I could not decide which nail art to re-create so…

I decided to cheat a little and re-create something from “Hobbit Fan of the Week” (from the movie facebook page) Katie Alves who did this awesome Hobbit-inspired eye look. I know for sure I could never do this on my eyes but I wanted to give it a go on my nails.

This manicure came out so much better than I anticipated. I am so glad this is the last prompt so I can keep it on for as long as possible!!

…And chances are I will be doing it again in December when the next movie comes out!
