I originally posted this contest on my Facebook page but so far, everyone is a bit stumped so I decided to open it up here!
If you know the inspiration behind this nail art, let us know in the comments and win a $25 gift certificate to my Etsy shop OR if you’re not a press-on nails kind of person, I will make a charitable donation of $25 to the World Wildlife Fund, Humane Society International, Bat Conservation International or The Red Cross on your behalf.
OK, enough of that! Here’s the photo:
Hint: 1966!
Hint #2: It’s not music/art/movie related. Think more along the lines of child’s play….
The first person to leave the correct answer in the comments wins.
A Child’s Garden of Verses? The lion looks like the cover of the book
If I’m wrong, the nails are still pretty awesome!
Oh, that’s a good guess but not it! I’m glad you liked the nails too. Further hint: It’s not related to a book or movie.
I lived as a young adult in 1966 and this is not ringing any bells. I can think of plenty of things eventful that happened in 1966. It’ not Peter Max inspired, it’s nothing to do with the Dylan ‘goes electric 1966 World Tour. It’s not the Electric Kool Aid Acid Test – that was 68. It looks like it might have African influences on some of the nails. It’s not Warhol – It’s not the last Beatles tour. I can think of a zillion things reminiscent to 1966. I will keep looking at it.
Oh, I’m jealous! I wish I’d lived through that era! Instead I got the crummy old 80s, neon spandex, and awful pop music. All very good guesses but no cigar! Think of a more child-like passtime.
1966 marked the first Kwanzaa, right? Is that it?
Oh, interesting thought, but nope!
It seems to me they are Picasso inspired. Right?
Brian Wildsmith is all that comes to mind. However, that’s because he illustrated a book I owned as a child.
That is a really sharp thing to notice but not the answer!
Wizard of Oz, first showing
The Lion, Which and the Wardrobe, by C S Lewis?
Nope, but good guess!
Memory card game–and I take it the other hand has the matches?
Oh no! Did you get this before I posted the answer? Your comment and the answer look like they’re within 5 min of each other! If you did get the answer on your own, then you’re entitled to the prize! Let me know.
I’m on my mobile…you posted the answer? I’ll go online on the home computer and check it out. The mobile site doesn’t show it. Posted last night while at my kid’s swim lessons, only had two bars and had to keep reloading to try to get the comment to go through. Ah, well, if I missed out then that’s the way it goes!
Yeah, looks like we crossed each other by a few minutes- but no worries, you got the right answer and are entitled to the prize! Take a look at my shop at http://www.nevertoomuchglitter.etsy.com and see if there’s any goodies you’d like, or I can make a charitable donation on your behalf.
