Arrr!!! It Be Talk Like a Pirate Day!

Happy talk like a pirate day, me gentle readers. Arrr!

In celebration of this most special day, I have done a little nail-y art. Now, I be warnin' ya, mateys, this is not high art. My painting skills aren't any skills, at all and I didn't have pirate-y stamping plates so... I used stickers and a palm tree stamping image and my imagination to create pirate-esque nails.  Arrr!

 Here's the stuff I used. The stamping plate is BM-70. 

 Base colours. Plus top coat.

 All of my "art". The skulls are Hallowe'en stickers. The black blobs on my thumbs are supposed to be eye patches. lol

A close up of the rest of my nails. I like my ring finger, best. I am proud of how it turned out. I didn't think that I could do it. :D The sparkles on the sand is the pirate's treasure, scattered all over. I don't know how to paint a treasure chest... Arrr! 

Okay, so there you have it. My lame attempt at pirate nail art. It aint fancy, but it was fun to do. :D

If anyone wants a how to on my palm tree on an island nail, give me a shout out in comments and I'll do a post. Trust me, it's super easy. If I can do it, it has to be! lol 

Thank you for sailing in. Have a fabulous Pirate Day and may yer polish not be bubbling. Arrr! 

Ugh! Skunk! Gag! Why do they spray around here? 

Arrr!
