Dr. Seussical
Wednesday, March 2, 2011
You'll never guess whose birthday it is today!! (Especially since Google sucks and didn't do a cool themed logo for it) You may already know, but this guy was the master of rhyme, silly illustrations, and odd characters that we all grew up with and still love. It's Dr. Seuss! Fun fact: Did you know that Seuss is actually supposed to be pronounced 'Soice'? Later in his career, he adopted the mispronunciation because it helped better relate his stories to that of Mother Goose, and because it was already widely pronounced the way we now know it as 'Soos'.
Anyway, as a kid, I was no different than the masses, and I, too loved Dr. Seuss. (Just ask my mom!) My favorite book was 'One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish', and even as a kid I knew it by heart! So today, on his birthday, (he'd be 107 years old today!) I decided to honor Dr. Seuss by doing 'One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish' nails!!
I used MAC Vestral White as a base, with American Apparel Manila for the yellow fish, China Glaze Hey Sailor! from the Anchors Away Collection for the Dr. Seuss logo, the fins on the yellow fish, and for the entire red fish. :) For the green fish, I used BB Couture Poison Ivy for the green fish, CND Anchor Blue for the blue fish, then used American Apparel Hassid to outline everything as well as shade the letters in the logo. Topped everything off with 2 coats of Seche Vite top coat
I do not like green eggs and ham, I do not like them, Sam I Am!

ReplyDeleteI know-late comment BUT awesome nails. The best so far. You just keep getting better and better. Maybe you should quit your day job and teach nail art. I know you here it every day but you are a talented artist. I heart you! You rock so hard. (Seriously, maybe you can make money by offering online classes)
ReplyDelete*thunk* Whoops, that was my jaw hitting the floor...I wish I had your talent!
ReplyDeleteSOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOD! Lady, you're the best.
ReplyDeleteThese are lovely!
ReplyDeleteAnd I know you probably get people offering your unwanted ideas all the time, but one of your previous manicures - black with highlighter colors on the tips - really reminded me of those old Lite Bright toys! And since you seem to like the 80s... well, it could work.

ReplyDeletethis is amazing, so cute!
ReplyDeleteThey are awesome!!
ReplyDeleteWOWEEEE! These are amazing. I love Dr. Suess so much, he was really fascinating. You should check out some of his artwork that did not end up in kids books, it will blow your mind. :)
ReplyDeleteLove it!
ReplyDeleteI was thinking about a crazy design for my nails, but this really blew my mind, I mean, I think you have not to exaggerate if all what you want is to call people attention.
