Yabba Dabba OOOH!


Get ready to go bowling, break out your foot-powered car, and get your Dino on! Today is the 50th anniversary of the 1st episode of the Hanna-Barbera classic, 'The Flintstones'!!! Fun tidbit- for the longest time when I was a kid- I always thought that Hanna Barbera was a person, not the last names of two people. I eventually caught on though... Today's nail art is a tribute to the stone-age smile-inducers- the Flintstones (and the Rubbles). On my left hand, I have Fred, Wilma, and Pebbles Flintstone, with Dino on the ring finger, and a closeup of Fred's garb on the pinky. On the right hand, I painted The Great Gazoo on my thumb, then Barney, Betty, and Bamm-Bamm Rubble, with Bamm-Bamm's club on my pinky.




I used:

Left:

Thumb: Fred Flintstone

Orly Snowcone as a base, with American Apparel Summer Peach for his skin, then mixed with Color Club Best Dressed List for his stubble. For his tongue, I used a combination of American Apparel Palm Springs and Orly Pixy Stix, for his eyes, I used Sally Hansen Professional Lavender Cloud and for the hair and outlines, I used American Apparel Hassid.

Index: Wilma Flintstone

Orly Snowcone as a base, with American Apparel Summer Peach for her skin, as well as as a base for her hair. For her hair, I used CND Electric Orange. For her necklace and teeth, I used Sally Hansen Professional Lavender Cloud, China Glaze Salsa for her lips, then outlined everything in American Apparel Hassid.

Middle: Pebbles Flintstone

Orly Snowcone as a base, with American Apparel Summer Peach for her skin, as well as as a base for her hair. Like Wilma, I also used CND Electric Orange for Pebbles' hair. Sally Hansen Professional Lavender Cloud for her eyes and the bone in her hair. For her dress, I used Pure Ice Wild Thing, then outlined everything with American Apparel Hassid.

Ring: Dino

Orly Snowcone as a base, with Color Club Ms. Socialite for the purple, then mixed with American Apparel Palm Springs for his muzzle. I also used this combination in a different strength for his tongue. For his collar, I used Zoya Yummy, with Barielle Aura Angora for his 'dog' tag. I used Sally Hansen Professional Lavender Cloud for his eyes, and American Apparel Hassid to outline.

Pinky: Fred's 'suit'

CND Electric Orange as a base, with Zoya Yummy for his tie, with American Apparel Hassid to outline, and for the spots on the orange fabric.


Right Hand

Thumb: The Great Gazoo

Orly Snowcone as a base, with L.A. Girl Army Green for his face, CND Green Scene for his shirt and helmet, a mixture of CND Green Scene and
American Apparel Hassid for his collar, Sally Hansen Professional Lavender Cloud for his eyes, and American Apparel Hassid to outline everything.

Index: Barney Rubble

Orly Snowcone as a base, with MAC Abalone Shell for his skin, then mixed with Color Club Best Dressed List for his stubble, American Apparel Manila for his hair, OPI Ginger Bells for his 'suit', and American Apparel Hassid to outline everything.

Middle: Betty Rubble

Orly Snowcone as a base, with American Apparel Summer Peach for her skin, China Glaze Salsa for her lips, Sally Hansen Professional Lavender Cloud for her eyes, and American Apparel Hassid to outline, as well as for her necklace and hair.

Ring: Bamm-Bamm Rubble

Orly Snowcone as a base, with American Apparel Summer Peach for his skin, Sally Hansen Professional Lavender Cloud for his eyes and hair, CND Electric Orange with American Apparel Hassid to outline and for the spots on the hat.

Pinky: Bamm-Bamm's Club

Orly Snowcone as a base, with L.A. Girl Army Green for the club, outlined with American Apparel Hassid.

Topped everything off with 2 coats of Seche Vite top coat.

It's a living.

  14. Awesome! I love the Flintstones. ....although I feel like a kid who found out Santa is fake with the whole Hanna Barbera thing... I'm a 21 year old mom in college and still thought it was one person.

    Did Tessa not read the note about link whoring?

  15. ooh you know what whould be cool? If you had done fred's shirt upside down you could have touched your thump to your pinky to connect it with the face!

    Great job! (thats not sarcastic by the way:)

  16. Nice work..can you do a video on your step process on making your designs etc..

  17. Ok, I have to honest here for a second. I am absolutely floored at that fact that you can draw something so awesome on both hands. I have to know, are you ambidextrous? I've been getting into nail art more and more lately (I've even started a nail blog in general, but i didn't know if I could link to it here without looking ungrateful or that I was only commenting TO post the link), and I try to do stuff on my own nails, but its soooo hard to do anything on my right hand because I'm right handed and my left hand kind of turns into that guy from Scary Movie 2. So your work is amazing. And so detailed, too!

    Also, I know you showed what kind of brushes you use for your work, but I have to ask. What do you use to CLEAN your brushes with? I'm worried that the polish remover I have been using is eating my brushes. I'm interested to see what you've been using.

  18. Honestly, I envy that you can draw on both hands! I'm struggling to get my right hand look decent. Your work is amazing!

    ReplyDelete
  19. Holy Crap! You're amazing!
    Heart the Flinstones!!!
    woulda been so cool if you had put Fred's suit upside down on your pinkie so when you connect your thumb and pinkie his head fit on his suit. ;)

    either way

    if I could 'like' or thumbs up this, you'd get it :D

    Hey I have an idea! Whay don't you make cherries in every nail? I did it once, but I think you could make them a lot better!

    I hope to see my idea in your nails! :)
