Something about man in a cape with a skintight suit really gets me going! What can I say I love comic books particularly of the Marvel genre. I've been dying to do some nails for the latest Captain America which I have already seen and Spiderman which I haven't. Alas this challenge is eating up all my free mani time. In any case I was pumped for the day 9 challenge. The theme was Superhero which allowed me to finally break out my Comic Collection plates and play.
Mani-louge
Basecoat/Topcoat: CND Stickey and Poshe Fast Drying Top Coat
Base colors: Wet N' Wild French Creme and Orly Satin Majestic Satin topped with IMN Northern Lights
Stamping polishes: Mundo de Unas #30, Konad Special Polish in Red, China Glaze Millennium
Stamping plates: MoYou London Comic Collection 03 & 05
I knew in advance I wanted to capture a panel per nail. Maybe a crime scene or a call for help or a spectacular fight. You may recall several months ago when I attempted something similar with my World of Wars mani that I used to enter a prior MoYou contest. I felt very frustrated then because the mani took me an incredibly long time to put together and I kept changing things until I felt I got it just right. This time I knew I was going to have the scenes play out in red, yellow, blues and whites with a strong reliance on the decal method.
I really love how these turned out, but what do you think? One thing the scenic plates make me wish for is larger nails. Lol it's so hard to cut the scenes down. I had to do the same thing with the Birth of Venus mani to fit it on my nails and I consider myself to have pretty long and wide nail beds. In any event I felt like the superhero challenge was relatively smooth sailing. Thanks for reading and see you next post!
