31DC2012: Day 24 - Inspired by a Book

Every girl out there should know what these nails are inspired by. ;) And if you haven't, HAVE YOU BEEN LIVING UNDER A ROCK?! :P

I saw BrieBrie do Burn Book nails, so I did Burn Book nails. ;)

YES it's the Burn Book from Mean Girls! Fellow Aussie, Brie, did an amazing tutorial on Instagram and I knew I HAD to do it for "Inspired by a Book"! Perfect! :D Tons of my manis lately have been inspired by Brie! Her nails are gorgeous. :) If you aren't following her on Instagram already, get on it! :D
Beware, this post includes many photos with a super awkward hand pose in order to show my thumb in the photo. 

For my base colour I used Rimmel London - Hot Shot. My bottle is getting low (the bottles are quite small, and it's my go to hot pink polish) so it's kinda thick and getting bubbly. :( I also used Ulta3 - Lily White, Black Satin and Butter London - Pillar Box Red for the lips on my thumb (not sure if you can see that in my photos since it kinda blends in with the pink base). I also used Black and White BY stripers.

This was surprisingly easy to do but my impatient-ness caused me to smudge a couple nails with my top coat. :(

My sister was a meanie and said this mani looks crap. She's like my worst critic. She said the colour didn't accurately match the Burn Book and that it was a shade lighter. Oh jeez. Hahah. By the way, she's 12. LOL!
