The theme of the sixth installment of the Let’s Do The Time Warp Challenge (hosted by Neverland Nail Blog) is They sure don’t make ’em like they used to! Use that child-like imagination to dream up some nails inspired by a classic toy or game. I chose Super Mario Bros. as my theme for this challenge, and painted a classic enemy on each nail. I got my first gaming system when I was 18 (a PS2), so growing up video games were a treat reserved for sleepovers at my friend’s places, and most of my childhood memories of video games are either of Mario or SimCity. I’ve played many a game since those days, but really, you can’t beat a good Mario game.
