MoYou London 31 Day Nail Art Challenge: Day 16 Youtuber

Hey stamparellas,

I thought today's theme was going to crush me.  Why? Because I had no idea what this concept should entail.  I thought Youtube means I need the logos or something right? I don't have them on MoYou London plates.  I have them on other plates that can't be included.  Then I thought hey I started on Youtube well before my blog or any other social media accounts.  Youtube was the birth of Lacquer Lockdown.  I only created the blog because Youtube kept deleting my info box and all the relevant details I put there.  The blog was my backup insurance and then it became more prominent than my Youtube channel.  So I figured why not create a mani from one that started me on this path with MoYou products? Then everything became easy...

My Geisha girl nails were originally done using the Konad special plate and stamper.  I really can tell this was from so long ago because of  how I created my gradients etc.  Lol I can only shake my head seeing that today.  I've come a long way that's for sure.  This time I decided to let a thermal do the talking and the gradation.  That meant PolishedbyKPT Sunday Morning and Pomegranate - blue and pink to white thermals respectively.  That was the hardest part - picking the bases.  I own every single Suki Collection plate.  It's one of my favorite collections bar none from MoYou and I really hope they keep adding plates to it.  Having all the plates made it easy to look through and find the elements I wanted.  The point of this mani wasn't to do things verbatim from the prior mani, but to take something I loved then and put my spin on it now.  Yes, I needed the geisha girl and the flowers and a few jewels, but everything else was going to be in my current style.

So what do you think? I feel that because I took elements of who I was when I started out and who I am now years later I got the best of both worlds. I love stamping, but I also forgot how much I love studs and rhinestones, and all that girly stuff.  I really enjoyed this mani.  It flowed which has been rare in this challenge.  I hoped you liked it and thanks for reading! See you next post...
