Nail Art A Go Go Challenge! ~ Day 8 Still Life

Hello Dahlings!

Ah...da best laid plans of mice & moms often go awry.

This is one of those manis.

It isn't a total fail, just could have been done better.

Today's prompt is Still Life.

You know...all those really boring paintings of vases of flowers & bowls of fruit you quickly pass by at da museum to get to da good stuff? In art classes, still life's are used to teach shading as well as perspective & proportioning. Trust me, they're as boring to paint as they are to look at. LOL

 

 My Fimo Flowers Still Life with Blobs.

I started with 2 coats of Enterprise.

Enterprise is as perfect to apply as every other TLV polish I have.

I curved da oval cabachon base by pressing it around da curve of my 

Ultra Birchwood Stick (aka jumbo cuticle stick) so it fit da curve of my nail better.

I badly painted stems for da fimo flowers (I think I got these from Amazon?)

using a small detail brush (not small enuf!) & Palm Tree.

A few dabs of Orly Top2Bottom used to attach everything & a coat of Seche Vite.

(note to self ~ wait for thick blobs of T2B to dry before adding SV!)

At this point Mr Inky pulled a Ritz out for Ciri.

Lil Cute-a-tude grabbed it & ran off,

then played with it until it was in small enuf bits to eat.

I made Mr Inky hunt down & clean up da crumbs!

 

Thanks for stopping by & please visit da other challengers!
