Check the sidebar for link to challenge information.

I took part in the first prompt so it is fitting I took part in the last! I kept up with everyone’s looks but did not participate myself. This challenge was exceptionally hard and every week I told myself I would attempt it. Before I knew it we were at the following week, fast forward to the end of the challenge and here we are!

This week’s Wikipedia article is “horror icon” (linked here). There are so many horror icons to choose from but in  the end I decided on Dracula. In high school, I wrote a whole term paper on the book and thought it was the most fascinating story I had ever read. It also doesn’t hurt that I wanted to try the drip art technique!

…I kind  of wish I hadn’t top coated the paint, it looked so much more like blood before! Ah well, I still like it :)…hope you do too!

Check sidebar for more information on both challenges.

Today’s look works for OMD3 and Wiki’d It! I’ve dropped the ball on the Wiki Challenge. It is intense and sometimes I did not feel particularly inspired. However, this week’s page was about King Midas! I thought the lightning bolts would be a fun touch since Midas is portrayed as a supernatural legend.

I like this look. Black and gold go well together and there is only one design. I do not know if my simple designs phase is driven by my recent flares but I am not complaining because I am really digging them!

I hope you do too!

A new Facebook challenge started this week! It is part of the same group who participated in the A2Z Series. A2Z is over so we are diving into WIKIPEDIA! I am super excited for this challenge. I love the Random page Wikipedia game so I am completely onboard with a challenge based around it! This week’s prompt is tattoos…

 

Many moons ago, let’s say, 12-13 years, my father brought back some temporary water tattoos from India. Many were the typical Indian designs and very authentic. I never had an occasion to wear them but they were too pretty to throw away so they stayed in a dark drawer..until yesterday!

Temporary tattoos are hot at the moment; especially on the bohemian festival circuit. When I saw this week’s prompt my mind jumped to these old decals! Why not use them in nail art??

I am pretty pleased with how these came out! The tattoos applied much better than I anticipated. There were some bald spots  but they were barely noticeable because of the metallic sheen.

I hope you like it!

 

Indian Water Decals Nail Art | The Rite of AgingI used Essie Mademoiselle and top coat as my base and waited for them to dry completely.

I applied different parts of the decal to my nails by placing the sheet face down and holding it in place with a water-soaked cotton ball.
