One Fish Two Fish

... Red Fish, Blue Fish! Dr. Seuss would have turned 109 years old this coming Sunday, March 2nd. He was a brilliant artist and children's author. His impact is evident around the world. Many of us learned to read with the help of Dr. Seuss. He is so inspiring to me personally as an artist, I really can't put it into words. Here are my nails celebrating one of my heroes:

One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish

I started with a base of Lime Crime Once In A Blue Mousse, then applied acrylic craft paint in red, white, blue and black. 

After I added the rad body and white eyeball, I completed the details using black paint. This was not easy!! The lines are so tiny, but I am really happy with how the red fish turned out.

Next I added the blue fish. This little guy is very Seuss-ian, in that he doesn't look like any real fish, but has sort of a fishy quality. 

Finally I added some little white bubble on my pinkie fingernail and topped everything with Seche Vite. Side note: one of my German professors in college was named Dr. Suess. Ha ha!!

Green Eggs and Ham

In honor of Dr. Seuss' 108th birthday last week, here are my Green Eggs and Ham nails!

Sorry, I did not take any pics during the painting of this mani, just the finished product. But that ham sure does look tasty, huh? :)

And on my right hand: green eggs. This was the easier image to paint, so I did it with my non dominant hand. 

Here is the base color I used in this mani: OPI Tasmanian Devil Made Me Do It. I've been a little bit busy behind the scenes at Sonoma Nail Art, so sorry for my absence. My mom is in town from Seattle this weekend so I will probably not have any more posts for you this week. I'll jump back on the wagon soon. :)

Have a great day!
