Today I have the eleventh installment of my Musical Manicures series to share with you. If you are keeping track here on the blog, you may realize I did not post about the tenth installment, as it featured Operation Mincemeat, which I just shared a review of not long ago. However, you can visit me on Instagram to see the manicure! This time around, I picked Honeymoon in Vegas out of the random jar of shows, and got to work picking multiple polishes from my nail polish collection to create a manicure inspired by the show.
I saw Honeymoon in Vegas back in November 2014 with my friend who was visiting me in the city. I was especially keen to see this show because it starred Tony Danza, who I loved watching in Who’s the Boss? growing up. We bought $32.00 rush tickets, and had mezzanine seats on the left side that were so uncomfortable I can still remember how squished our legs were. Unfortunately, this is one of those situations where I remember more about our seats than the show itself! Looking at the Playbill, I know we saw an incredible cast, but the music is so forgettable that I could not tell you a single song. I do remember a number with the cast all dressed as Elvis, and notes from my old blog let me know I overall had a good time. Sometimes shows just do not stick with you even if you enjoyed them in the moment!

For the Honeymoon in Vegas nails, I definitely wanted to focus on the sparkly gold background of the Playbill. I also decided to incorporate the iconic red and white Las Vegas sign, so I used an accent nail for that purpose. For the gold nails, I actually used three different nail polishes. I started with a base of Zoya Moki, which is a metallic gold polish. Then I added one coat of Holo Taco Gold Flake Taco, a yellow gold glitter polish, and one coat of Zoya Vienna, a gold metallic polish with holographic glitters. Layering all three shades really gave me the glittery look I was hoping to achieve!
As for the accent nail, I did one coat of Zoya Soko, a red cream polish. Then I layered LVX Fantom, a white nail polish, on top leaving the red peaking out like a reverse french manicure. I had to apply 2-3 layers of the white polish letting it dry in between so I did not smudge it with the red shade. I then added a “love” nail sticker from the Le Mini Macaron Joli Emoji set. Finally, I sealed my entire manicure using the Zoya Ultra Glossy Top Coat.
Overall, I think my manicure does a great job at capturing the essence of the Honeymoon in Vegas Playbill. I may not remember much about the show itself, but at one point I will listen to the Original Broadway Cast recording and see if it rings any bells. For now, I will spend the week admiring my gold sparkly nails!
