I don't know about you, but when I was younger, I loved Hard Rock Café. It was a frequent choice for a birthday celebration, and I always had to collect those guitar pins. Artistic Nail Design's new Summer 2021 collection, Alive & Amplified, is a collaboration with Hard Rock Café and I couldn't be more excited. I was lucky enough to be gifted with this set, and it is everything you want in a summer nail polish collection...bold, vibrant colors that scream fun. I'm finally putting my pin collection to use, and creating some awesome Hard Rock inspired manis.First up is Strike A Chord, a neon orange crème, and a mani is inspired by this Hard Rock Café motorcycle pin. I incorporated the color scheme and the chrome accents for an edgy mani that is sure to turn heads.Polish Used:Artistic Colour Revolution - Strick A ChordArtistic Colour Revolution - Light Up The StageWet N Wild - Ebony Hates ChrisBase and top coatsOther Supplies:Makeup spongeNail tapeSilver and black studs and spikesKrazy GlueDark grey glitterInstead of doing a regular flame nail, the a gradient works as a minimalistic flame design.
