The Polished Bookworms: July 2015
Gift / Purchased By Me / Giveaway Prize*
Hi guys! I can't believe it's already time for another TPB mani. Anyway, July's read was Along Came A Spider by James Patterson. It was a pretty long book, I felt like I'd never finish it in time. Lol! But I did, and I felt so accomplished. It was a good read, and it has a twist which I suspected since I've seen a bit of the movie. Actually my dad was watching it, and I happened to see a piece of it, haha. But yeah, I won't say what happens so I won't spoil it for anyone.
I had no idea what I was going to do for my mani. I thought about the many events in the story, but did not know how to depict them. So, I decided I was just going to do the cover art. I did the gradient from the cover, and changed my mind about adding the house and spider from the cover. Instead, I got out some spider temporary tattoos and went with that. I added spiders and spiderwebs over the gradient, and it came out ok. I had some difficulty with the temporary tattoos this time around for some reason, so some of the spiders' legs didn't transfer on right. To correct that, I went in with my brush and some black acrylic paint. To finish the mani I used a matte top coat, I thought it'd look much better that way.
