Polar Bear

Nothing to Disclose

Hello lovelies!

Let me start this post by apologizing for my cuticles. Holy whoa are they awful in these shots. It looks like I went up to the Arctic to paint these nails plein air by watching an actual polar bear. (I did not; it was inspired by this photo.)


In fact, he is something of a poor specimen of a polar bear, isn't he? But he was fun to paint, if a bit frustrating to position on two nails.


Water, ice floes, and bear are all acrylic paint. All painted on a base of two coats of White On so I had something opaque to work with.


POLAR BEAR IS GLARING AT YOU (don't take it personally, he's just kind of a grump):


On my thumb, I layered a whack of blue polishes, including Passport Blue, Jungfrau, 204 (a purplish flakie), and Pitaraq:


Polishes used:
Sally Hansen - White On
American Apparel - Passport Blue
Elevation Polish - Jungfrau, Pitaraq
Inglot - 204
Duri - Rejuvacote (base coat)
acrylic paints
tiny detail brush

I have received so many beautiful polishes over the last week, and no idea what to do with them. I'll try to think of something before the weekend, when I have my O for Outrageous prompt for my ABC Challenge and not the foggiest clue what to do about it. Will try to get something tasteful in before I take a leap into the great void of outrageousness!

xo,

J.
