LGTBQ Pride Mani!

The Chicago Pride Parade is happening today! Unfortunately my plans to attend didn't work out, but I'm still sporting my pride mani! Incidentally, it happens to be painted on Kiss fake nails! In a rash moment of mind-numbing stupidity I hacked my nails off to go indoor rock climbing, and I'm REALLY regretting it because I loved the length and shape they were before my brain  fell out and I cut them down to nubbins. To ease my pain until they grow back I put on some Kiss fake nails.

 My plain falsies! They looked really nice, but a regular old french mani gets old fast.

First I present the inspiration for my mani. The lovely Cristina from Let Them Have Polish! granted me permission to use her photo in this post. I just loved this mani, well, I love all of her mani's. She does awesome nail art. All of the polishes she used were from Bettina, which is not available around me, so I selected similar colors from my collection.

I had so much fun painting this! Despite how aggravating it was waiting for the layers to dry. This is the right hand so it is a little rough. But what would a Gay Pride mani be without a little...

Fairy Dust! :D

Now this is the first time I have ever had a shrinkage problem with Seche Vite. Perhaps I did a poor job in wrapping the falsies. :-( I love it anyways. The green finger looks a little awkward, Four Leaf Clover doesn't quite fit in with the other two. Ah well. I've seen some awesome LGTBQ theme mani's this month so this was my whack at it :-)

The gang agreed to pose for a group shot. Say Cheese!
