This musical is awesome! When I first heard it was in development when I was in high school, I though it would be the worst idea for a musical ever, but after I heard it I was hooked and then I finally got around to seeing it and it was so epically amazing!!!
Chip on my Shoulder
Laura Bell Bundy as Elle Woods and Christian Borle as Emmett
Check out SMASH Monday night at 10 on NBC where Christian stars as musical composer Tom. Smash is awesome!! Everyone check it out!!!
Today's Broaway post is nail art for Rent the musical, but I took it from the movie because its more colorful. Instead of a bottle today I took a picture with my DVD box so you guys know where I got my inspiration :)

Today's is really simple because I wasn't quite sure what to do.... I may end up re-doing this one soon. I really do love how this came out though and I'll probably actually wear it at some point, assuming I can write the letters on my other hand.
So I decided that I wanted to try my hand a bettering my nail art and I came up with this "challenge" for myself since I love musicals so much. I decided to take 25 shows that I love and try to do nail art looks for them... some may be better than others but I'm mostly just doing this for fun. Also, for each show I will be putting my favorite song/performance from that show after the nail post :)
The first show I decided to do was Wicked. The musical about Oz and what happened before Dorothy. Each nail depicts something/someone from the show.

OPI Ski Teal We Drop and white striper
Hello! Today's post I'm really excited about. Its a Broadway spam day! I'm posting the other colors I own from the OPI Broadway collection with a HUGE shout out to Katherine from Haul of Fame for taking the time to track these down for me! THANK YOU!!! After I do the swatches and post their corresponding musicals I'm gonna post video of my favorite musicals of the moment for your guys' enjoyment!
Movin' Out. Pink/Purple/Green multichrome with micro glitter. I really love this though it was really hard for me to capture the duochrome but I LOVE this!! So much!! Way more than I thought I would like this. My only problem with this is its so sheer. This is 4 coats and I can still see my nail line... I'm gonna have to wear this over something next time... either way I still love it and the musical its named after:
"River of Dreams/Keeping the Faith/Only the Good Die Young" from Movin' Out
Man of La Mancha. 3 coat. Orange/copper/yellow multichrome. The formula on this bad boy was way better than Movin' Out, but I don't like the colors as much
"The Impossible Dream" from Man of La Mancha
For this I decided to do 2 of the lighter colors over black.
Index and Middle have 3 coats of Thorougly Modern Millie
Ring and Pinky have 3 coats of Mamma Mia.
I really like these but they are a lot like RENT by OPI, their base colors are different but the duochrome is really close. I really like these and I need to find different ways to wear these! I can't wait!! :)
Gimme Gimme from Thoroughly Modern Millie with the uh-mazing Sutton Foster!
Money, Money, Money from the movie version of Mamma Mia because I love Meryl Streep so much!
and now its time to go Broadway crazy... feel free to x out if you're not a showtunes kind of person! These are mostly my current favorites :) My taste in musicals changes a lot... I mostly get really obsessed with what's currently on broadway and such.
Anything Goes from Anything Goes 2011 Revival starring Sutton Foster
Brotherhood of Man from How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying starring Daniel Radcliffe
Mamma Who Bore Me/Bitch of Living/Totally Fucked from Spring Awakening starring Lea Michele (before she started to suck on Glee)
96,000 from In the Heights
21 Guns from American Idiot (yes Green Day made a musical!)
Memphis Lives in Me from Memphis
Pulled from The Addams Family
I think that's about it for now... I have many, many more favorites but you know... I can't put them all here haha... if you like this kind of stuff feel free to email me and ask me for recommendations! :)
