TIHNAC #8

The theme for today is witches.  I was inspired by two different artists and decided to incorporate both ArcadiaNailArt and Nails In Nippon.  Well, mine did not turn out as well.  First of all, it is a lot harder to draw a silhouette then I thought it would be.  (That is what the ring finger is supposed to be, a silhouette of a witch)  Secondly, China Glaze Mummy May I was not the best choice as the background color.  It made everything too dark.  Oh well, you can win the all.  I did learn a few things and I had fun, that is all that matters, right?  Right?

Dotting tools were my friend though all of this, of and a detail brush.  Besides Mummy May I, I used China Glaze Tree Hugger, Electric Beat, Glitter Goblin, Hey Sailor, Liquid Leather, and of course Finger Paints Paper Mâchè.

The other problem was squeezing in time to take the pictures.  Consequently I am losing daylight supper fast.

All in all, it wasn't an epic fail, I just felt I could have done better if I had the time to do it again.  Maybe next year.



Don't forget to check out all the other participants.  Their talent is awe inspiring!

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?

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!

TIHNAC: Day 2

Today We are supposed to post a water marble.  I am not that great at water marble.  In fact I did one version last night and then re-did it this afternoon.  So, I decided to add a little monster to it.  I am really happy with him and the water marble.  I love the colors and the simplicity of it.

I used China Glaze Recycle, Tree Hugger, Liquid Leather, and Finger Paints Paper Machè.  CG Recycle is used in the eye.  I know it is such a tiny amount, but I thought I should put it there.

A close up of my thumb.  I think this one looks the best.  The scar is homage to Herman Munster.  I don't think either of them could ever possibly be scary.

The previous version of water marbling.  This version also had China Glaze White on White and Zombie Zest.  I like the simpler version a bit better.  What do you think?

Tootles!
