The Digit-al Dozen Does Metals: Day 3 - Steampunk

Nothing to Disclose

♥

The Digit-al Dozen
Does METALS



I'm not 100% sure of what I ended up with, but it started with "steampunk" in my head and also the time-turner/clock tower scene in Harry Potter. So I sort of got a mix of the two? When I'm doing my nails, I usually put in something I've seen to watch on TV - so I have something to listen to without feeling like I will miss something - without stopping and watching and forgetting what I'm trying to do. Which still happens now and then. So I usually have in Top Gear on Netflix. Or Midsomer Murders. Or a Harry Potter DVD. I'm pretty sure The Prisoner of Azkaban was on while I was doing this one.

If we ever do a theme that Jeremy Clarkson fits into - or even Detective Chief Inspector Tom Barnaby -  I'm pretty sure I'll kick that theme's butt! I'm also pretty sure those shows are more popular here in the US than in the UK. I'm probably letting my DERP show.




I used a base of Pure Ice Black Velour except on the ring and thumb where I used a random gold polish I can't remember at the moment - and trying to find it on my desk after I've slept, or walked off with it, is futile. For the designs I used acrylic paint and two sizes of striper brushes.




Did I mention I struggled with this theme? But I've done worse. And as usual, I ended up having fun with it!

Two more to go!

    I dunno, Top Gear's pretty popular over here too. Despite the fact that Jeremy Clarkson is an utter twonk who doesn't know when to keep his mouth shut.

    This is great. Would love to see a mani inspired by the music from Midsomer Murder.
