80’s vs 90’s

Both the 80s and the 90s were huge for music, so today I thought I would compare both eras.

For me the 90’s has to be the best era for music. In the 90s Yo! MTV Raps took over peoples TV’s and hip-hop music as a whole became more and more popular, and if you haven’t noticed from my blog already I am a big fan of rap/hip-hop music. Aswell as hip-hop music you seen the rise of famous pop stars like Britney Spears and bands like Oasis.

Being a 90s baby myself I was brought up on 80s music, which I can’t lie was also a great era for music but I still prefer the 90s.

I decided for my 90s themed nails that I would mix together some of my favourite things, like run dmc for example:

I interviewed Mark Brun a Multimedia Journalist who runs an 80s themed music blog and would disagree with my opinion, “The music was so diverse with loads of different styles back then like new romantic, rock ska, reggae and it was the start of house music.”

“Some of the most popular things in the 80s were: tight jeans, white stiletto shoes, mullet hairstyles, novelty songs and singers, yuppies, drinking to excess, launch of MTV, compact disc and the launch of 24 hour television.”

Of course for my 80s nail art I just decided to do some crazy patterned nails:

I asked a couple of people which era they thought was the best:

From the popular Disney movie ‘Frozen’ I decided to design a cute little set of Olaf inspired nails.

Instead of focusing on the Disney princesses I decided to draw the snowman, while having the catchy song ‘Do you want to build a snowman’ stuck in my head for a long while!

This design was really fun to do and it involved a lot of glitter, which looks really cute until you have to take it off and it sticks to your nails for days! If you are doing this design you don’t have to use the glitter I just thought it looked Christmassy.

I used nail art pens to draw Olaf, you can buy these online. I would suggest looking on eBay because its cheaper than other sites.

Once you have all the proper equipment drawing the snowman will be really easy as long as you follow the step by step guide and have patience.

This nail design would look really nice around Christmas time and I will definitely be doing more Frozen inspired nails around that time.
