Artsy Wednesday - Inspired by a Movie: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

Hi all :)

Another Artsy Wednesday post - and this time on an actual Wednesday :) We've coordinated in a way that we can post on the same time and it'll still be Wednesday in our part of the world! Isn't that great? :)

But something not as great.. My nails for today.. I HATE THEM! There.. I said it.. I did these monday night, because yesterday, Tueday, was an all-day work(study) day for me, so I wouldn't be able to do my nails there.. And I wasn't sure if I could make it today before the 'deadline' - plus I am doing laundry and such, we all know that's a bad combo..

From the beginning when I knew we should do movie-inspired nails, I thought I would do Charlie and the Chocolate Factory inspired nails.. But I thought about other movies too. But when it was suddenly Monday and I didn't have much time to do it I decided to stick with Charlie.. But I needed to simplify my idea.. And I thought this would be easy to do.. But NO! Somehow I ran out of time.. and.. bleh..

Well, to explain what I tried to do.. On my index and pinky I tried to do chocolat-swirls.. My middle finger-swirl is based off of all the red-and-white candy on my cover for the movie and from the movie.. And that thing on my ring finger? That was supposed to be Augustus Gloop's Golden Ticket which he took a bite off.. But I didn't have time to do any print on it or anything.. soo... yeah..

The base colors:

Gosh Chocaholic and Wet'N'Wild French White Creme - for the rest of the mani I used acrylic paint.

I wanted to take it off straight away! But I didn't have time, so I had to keep it on :/ And I still have some of it left :/ (The rest peeled off)

Just for fun I took a shot with my movie cover:

Baah! A big fat fail in my opinion.. But now I've tried it! haha..
