Polish Days: 7 Deadly Sins

I've been part of the Polish Days group for a few months now, but this is actually the first time I've ever participated.  Those who know me well will know that this mani was bound to happen eventually.  When the monthly email with the Polish Days theme came around, I knew I had found the right time.

The theme this month is the 7 Deadly SinsLust, Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, Wrath, Envy, and Pride.  What did I do, you ask? 


Sloth. Well, sloths.  Yes, I drew sloths on my nails.  I freaking LOVE sloths.  They're so awesome.  Since this post is extremely picture (and gif) heavy, I'll put the rest after the jump.  And trust me, you're going to want to take a look. 


Go watch this video.  And then this one.  And lastly, this one.  Now you're mostly caught up.  


For my sloth mani, I used a base of LaCC 1964, and added all of the freehand stuff with acrylic paints.  They're a little iffy, but they looked darn adroable (and the one on the right - sufficiently creepy) from arm's length.  


MORE SLOTH GIFS!!


Same deal with my thumb, where I chose to proclaim my love for these hibiscus-eating cuties. 



By now you probably think I'm way past strange, and right you are!!  I just can't handle it; they're way too awesome!!  Seriously, I'm like Kristen-Bell-sloth-meltdown.  And so, I leave you with this:

  17. This is amawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwzing. It beats every other animal manicure I've ever seen (way cuter than a bird or whatever), as well as being one of the few "Sloth" manis I've seen; everyone else seems to have gone for Gluttony or Avarice.

  33. Oh he's ADORABLE! I actually considered doing this myself, but decided that my skills wouldn't do the cuteness of a sloth justice. You did nearly exactly what my brain was thinking! So yay!!
