The Scream

When I got the suggestion to do the Van Gogh nails, I thought that it may also be fun to do Edvard Munch's "The Scream". In retrospect, I think the entire painting should've been on all the nails - not just the right thumb - but it's acceptable as is. So right thumb is a mini-nail-reproduction of the painting. On the remainder of the right nails are just the face and partial body of The Scream with the blues and greys of the water. On the left hand are 3 increasingly close faces. The original had a bit of yellow but when I tried to add it with nail polish I don't think it came off so well. On the thumb is "Munch" and on the index finger is "The Scream". It reminds me of an old horror movie poster. The shape the text is on was meant to mimic the torso of The Scream.

Liverpool FC - Yet another incarnation

At the end of August I did a new set of Liverpool FC nails. Originally, the plan was to have the red background and mini portraits of the starting lineup (for the Bolton game) done in white. It would have not included Reina since I lack an extra finger for the entire 11 men. I hit a snag, 3 times, in the attempt to do Enrique. Because of his facial stubble he kept turning out looking like Santa Claus. In a fit of frustration, all the portraits that were completed to that point were removed (there were only 3 others) and a very simple design with the outline of the LFC crest and the squad numbers was included. On the bottom was a banner with TIA (This is Anfield). So, on the right hand: Suarez (7), Kuyt (18), Downing (19), Adam(26), Leiva (21). On the left: Reina (25), Kelly (34), Carragher(23), Henderson (14), Agger (5). In this set, Enrique didn't get make cut.

My toes were done as well this round. The grey nailpolish was already on the coffee table so I just used that but added hearts on the big toes for... interest?
