Frankenstein Toes

My Mom loved my little Frankensteins. She isn't really into having her fingernail colored, but she has to have her toes lovely.  Usually she goes for reds and pinks, but lately she has been experimenting with other hues.  So she asked if I would do her toes, but she also wanted a Bride of Frankenstein.  She is my mother and went through the pains of labor to bring me into this world, so I must oblige her.  Please forgive the pre-clean up.  I rarely clean up toes, because they clean up so well on their own in the shower and the like.


This is the first time I have done lips.  What do you think?

Tootles!

P.S. The black dots on her other toes are actually Tonight's Gonna Be A Good Night from Wet N' Wild's Fergie collection.  I love this black glitter!

Why are there so many songs about rainbows?

If you can tell me what song the tittle of the post is from you get a gold star in heaven.  (You can't guess if you are a family member because if you don't know I will disown you.)
I co-worker said I was bringing her back to the 70s

So I am really happy with how this turned out.  I had the idea when I bought the glitter polish I used over it, Wet n' Wild Tonight's Going To Be A Good Night.  I am not a fan of Wn'W, but it was too cool not to buy and at an AWESOME price.  I mean Black Glitter!  Who does that?  Anyways, when I bought it I kept thinking what I would put it over and there a lot of colors it would look cool with and then it hit me.  A rainbow!  YES!  I thought I would sponge it on like you do with gradients (a technique I am just recently fiddling with), but with all the colors I wanted to use I wasn't sure I could get it quite right, so I decided to paint each individual line.  Yep hand paint every line, even with my non-dominant hand.  I didn't realize the task I undertook, till I was done, but it is definitely worth it.  I am so pleased!  After I finished I did remember seeing something similar on Chalkboard Nails, but mine does look different.


Thumb is the loneliest number


 I used China Glaze Hey Sailor, Happy Go Lucky, Gaga For Green, Finger Paints Orange You In Love?, and Essie Mezmerised.  Good times!  I think the blue might be a bit too dark, but it still makes my heart happy.  How can you not smile during the day when you look at a rainbow on your hands?

I hope you all like it!

I still have yet to come up with anything better.  Any suggestions?
