I am going to be honest up front. I have never seen Jaws all the way through. Crazy, I know. I have seen parts here and there, but to be quite frank....I'm scared. Giant man eating shark. Enough said. But I wanted to so something fun and a little bit dark so I chose to be inspired by this movie anyway. I also have fallen waaaay behind on my 52 week challenge (I figure I have done a manicure every single day, the nail gods will forgive me) and yesterdays theme for that was Under the Sea. Voila, I combined the two and you get Jaws nails. I really am loving these 'inspired by' themes as I get to do fun free hand nail art. It is really helping me get better and learn techniques to a steady hand. I still suck at free hand on my right hand, but I'll get there.
For these nails, I used NYC Cashmere Creme for my ocean/sky base. I then used Orly Grave Mistake to draw in the letters and the dripping blood. This is a PERFECT color for blood. I can't wait to use it for all of my halloween manis in October! The thumb is Wet n Wild Caribbean Frost. Jaws himself is NYC Sidewalk and I used It's So Easy black and white stripers to do the details. For my swimmer, I first used the white striper and then went over it in Sally Hansen Sorbet to give them a more natural skin color. On my right hand I got lazy and decided to stamp a shark on my thumb. I used Sally Hansen Silver Sweep with plate m27.

Do you have a favorite ocean themed movie? Since Jaws is not my favorite I would have to say that U-571 is the best ocean movie....plus it's a WWII movie. Double score.
Come back tomorrow for a book themed mani that I haven't decided on yet. :-P It will probably have trees though!
Thanks for stopping by, and go check out the other lovely ladies who are participating
