Let's talk about the mani first, then I'll explain what it is, and how it relates to the prompt near the end. This was a really simple design to do, I literally just painted my nails white, and doodled on them with some neon sharpies. The spirals were supposed to be a bit jagged, but typically, they got kind of neat near the end.
I would also like to apologise for the awful state of my cuticles here, I'm not sure what made them so dry this day, bluergh!
As you can imagine, this was a really cheerful mani to have on my nails, but it did leave me longing for some sunshine, which is not going to happen. The colours remind me of ice lollies.
Now, on to what it actually is :D This mani was inspired by a fabulously odd little show called The Mighty Boosh. If you've never heard of/seen it, then believe me, it is completely random, and very surreal indeed. I was inspired by the awesome top hat that the new rave hitcher wears in this song from the show. I didn't copy the design exactly, just took some general inspiration from it, partly down to the fact that I couldn't find a decent picture of it, but that's okay.
I love this show so much, it always gives me a good laugh, so if you like things that are awesome, I am advising you to check it out ;)
I love the bright colours! I found the surrealism one a bit tough. Also, I've also nominated you for a Liebster award! My post is at clairewiththecamera.tumblr.com
ReplyDeleteThanks Claire! I was struggling for ages, then suddenly I had 2 ideas lol. Thanks for the nomination, I've racked up a few of these now, so I'll try and do the questions bit of it when the challenge is finished, but hope you don't mind if I don't nominate anyone else :) xx
DeleteAh, sorry, I didn't realise! Of course I don't mind! Looking forward to seeing your take on 'abstract' for tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteaww thanks hun, tomorrows mani was a lot of fun to do! and don't worry, you couldn't have known anyway. I didn't put the badge in my sidebar as I've been trying not to clutter my blog with anything I don't need :D xx
DeleteHow strange, odd & peculiar...ME LOVEY! Of course I'm going to be hearing that song in my head for days now. LOL

DeleteYay :D I like the 2nd & 3rd season best, they're not set in the zoo after season 1, so they get to go out and play in the world :D xx
