Digits Design Series: I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream For Halloween! Design #5-FRANKENFINGERS; They're ALIVE!

As I've been looking on the web for inspiration for Halloween I've seen so many manicures based on Frankenstein (check it out for yourself, you'll see). I've been very anti doing any been there done that type of manicures, so I've stayed away from ol' Frankie.

Until today.

Not only because I've been uninspired and not thought of any good new ideas on my own, but because I was watching tv and a commercial came on for a special showing of a double feature for Frankenstein and Frankenstein's Bride coming to my area movie theater. 

Yahoo!

I haven't seen either of those movies in years, and suddenly I felt inspired. So, here they are my FRANKENFINGERS:


Right hand, which I always do too, BTW...
I used Funky Fingers "Ectoplasmic" (at least I think that's the name, some polish got on the end of the "asmic"), Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear "Black Out", LA Colors Art Deco in Silver, Claire's "Galaxy" (side note: major shrinkage with Galaxy which fortunately wasn't an issue with this design since I put it over black polish), the black nail art polish I got from 5 Below to fill in Frankie's hair and do his stitches, and Mash plate #38. 

They're a little stylized, which I love. I showed my nails to my kids when I was done (which I always do, to the point that now they ask "what are you going to do next?" after I've worn the same manicure for more than a day...oy!) and my oldest son says "Looks like it represents his creation too and all the electricity and stuff." and I was all "You get me! You really get me!". Ha ha :)

I'm really happy with them and will be wearing the heck out of them this week (until they start to chip, or course!).
