Day 85
Hahaa, just a different sort of viral than some of the other designs... ;)
I did my nails with these designs today for two reasons....#1. I'm sick. lol #2, My sister, Stacey, works in the lab at St. Mary's Hospital as a Med Tech, and she's gotten a bunch of her fellow co-workers there interested in the blog, and I thought they might get a kick out of these designs... :-P From Thumb to pinky, the viruses are (or cause) : Sore Throat, Common Cold, Flu, Swine Flu, and The Plague. :-) (based off the images from the awesome Giant Plush Microbes)
UPDATE: So I was informed by my sister that I misspoke, and infact, the pinky and thumb are bacteria, not viruses. The thumb is the bacteria Streptococcus Pyogenes, and the pinky is Yersinia pestis
I used:
Thumb: Sore Throat
Zoya Ravenas a base with Zoya Dakota, China Glaze Salsa, Zoya Stephanie, and a bit of mixing with Stephanie and Salsa, applied with a dotting tool to make the virus.
Index: Common Cold
Zoya Raven as a base, with Zoya Yummy to paint the viruses, and mixed with Diamond Cosmetics Giddy for highlight, and BB Couture Opposites Attract to shade.
Middle: Flu
Illamasqua Rampage as a base, with LA Girl polish in Army Girl for the viruses, and mixed with American Apparel Cotton for lighter green, and then Zoya Envy lightly sponged on top for texture and spots.
Ring: Swine Flu
American Apparel Cotton as a base, with BB Couture Opposites Attract
sponged on top for the grey splotchy texture, then the viruses are painted with China Glaze White on White as a base, then covered with Zoya Stephanie, and shaded with a mixture of Zoya Stephanie, Zoya Dakota, and BB Couture Opposites Attract, and the dark red is a mixture of Zoya Dakota and BB Couture Opposites Attract. The outline is Zoya Raven.
Pinky: The Plague
Diamond Cosmetics Giddy as a base, with Orly Mirror, Mirror for the virus, and outlined with BB Couture Opposites Attract. BB Couture Opposites Attract was also lightly sponged over to simulate the gunk around the virus. lol (so technical, right?)
I topped everything off with 2 liberal coats of Seche Vite top coat. :)
Steer clear of these bad boys and you should stay healthy this season!! :-P
