Okay so it is finally autumn and with autumn comes football! Now I'm not normally a girl who enjoys football, but I do enjoy the parties and good food that come with watching a game with friends. I don't actually have a team I root for, however, when the Pats were in their first Super Bowl a few years ago I randomly rooted for them. It was easy to pick, if Pepsi had the first commercial I would cheer for the Pats and if Coke had the first commercial it was the Carolina Panthers. Therefore I cheered for the Pats and they won that year, and the next year I cheered for them just because they were the winners the year before. Therefore I am a bandwagon fan and think Tom Brady can wear the heck out of a pair of Wrangler jeans. But the Mr. is from New Hampshire so he has always rooted for the Pats and the Red Sox (ask about the time I wore the Yankees hat.). So for tonight's Monday night football game between the Pats and Bills I have done a Patriots inspired mani. I have been told by my other half that since the Pats are wearing their throwback uniform they will lose so don't say I wasn't warned my mani will be for nothing.
There were three polishes used to pull this off and it definately isn't perfect, but will serve. Since the other half is a MAN he doesn't mind uneven lines, but it was the first thing he noticed when he walked in the door. For the gray base I used Orly Mirror, Mirror, the blue tip is OPI Sea? I Told You!, and the red stripe is OPI Affair in Red Square. Mirror Mirror and Sea? I Told You! were both two coats and one coat of An Affair in Red Sqaure put on with my striping/dotting brush.
It is nearly night time so the pictures were taken near dusk.

Ugh, football...
ReplyDeleteThat's all you see on tv at our house this time of year. If a game isn't on then Mark is playing a football game on xbox. I'm a Steelers fan because Ricky says so and I like watching that one guy with the poofy hair.
This is a cute idea and I love, love, love your color choices! If we have to suffer through football at least we can make it girly. You did a good job with the brush if you ask me, nothing too noticeable in these pics!
P.S. I told Mark and Ricky you were Pats fans and they called them dirty cheaters LOL!
ReplyDeleteIt was fun and even in their unlucky uniforms they still won, without cheating. Sorry guys, but everyone would do it if they thought they could get away with it...besides it was a little cheat, not like breaking into houses and stealing playbooks or anything LOL...they still lost the Super Bowl...I like Maroney on the Pats and Brady in Wrangler jeans, but for Steelers I agree Palamano (you get the gist) does have some crazy hair!
