Crumpets Nail Tarts: Geeks

This week's theme was actually pretty easy for me to figure a design for, because there are two things I geek-out about: Doctor Who, and The Little Mermaid (anything mermaid, really :D )

I knew exactly what I wanted to do to combine the two, and it's based off this amazing t-shirt I *really* need to buy someday from Teefury:

Before I show you my nails, I need to tell you - they're nubs :(  Earlier in the week, my cat decided to wake me up 40 minutes before my alarm by meowling at the bedroom door, because she wanted out.  My husband was already up with the kids, so I rolled my 7 month pregnant butt out of bed to let her out.  What does she do?  She darts into the bathroom as soon as I stand up - so I chase her to the bathroom, where she decides to then dart through my legs, tripping me and causing me to fall, landing in such a way that my pointer finger completely broke off down to the skin.  

Damn cat.

So I had to cut them all down.  And I had to figure out this design around short nails.  I didn't let myself get angry though.  I adopted a very passive attitude towards the whole ordeal after realizing plenty of women wear nubs fantastically, and I could very well be one of them.

So, without further ado, here are my nails:

Yes, that *is* the ninth Doctor's sonic ;)

I wish the hand peeking out from the Tardis had shown up better from a front-looking stance.  The Tardis ended up a bit bigger on my nail than I anticipated, but even without fully seeing it, the image still makes sense :)  I'm pretty happy with how it turned out - only took me about 2 hours to complete (I was half distracted binge-watching Bones on Netflix).  

I hope you enjoy the design!!  Be sure to check out the other absolutely fantastic Geek-themed designs through the inlinkz below!!

Oh, and here's one more Geek meme for you, because it made me LOL pretty hard :D

Abstract Ariel

***Press Sample***

I got new hair yesterday - I got MERMAID HAIR!!

I have wanted to put blues/teals/greens in my hair for a very long time, but have only recently been able to, mostly because I have the luxury of a workplace that gives no poops about hair color ;)  Ah the beauties of being a Stay-At-Home mom :D  Anywho, I call it my mermaid hair because it's just full of those beautiful blues and teals of the ocean - and inside, I am a mermaid.  There's ocean in my veins, I would live there if I could <3

In celebration of my miraculous mermaid locks, I decided to use my amazing Ariel abstract silhouette water decals sent to me by Green Goddess Creations!  Here's my mani;

Of course I posed with a Dinglehopper!! :D

I bought my first-ever water slide decals from Green Goddess Creations a few months back, and had such a great experience using them!  They're super simple, and her instructions are quite detailed.  I was able to do this mani in under 10 minutes - what?!  Crazy!  

If you'd like to purchase these, you can do so here, or you can browse her 167 products here!  Her prices are ridiculously reasonable for the amount of decals you get and the quality.  I have yet to have a negative experience with the decals and the brand.

What do you think of this design?  Have you tried this brand's water decals before?  I'd love to hear your experience with water decals in general :)
