NAILS Magazine 31DC Day 10 - Favourite Movie

Hello everyone! I'm under doctor's orders not to paint nails for a few days so don't tell anyone I'm here - shhhhh! ;) I woke up yesterday with pins and needles in my arms and legs and feeling very dizzy, having only had a sore neck the night before. After a conversation with the doctor, it sounds like my appalling nail painting posture had put pressure on my spinal cord and was causing all these other symptoms. It was a bit scary at the time, but today all those symptoms have subsided and I'm just left in a world of pain. Lesson of the day - watch your posture! 

The theme for today is "Favourite Movie". To regular readers, it'll come as no surprise that it'll be a Tim Burton related mani. I can't really choose between his films, but I've chosen to go with  a design based on some of the "Corpse Bride" posters.

I started by painting two coats of Ciate Vintage, then added the branches using LA Colors Black Velvet. Once dry, I added a combination of LA Colors Atomic and Sea Foam, Color Club Sheer Disguise and Barry M Gelly Paints Greenberry over the black with a fine striping brush, tidied up the edges with the black and finished with Seche Vite.

Here's one of the posters:

Tomorrow things will brighten up a bit as the theme is Neon - I haven't had a chance to play with my neons this year yet so I'm looking forward to coming up with something zingy and bright! But still don't tell my doctor. Or my husband ;)
