Yay MoYou: The Bookworm Contest! I was just thinking the other day that I wished they would do another challenge and then magically got the newsletter about this awesomeness!

I don’t know if I’ll do all the books on the list. I might just pick my own favourites and do those. First up is Pride and Prejudice! I really love minimalist covers for classic novels - I’ve collected a lot of the recent penguin releases - so this is where most of my inspiration has been coming from.

I can’t take the wait for this game! Get ready for incoming DAI nail art (assuming I can spare the time these days) over the new month or so. I CAN’T WAIT! OMGOMGOMGOMG!!!!! Oh yeah, and these babies glow in the dark. :3 As they should! Tecqnique used was water marbling plus free hand.
