Hello again! So, another day, another prompt - todays is one I was excited about straight away - Sci-Fi! I knew that it would be a Doctor Who mani, but I didn't narrow it down any further until it came time to actually paint it. In the end I decided to go with a galaxy mani, and dalek accent nail......
The dalek accent nail is actually based on a specific dalek,
Dalek Sec, of the Cult of Skaro. For those who don't already know, these were 4 daleks created by The Emperor, whose job it was to basically 'think outside the box'. To imagine, and explore new ways of killing, by thinking like the enemy - they even had individual names. Dalek Sec was also the first, and only Dalek to become an experimental human-dalek hybrid. (Ick, by the way, he was not a looker!)
I did cheat a little bit, and used a silver line under the eye-stalk, but you get the idea I hope! Anyway, back to the mani. I got a little lost in my own geekery there........
So, the black background is, yes, you guessed it - Sinful Colors - Black on Black. I sponged the galaxies on with a whole bunch of Kleancolor Metallics; Fuchsia, Aqua, Sapphire, Green and Pink, and the glitter is NYX - Spot Light. (near-dupe: Barry M - Diamond Glitter) I wanted them to be totally random, and I think I achieved that. I'm not sure if I went a bit overboard with sponging on the thumb though, what do you think?
I don't really know, one minute I like it, the next minute I don't! I do like how some of the colours have blended to make new colours though. :)
I really love how the index finger turned out though, and overall, this mani was a massive win for me. I have a Dalek, I have bright colours, and I have glitter. It doesn't get any better than that IMO! :D
Don't forget to check out the other mani's in the thumbnails below, I have a feeling today's will all be amazing!
That looks awesome! And the Dalek nail is just perfect :D
