Now back to our regularly scheduled programming! Here’s nailpolishdistraction with a beautiful submission:

“Hey! I love burgers & I love your blog’s concept. This picture was taken in my boyfriend’s house where I was invited to eat burgers with a bunch of friends. It was delicious, I’ll give the burger a 8.5/10.

The nails are a D.I.Y. manicure. The diamond glitters are so sparkly & I love that combination of colors: blue & mint green, I never tried it before. I used the Essie - “Mint Candy Apple” & Sinful Colors - “Endless Blue” with my favourite Top Coat: Seche Vite. I can’t stop looking at them!!”

Dear London-based readers!

I have some special news for you! Nailburgerlar and Burgerac are teaming up to host a burgers and nails party on Tuesday the 25th at Shoreditch House! If you or any of your friends are Shoreditch house members, come on down to get some nail art from The Illustrated Nail and Nancy McNails amongst others! Then you can grab a burger from the Dirty Burger on the fifth floor!

If you don’t live in London, or not able to make it, you can watch the whole party unfold live right here. I’ll be live blogging the whole event, so you can see all the great nail art even before it’s dry!

Look forward to seeing you there!

“This burger is actually from Outback in glendale. it had cheese and bacon on it and was probably an 8 out of 10. pretty decent.

The nails are another DIY mani sticking with the theme of summer. its got blue sky, lemons, and a palm tree sunset.”

Thanks a lot Paigeatwork! Great summer look. Stay tuned for second submission from Paige tomorrow!

Stay tuned for meaty goodness.

“My burger is from Hayden’s Grill in Canton, MI. It’s a turkey Hayden burger with American cheese on a brioche bun, and it was oh-so good. I’d rate it a 9/10. Yes, it was that good.
My nails are a DIY effort, using cute little nail stickers by Design Fx in the pattern “Touch of Bling.” “

Thanks a lot lunaqorn, what a unique look. Thanks for sending it in!

“These are my DIY nails using mostly ciate polishes. I was going for a neon California look with palm trees, clouds and leopard print gradients.

The burger is leftover from Red Robin in the Glendale Galleria. It was a chili burger with a fried egg added. it was pretty solid until it cooled down.

i’m on instagram @paigearose !”

Hey paigeatwork, take my advice on this one, burgers are best eaten all at once and very often, not to be left until they’re classified as ‘leftovers’. I’m sure you learned that the hard way. Your nails look AMAZING! I love the 80’s geometry!

“DIY nails with Orly Haute Red and Pretty & Polished Freedom Calling topped with SV. I supposed I was feeling very patriotic today.

My burger is also DIY. I made a California burger. I marinated the chicken all day in teriyaki sauce and then grilled it. Topped with swiss cheese, grilled pineapple slices, avocado, red onion, tomato, lettuce and a squirt of mayo on an onion bun. I give it a 9/10. It could have used some bacon of course!”

Of course it could’ve used some bacon Maiya Mahem! When is that not true?!

“Yesterday, my boyfriend gave me the idea to do hamburger nails. I’ve been enrolled in beauty school for the last month, so my creativity hasn’t been up to par. I used OPI “Don’t Pretzel My Buttons” for the buns, OPI “Suzi Loves Cowboys” for the beef, Sally Hansen “Lightening” for the cheese, OPI “The Thrill of Brazil” for the tomatoes and China Glaze “Tree Hugger” for the lettuce. After I finished my manicure, we decided to get some late night burgers from P. Terry’s in Austin, Texas. I worked at Red Robin in high school and a local drive-in to pay my way through college, so I have a lot of experience in burgers. The bacon cheeseburger from P. Terry’s hits the spot, every time, though their fries are not nearly as good. Thanks for letting me share my work with y’all, sending love from the Lone Star State!”

Thanks a lot atxlacquerista , we love the burger on burger look around here!

It’s Aislinn with some Primark nail stickers (towards the end of their run I see!) with a burger from the ultra glamorous White Trash in Berlin! Thanks Aislinn!

“Nails hand painted by Yang at Primp and Polish in Brooklyn, New York.
Blue cheese burger from Zoe in Manhattan, NY. Topped with tomatoes and sour pickles. 10 gold stars for both my burger and my fancy manicure!”

Thanks Ashley in NY, your rating even gets colours and shapes!

“Bacon and Cheese burger from GBK London Bridge (next to the Clink Prison Museum), London UK. I’d give it a 7/10.

This lovely baby blue is BPFF (Best Polish Friends Forever) by a great US indie brand called Colores De Carol (Hi Carolina!!), it’s full of glitter of all sizes in white blue, magenta, purple and green. I did a bit of watermarbling on the accent finger with BarryM colors, but watermarble is the worst and I’m not very good at it.. (base: OPI Nail Envy Original, top coat: Sally Hansen Insta-Dry)

Colores De Carol doesn’t always open to international shipping, but when she does you should get one of these babies because they’re super cute fun and unique! Support indie brands! <3”

Thanks a lot iaimtomisbehave, fantastic look! I think the watermarble turned out good!

“My burger is the egg burger from iHop in Muncie, IN. Everything on it but tomatoes (yucko!) Perfect as always with onion rings for my side.

My nails (DIY) are Freemason symbols as I’m horribly obsessed with anything, or one, Mason related.
Polishes:
Wet n Wild Retro Mint for the base.
Sinful Colors Snow me White and NYC Spring Street for the designs. No top coat since I want to redo them.”

Thanks Gally in IN.

“Nails are by me at Dollhouse Nails, and are acrylic extensions with love heart tips in Valentine by Filthy Gorgeous and two coats of Seche Vite topcoat for extra shine.

The burger is from Berlin Burger International, which is in Neukolln Berlin. Its a cheese burger which I added avocado too as an extra, it was super delicious, and is definably the best burger I have had so far in Berlin. It tasted extra good, as we were hungover as hell, having been at Club Renate the night before. It was a pretty messy one to eat though, but worth it! undeniably a 9/10 kind of burger!”

“My nails are my own DIY acrylics, I love nude talons!! The polish is Color Club’s Nomadic in Nude.

The burger is The Original from Ketchup, a cute burger restaurant on Ashton Lane in Glasgow, Scotland. It came with delicious homemade coleslaw and a side of fries, and was amaaaaazing! 10/10 easily!

Other nail art by me are on my nail tumblr let’s nail”

Thanks, Let’s nail, we love nude talons too! Great look.

“DIY gradient of Wet N Wild “I Need A Refresh-Mint” to “Tickled Pink”

(sorry for the wear/cuticles, eek!)
Can’t go wrong with a Five Guys burger! :)”

Agreed L-Brick!

“I tried these lace effect nails after seeing a step by step in a magazine aaages ago, I think I may have gone a little OTT though?! and I reckon it came out looking more like paisley, which is a cool print too! I used models own nail varnish in ‘cool blue’ and models own white nail art pen. The burger was a Mcdonalds double cheeseburger, which I got at the drivethru after a 2hour drive back from my parents. I would usually only give it a 3/10, but I was so starving hungry that on this occasion ill give it 7/10 because it saved me from gnawing my steering wheel for 1.49!”

Thanks a lot 1989fizz, sorry about that Mcdonald’s burgergency!

“Taken in a bit of a hurry as I wanted to start eating ASAP :)

DIY nails using Barry M Greenberry, my new favourite in a gradient with 2mm silver square studs. The burger is from Harvester which is a chain in the UK. If I’m wanting a burger fix, I go there for this beef burger. 8oz burger with cheese, lettuce, mayo and ketchup. I’d give it a 7/10 as it’s nothing too fancy but it does the job.”

Thanks Poppingnails, I know that feeling of wanting to eat straight away, but getting the photo done first!
