Ladybugs!
10:47:00 PMI'm feeling like poop tonight. My throat is sore and my head is all wonky. I'm blaming the weather. As I stated in my other posts, it was 80 degrees here last week. Tonight we're expecting a frost and currently it is 33 degrees.
When the temperatures were warm, it brought back my favorite lucky little bugs. Ladybugs! Ladybugs are pretty much the only bug that I can stand, all others gross me out. Do not get me started on spiders. So since the little ladybugs were landing on my car and on my house, I thought it was only appropriate I paint them on my nails.
Colors Used:
- Base
- Sinful Colors - Sugar, Sugar
- Bug Details
- Sinful Colors - Black on Black
- Sinful Colors - Snow Me White
- Top Coat
- New York Color - White Lights Glitter
The technique was very simple. I used almost the same technique as CutePolish in her video. I started with a base of the red coat. CutePolish in her video just swiped the nail polish across the tip, I always have issue doing this and getting it straight, so I taped half my nail and painted on the black tips. Then I used my regular polish brush and created the center line. Then, I dotted on the spots and little antennas with a dotting tool. Next, I took the dotting tool and placed on the eyes. I decided that the plain white eyes were kind of creepy looking, so I decided to give them little googly eyes.
I really wish that my red polish was brighter. I love them, but they're just so dark. When I added the glitter and then my Sally Hansen top coat, they lightened up a bit. I may have to invest in a brighter one.
Literally, every time I look down at my nails, I think of Butters from South Park singing this song.
