The Only Thing Better Than Hairspray...

Actually, there are lots of things better than hairspray.  As a dancer, I have spent way too much time basking in the suffocating chemical stench of hairspray in change-rooms backstage at shows and competitions.

However, when it comes to the musical, you gotta love it!  I discovered it with the release of the 2007 movie adaptation, and my friends and I were so obsessed with it.  Looking back, it was pretty hilarious how much we were in love with that movie, but hey, we were in grade 7.


Of course, I still know every word of every song, and I'll always go back and re-watch that movie.  Plus, who can resist a little James Marsden?  ;)

Anyways, the occasion that prompted this nail art was a local school's production of Hairspray, which I went to see last night.  I know a few people in it (it's not my school, because I'm cool and do school online) so I went with a few friends from dance.   



For this look, I started each nail with a base of OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls. When that was dry, I taped off half of each nail and added the following colours, thumb to pinky: LaCC 1963 (so close! - the story is set in 1962), piCture pOlish Fairy Floss, LaCC 1977, LaCC 1972, and LaCC 1963 again.  the letters were all done in acrylic paints.  I added two coats of LaCC 2013 top coat for a smooth finish.  


So, are you a fellow Hairspray fan?  Have you seen a production of the musical or the movie?  :D

    Wow, that looks so good! Very professional looking. I never was a fan of the movie or the play, but all that matters is that your nails look great!

    Love these! I saw the movie before I saw the stage musical. I think that's when I fell in love with Zac Efron and James Marsden lol.
