Here is the final theme, before recreating my favorite manicure (tomorrow), It's SANTA!well... not exactly santa.... more like my favorite impostor, JACK SKELLINGTON dressing up as SANTA.
I drew my inspiration from an illustration by Tim Burton (my favorite!)
I liked the patterning in the outfit and the gangly body posture that is very much Jack and wanted to capture those aspects per nail. I call them my night before christmas EVE nails. :)
For the base color I used 3 coats of Sally Hansen - shell we dance? (#160) and 1 coat of Sinful Colors - out of this world (#842).
Jack Skellington was done using Nail Star - white (#108), O.P.I. - designer... de better for shading on the face, Nail Star - red and black acrylic paint.
Finished it off with 1 coat of Seche VITE - quick dry top coat. For some reason this read is not as vibrant in this picture when uploaded, disappointing.
From thumb to pinky the images go as such. thumb - bottom part of beard, index - hat, middle - head/top part of beard, ring - neck/body/shoulder, pinky - arm.
