The Nail Challenge Collaborative Presents: Animals - Going to the Zoo to see Seals

Oh thank goodness, it's the last day of this animal theme and these decals! I had such a good idea, use a song from my childhood and create it in mani form. Who knew that this song would create nightmares! This here is a seal. Yep. That red thing? Oh it's a beach ball, can't you tell? Ya, me either, that's why I pointed it out. >_<

Hey, at least it sort of looks like a seal. Right? I mean, it's grey so that's something! :)

We're goin' to the zoo, zoo, zoo
How about you, you, you?
You can come too, too, too
We're goin' to the zoo, zoo, zoo

Well, the seals in the pool all honk-honk-honkin'
They're catchin' the fish and honk-honk-honkin'
The little tiny seals all honk-honk-honkin'
And we can stay all day

We're goin' to the zoo, zoo, zoo
How about you, you, you?
You can come too, too, too
We're goin' to the zoo, zoo, zoo

There are more versus to the song, but thankfully this theme is only four days long. Shucky darn. I know, I know, you all wanted me to continue with the demons animals. Don't worry, there's always all the other times when I attempt nail art to look forward too! Yay! I wonder if anyone is actually reading these four posts and realize just how much I've lost it. I think it's the polish fumes or maybe the monkey and the bear have really made me insane!

I used Layla Softouch Effects in 09 and 10 (10 is the sparkly one!). Wet N Wild Black Creme for the spider eyes dots and background of the beach ball with BarryM Blood Orange (appropriate) for the rest of the ball. Seal monster is part of those darn acrylic decals I made over a week ago.

This is the seal I had in mind when creating this mani:

The Nail Challenge Collaborative Presents: Animals - Going to the Zoo to See Bears?

Ah! For the love of all that's holy! When good ideas go horribly wrong! Bear with me now, bahahahahahaha! You see what I did there? I so punny! This ladies and gentlemen is a bear, I think. (I think it's stealing my soul with it's eyes!). I'm so glad I can take my self so seriously, because honestly this would be -wait for it- unbearably difficult if I couldn't! Badum-ching!

We're goin' to the zoo, zoo, zoo
How about you, you, you?
You can come too, too, too
We're goin' to the zoo, zoo, zoo

There's a big black bear, he's a huff-puff-a-puffin'
His coat's too heavy, he's a huff-puff-a-puffin'
Don't get too near the huff-puff-a-puffin'
Or you won't stay all day

We're goin' to the zoo, zoo, zoo
How about you, you, you?
You can come too, too, too
We're goin' to the zoo, zoo, zoo

Extreme freaky close up! Mumble mumble....frickety frack...what the dump...bleh. Bahahahahahahahahahaha! 

Seriously, I can't say anything about this. No words.Wow. Really. Wow. 

Well, the polish is a stunner! It's OPI DS Indulgence. I used it because it looked like fire! Bear, fire, get it? No, not that this bear should burn! Smokey the Bear - "Only you can prevent forest fires!". The "bear" is acrylic paints nail decal made over a week ago. *shakes head*

Only one more day of these nail decals! One. More. Day.

Please go check out real nail art for day 3!

The Nail Challenge Collaborative Presents: Animals - Going to the Zoo to See Monkeys!

Have you ever had a mani that you planned out (made decals for it a week before!) and when you did all but the decal you were in love with how it was, right then and there? Just like that? That's me with today's animal prompt for the Nail Challenge Collaborative.

We're goin' to the zoo, zoo, zoo
How about you, you, you?
You can come too, too, too
We're goin' to the zoo, zoo, zoo

See all the monkeys, they're scritch-scritch scratchin'
Jumpin' around and scritch-scritch scratchin'
Hangin' by the long-tail
And we can stay all day

We're goin' to the zoo, zoo, zoo
How about you, you, you?
You can come too, too, too
We're goin' to the zoo, zoo, zoo

So, this is Barielle Panama Pina Colada. Have you ever seen a more beautiful yellow? This is two coats of lovely-ness. I created my dots using Wet N Wild Black Creme and stamped using Konad Black and Cheeky CH42. 

Perfection, at least in my mind. 

But then I had to add the decal, had to right? I mean it's an animal prompt but there is not animal truly depicted with my mani.

Here's the freaky monkey!

Ahhh! He is sucking my will to live! (memo to self, memo to self: remember pupils when making decals!) He's to big and too...creepy...err...ogre...what the heck...yikes! Bahahahahahaha!

So here's the mani with the monkey. Now you see why I used the monkey-less mani to start with. Wasn't going to scare people away from my blog! :) Oh and I used acrylics to create the soul-less monkey.

The Nail Challenge Collaborative Presents: Animals - Going to the Zoo to See Elephants!

That's right, let's leave the NCC until the last four days of the month (or almost!). Who's bright idea was.....err, never mind, I slacked. >_<

Daddy's takin' us to the zoo tomorrow
Zoo tomorrow, zoo tomorrow
Daddy's takin' us to the zoo tomorrow
And we can stay all day

We're goin' to the zoo, zoo, zoo
How about you, you, you?
You can come too, too, too
We're goin' to the zoo, zoo, zoo

See the elephant with the long trunk swingin'
A great big ears and a long trunk swingin'
Snuffin' up peanuts with the long trunk swingin'
And we can stay all day

We're goin' to the zoo, zoo, zoo
How about you, you, you?
You can come too, too, too
We're goin' to the zoo, zoo, zoo

These are my elephants! I used OPI Sparrow Me the Drama as my base. I used China Glaze Elephant Walk (but of course, right?) for the dots.

I created my elephant decals.......last week! >_<

So here they are all fresh and drying. I used NYC In a New York Minute Top Coat with acrylic paints to create my elephants. I then sealed them with the same top coat. I knew I wasn't going to be using them that night (had no idea it was going to be a week later!) I decided to add HK Girl Top Coat to make them last longer. It helped, but I think it was the HK Girl that made them really stiff, so that they can't lay flat.

Stay turned for the rest of the NCC posts this week, and if you know the song, you'll know what's coming along! (yep, more stiff animal decals! Hahahahahaha!)
