I'm back in Holland! I had a great time at home although I did find out I am pre-diabetic which was..well. Quite a shock, however on the plus side finding out this now is a good thing as I can totally make changes to reverse this.
I'm actually really
happy with the nail art I am going to share with you today. I had had
this idea in my mind for a couple of years but I kept putting it off
as I didn't think I do my idea justice.. well. It was time to come
back to it and give it a fair go!
I wanted to create a
very dark looking version of the Little Red Riding Hood; I don't
think she has any idea he's slinking along behind her, do you?
I used OPI's Nail Envy
for my base coat and applied two smooth coats of Barry M's 'White'
nail polish for my painting canvas. I added a thin coat of my Pro-FX
top coat as a nice anchor for my acrylic to stick to.
For this manicure I
played heavily with black and white acrylic paint, doing my best to
mix all the shades of grey in between to create strong contrasts. Of
course I needed a few flecks of red here and there.
I don't think my wolf
looks particularly scary but he is pretty big, I think i'd have a
fright if I turned around and saw him following me. He's pretty
fluffy though so I'd probably try and hug him!
Have you done
any fairytale nail art? Would you be scared of this wolf?
Have a beautiful day, my friends. Thank you so much for taking time to come visit
me and my nails! I'll catch you again onWednesday :)
Love
Ithi
This is kind of scary but very amazing freehand work. The wolf gives me creep :)
ReplyDeleteIt's so dark and creepy, gorgeous, I love the Red Riding Hood tale <3
ReplyDeleteGorgeous nail art - you are brilliant :-D
ReplyDeleteOh well at least they've spotted it early. You should check out 5:2 Diet/Intermitting Fasting and the relationship it has with diabetes. Knew a type 2 and it made a big difference to him.
You played so well here with the gray shades and you gave depth to the whole image. Great one as always, even if is a scary image!
ReplyDeleteLove it! I have to admit I don't find the wolf that scary but maybe that's because I've always thought wolves were magnificent rather than scary ;)
ReplyDeletePlease take care of yourself and, if you haven't done so already, please talk to your GP about that pre-diabetes if possible. Diabetes can be very nasty :(
That's scary..that really is....and wonderful art by you Ithi. :-)
ReplyDeleteThese are incredible! Both beautiful and scary!
