National Static Electricity Day

January 9th is National Static Electricity Day. Who knew?! So to celebrate and to spread awareness (or whatever you are supposed to do about this 'holiday') I created static electricity nail art!

Zzzzap!

I started with a base of OPI The One That Got Away, from the Katy Perry collection. It is actually a bit more wine/raspberry colored than this photo shows. It is really gorgeous! This is two coats.

Then using acrylic paints, I drew this little dude with his (her?) hair standing on end. 

I used layers of purple and white acrylic paint to create zaps of static electricity radiating out from the little dude. I started with the darker colors and worked my way towards white. Added a topcoat (Seche Vite) and done! Now I really wanna put on some wool socks, scoot around on the carpet, and find my next victim... moo hoo ha ha ha!
