Long Cat Nails!

When someone visits my apartment, if they sit still for more than about five minutes I'm going to paint their nails.  It's inevitable.  I'll get a guy one of these days... Anyway, I had my nice friend Erica around the other day and because she does amazing work painting intricate shoes, I instead bribe her to actually paint my nails.  She did a great rocket cat themed mani for me earlier in the year so of course the next logical progression is Long Cat.  That looks like my cat.  Yeesssss

To start, I applied three coats of China Glaze Electric Beat and let it dry completely.  Erica then worked her magic with acrylic paints to create the wonderful image you see before you.  She started by marking out the shape of the body so it would line up properly, then filled in the body, detailed the face and added shading, clouds and one tiny tree, you know, for scale.  I then topped it off with a coat of Seche Vite and done, the longest cat is done! 

The Verdict:  I love how this came out, especially since it looks like my cat, Rocket.  Who is the cutest cat in the world.  Thanks Erica :D:D

Yo Dog, I Heard You Liked Nail Polish.......sorry

I apologise in advance for any and all meme related content in this post but come on, how could I not do it?  So here we go: I heard you liked nail polish so I put some polish on your nails!  With polish!  But not actually polish, acrylic paints!  I don't know how I'm going to hold all this polish on my nails!  Yayyyyyyy! ....sorry. I'll stop now. 

So I have an awesome friend who does this great small scale acrylic painting on shoes so I steal her sometimes and bribe her to do said painting on my nails.  She's done my cat in space, and my cat as long cat for me so far, and this time I wanted her to do me a pattern of nail polish bottles.  After applying two coats of OPI My Vampire Is Buff, she did her thing with acrylic paints.  It of course came out super awesome.  Thanks Erica! 

The Verdict:  I love how this came out.  The colours in the bottles work so well with the off-white background and it just looks all-round awesome.  I only wish I could have kept it on longer.  But you know, the glitter beckons.  Thanks again Erica!
