In addition to my love of nail polish, I love reading. Many of you know this about me. I recently joined a book club which combines the two called The Polished Bookworms! The book for January was Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty. The plot took many unexpected turns, and was definitely a drama. One of the things I really appreciated about the book was that she covered some darker issues that some people may not want to think about at all. I appreciated that most. The group will be doing nail art at the end of each month that is inspired by the book we have read. Here are mine:
One of the central locations in the book is a coffee shop called Blue Blues, I drew my color inspiration from the shop. It is a safe and cozy place for the characters to just relax. I was also inspired by the ocean, as they live next to it, and also by the mystery and murkiness that surrounds all of the secrets they keep. I used Rimmel Blue Eyed Girl, Essie Aruba Blue, and Julie G Santorini. I used the plastic bag method to swirl the colors while they were all still wet to get the murky effect. I love how it turned out!
If you are interested in reading Big Little Lies, I highly recommend it. You can read reviews and summaries on Goodreads.com. Thanks for reading! Hope you liked this post.

ReplyDeleteHi Andrea, I'm SO JEALOUS of your nail polish book club!!!!!!!!!! I can't tell you how long I've been trying to either join or start up a book club, and then do mani's that somehow symbolize or relate to the book and its themes. Are your members local so you can meet in person? I love your nails today and will also go check out "Big Little Lies." Thanks for the inspiration you've given me! <3
ReplyDeleteThank you! It is very mysterious!
ReplyDeleteI love blues!

ReplyDeleteAndrea, thanks so much for following up on this with me. =) I actually am not on Facebook (and don't really want to join up for various reasons...), but I do so appreciate you filling me in on this great idea. Thanks, as always, for all the inspiration you give me with your blog! <3
