Allo polish Pals!
How are you all doing
today? I hope you've got something lovely to look forward to this
weekend?
I think I'm going to
get some time outside in the fresh air, weather permitting! Its been
so hit and miss with the weather this week. Hurry up, summer!
Today's nail art is one
that comes with fond memories. I don't know about you but maths
wasn't my best subject in score... I have always been hopeless with
numbers – once, many moons ago when I was in school I got pulled
aside as I had all my answers completely backwards. If the answer was
81 I'd written 18! The teacher thought I may have Dyscalculia which
is the mathematical version of dyslexia.
Anyway.. There was one
time in my life where maths could bring me joy. THANK YOU Sesame
Street for making maths and numbers less scary and of course all the
lovely, squishy, cuddly friends you introduced me to!
When I found out this
weeks challenge over on Tiny Canvas had the theme Dracula I knew I
had to pay homage for my first ever maths teacher Count Von Count!
Also, the reason for this weeks theme is because Dracula day falls on
the 26th of May – Yeah.. I'm a bit early but hey :)
I'm a bit 'eeeeh' with
my Count, I really wanted him to be spot on and I can see things that
are just 'not right' that don't make him look identical.. but I
tried.
For this manicure I
used a polish besides white, BAHAHA. Can you believe it? I swear, no
lies!
I used my usual OPI
Nail Envy base coat and once dry applied two coats of Catrice's
'Must-Have STEELetto' – a
perfect and silvery lilac. I thought this would be a great contrast
against other purples. I attempted to create a swirly gradient and of
course painted Count Von Count himself.
I
finished it all off with my PRO-FX top coat and eventually my matte
top coat.
What
do you guys think of my Count Von Count? Who was your fave Sesame
Street friend?
Have
a wonderful weekend, my friends! Thank you so much for visiting :)
I'll catch you again on Monday!
Love,
Ithi
I don't really know the characters of the sesame street, it wasn't that popular here when I was a child, but your mani is awesome. It turned out SO great! Love everything, the Count, the cute numbers, the colours.. great!
ReplyDeleteI love him, and I think he looks absolutely amazing! I also love how you did the swirly number bits on the other fingers- super fun design overall!
ReplyDeleteYou did absolutely great!! My husband immediately recognized Count von Count and I'm pretty sure he hasn't seen Sesame Street for ages. He's on YouTube now, looking up old episodes :D
ReplyDeleteSweetie, that is awesome! I envy your skills so much!
ReplyDeleteIf somebody can love Dracula, it's yours :D
