Inspired by Fashion Nail Art Contest - Time to Vote!

Voting is now closed! Winners will be announced soon!

I have been anxiously waiting for the day that I finally get to show you all the beautiful manicures submitted into the Inspired by Fashion Nail Art Contest. The challenge was to create a manicure inspired by fashion and these ladies met that challenge with full force! I have been inspired with each entry to start dreaming up my next fashion inspired look and I know you will be too!


I'm excited and honored that so many joined the contest, so without further ado, here are all the gorgeous entries (in the order that they were submitted)...



ENTRY #1
Charlotte (USA)

I love edgy fashion and knew this concept by Altuzarra would create some very cool nails!




ENTRY #2
Saima (Scotland)

Here is my first entry to a contest, 
I do so hope you judge it the best, 
I'm oft inspired by all I see, 
In clothes, in nature, the deep blue sea, 
My monochrome mani is from a carpet red, 
From frocks worn by two ladies drop dead, 
Their glamour was something to behold, 
I hope my mani is similarly extolled.




ENTRY #3
Loz (Australia)
http://polishpatterns.blogspot.com.au/

Miley Cyrus Oscars dress, I think she made some worst dressed lists, but I kinda think it's pretty!





ENTRY #4
Marta (Canada)
http://www.chitchatnails.com

While I collect nail polish and costume jewelry, I'm quite the plain-Jane when it comes to purses. I only own two... So when this great Fashion-Inspired contest started I thought "why not wear a purse-inspired look ON my nails ;)"





ENTRY #5
Maria (Romania)
http://konadnails.blogspot.com

I really love glittered dresses and this one made me want to dress my nails in it, too :)




ENTRY #6
Yarden (Israel)
http://onlypassingby.blogspot.co.il/

I searched for a while until I saw this dress and I just had the design in my mind.




ENTRY #7
Diana (The Netherlands)
http://dutch-diana.blogspot.nl/


It was actually my boyfriend who really liked this dress and said I should use this one :)
The gradient effect was the main reason for me and I don't do a animal print often so it was a great way to do that again too.





ENTRY #8
Yulia (Russia)
http://vicerimus.blogspot.com

I went through spring 2013 trends and was glad to learn that seafoam/mint green is going to be fashionable :) For my nails, I drew inspiration from the striped skirt the second from the right model is wearing.





ENTRY #9
Natalie (Israel)
http://nailzcraze.blogspot.com

I just liked the simple yet modern and sophisticated look of the dress and I think that this designs supports it




ENTRY #10
Tina (USA)
http://lightofthemoonnails.blogspot.com


The inspiration for this came from my beautiful new Vera Wang purse (found at Kohls). I am in love with this purse, so just had to recreate it on my nails!






ENTRY #11
Amanda (USA)

The dress is by Alexa Adams and Flora Gill and was on the Ohne Titel RTW fall 2012 runway. I especially liked the rich colors and they way they mingled. I feel it is simple, but interesting to look at.






ENTRY #12
Mary Helen (USA)
http://dailyenail.blogspot.com

I love stars. So Dolce & Gabbana's Fall 2011 runway was one of my favorite things ever. I picked my four favorite runway looks and tried to recreate them with a variety of techniques on my nails.







ENTRY #13
Hannah (USA)
http://thedalailamasnails.wordpress.com


Fashion is about expression, and I've always loved colors and patterns (something I love about nail art, too!). I was inspired by this dress from 1922 - I love the ombre, luxe fabric and the beautiful gold detailing. I knew right away when I saw this dress that it would make a gorgeous manicure!







ENTRY #14
Jackie (Canada)
http://www.jamegackie.com

As you'll see through my nail art inspiration, I'm going through a Victoria Secret obsession at the moment. I know weird right? But ever since the VS fashion show, I've just been really into the idea of strong beautiful independent women.





ENTRY #15
Stephanie (Canada)
http://www.sincerelystephanienails.com

These Victoria Beckham inspired nails were done freehand with my medium length striping brush.





ENTRY #16
Lydia (USA)
http://lydiasnails.blogspot.com/

My Entry is based of the LWren Scott Ready To Wear Spring dress in black, grey and white. My ring finger is the shoe and the rest of my nails are the dress.






ENTRY #17
Kaitlyn (USA)
http://musicisluv89.blogspot.com/

Mani inspired by Loriblu. They're adorable & way too expensive for me to even consider, but I thought it would make a cute mani.
