PURPLE
CRUMPET FAIRY CHALLENGE – The 31 Days of Christmas
Day 12 - Reindeers
Hi
Goddesses
Oh
boy. Oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy
oh boy. I was NOT looking forward to
this!
I have to
say a huge thank you to Samariums Swatches – she did a great post the other day
over a red glitter, and whilst I haven’t copied it exactly, it was up on my
screen as a comfort blanket throughout the “art” process.
I also have
to say a huge thank you to Maria at The Girl With The Rainbow Hands. I was moaning about my sucky artwork the
other night, and she encouraged me to trim my art brushes – so I did! I made them a LOT finer and voila, I think I
am ok with this one J
I love
Rudolph. He’s such an iconic part of
Christmas, as well as being one of the very best Christmas songs. I also love Slammin Red by Studio M, so kept
that on as my base, and my final love is these different perspectives I’ve been
doing. I’m really enjoying doing the
full design on one nail, then zoomed in versions of part of it on the others.
The only
other polish you really need to know about is SOPI Metro Chic, which was my
reindeer colour, and then I just picked any black and any white out of my
monotone box.
The thumb
is my joint favourite nail. Now I don’t
know why, but Rudolph looks quite feminine to me on this nail – how is that
even possible ? lol. My other favourite nail is the ring finger,
probably because there’s more antler action, and I also love how Rudolph looks
like he’s peeking over the edge of my nail J
The index
finger was a zoom in of the face. I
think I should have made everything a bit bigger on this one. Rudolph is also supposed to be bog-eyed
looking at the snowflake that’s landed on his nose. And then the little finger is just a skinny
stretch faced Rudolph. If you look
really closely, you can just see the start of his ears and antlers near the
cuticle.
Now, you
know I never celebrate my nail art, but I’m feeling quite comfortable with
this. Not the best, but nowhere NEAR the
disaster it could have been! Please also
remember this was all done with my wrong hand – that gives me extra pity
smiles, yes ?
What’s
tomorrow? Angels. Man alive, MORE art work. Someone give me a break here … is there a day
that just asks for 20 purple swatches ….?
Anyone ????
Enjoy xx J
Top Tip – if you’re
ever unsure what a nail colour looks like, go to Google images, which will give
you plenty of contrasts and compares.
