The index finger represents the dragon skin/scales, the index finger is clearly his eye. Thank you to Mr Kitties26 for his suggestion to make the dragons eye green, it looked so amazing!! The ring finger is the fire that the dragon breaths, and the pinky is an abstract part of the dragons wing.
The ring finger is painted with Layla Mercury Twilight, and the other fingers are painted with Layla Ultra Violet. Apologies for the tip wear, these were taken at the end of day two. I suddenly had a gap in the clouds and snapped some sun shots, rather than the photos under the bathroom light.
I love this up close of the dragon eye. The gradient of the yellow and green, with the holo behind it was so cool.
Finally, here is the image used on my thumb. I had to take a photo in the shade, because the sun photo was just too holo to be able to see the actual image on my nail.
Sorry about the lack of chit chat ladies, I'm so unbelievably busy at work at the moment, I just can't empty my brain of work stuff to insert nail stuff into it. Damn stupid brain - work faster or something. I wish I could just backup my brain to an external hard drive, and then reload it ready for work the next morning!
That is fabulicious! It's like you've tattooed your nails.
ReplyDeleteWowwww, this is freakin' awesome
ReplyDeleteThe eye is brilliant, you are a very talented lady, thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThat eye is awesome! I'd love to wear a mani with the pair of eyes staring at you like that and the scales on either side. Even a different colored dragon and eyes - oh the mind boggles!! Can you guess I love dragons!! :)
ReplyDeleteEither way you have shared some truly imaginative work. Thank you
LOL at your external hard drive brain!
That is seriously really cool!!
ReplyDeleteDo you happen to have the Ebay link of the company selling this paper? Their website says they only ship to the UK, N Ireland and the Channel Islands... :(
DeleteThis is the seller I purchased from, although they only ship to Australia. I'm sure there must be one somewhere that ships internationally. Just sear "temporary tattoo paper".
DeleteI love it!
ReplyDeleteThis is simply stunning.
ReplyDeleteThat eye looks absolutely amazing! I never would have thought you could create something like that, I want to try it! 100% brilliant, I love it!! xx
ReplyDeleteIt's fabulous Cathy!
ReplyDeleteI love dragons, and this is simply amazing! I'm especially loving that dragon's eye! WOW!
ReplyDeleteOh this turned out great! Love the eye, I'd probably them on 2 nails, it would look awesome.

ReplyDeleteThat eye is simply incredible!
ReplyDeleteMust do!!!
ReplyDeleteThat eye steals the show!
ReplyDeleteThis look is AMAZING. Just love it!!
ReplyDeleteCan you do this look with just any regular temporary tattoo? or do u have to print it urself? i am without a color printer :/
Yes, you can definitely use a regular temporary tattoo, in fact that is exactly where I started.
DeleteThis is probably the best nail art I have ever seen.
ReplyDeleteSo imaginative!
Holy wow! This is totally amazing!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely the best nails I have seen on the web! Here via Pintrest and love the idea of tattooing your nails. I am sure you know that a coat of clear polish on top will extend the wear of you polish past two days, but did you know that if you put your top coat on the underside of your nails as well (yes, against your fingertip)it helps it last that much longer? I did all the nail stuff in the '80's (yeah, I'm old) and am so impressed by how far nail art has come since then. The eye is my favourite! Now to find a source that ships to Canada.
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing! Did you use a different holo nailpolish for the eye, or is that just how it came out from the ultra violet with the temp. tattoo on top? Simply stunning! Reminds me a bit of Sleeping Beauty :)
