This Map Be Such Crap, My Loot Will Be Moot

Avast, Fireflies!

Did ye landlubbers be thinking of stealin' me booty?  Well, ye'd have t' find it first! See if ye ken follow me crappy mappy.

I started with China Glaze Don't Honk Your Thorn, a pretty nude with the slightest shimmer/frost.

To give my 'sand' some texture, I did a dry brush technique to get the tiniest amount of Joss Desert Sunset on the nail. It has a little bit of glimmer, just like real sand! I'm feeling pretty clever at this point.

I use Wet 'n Wild Black Creme and BM 510, from their new Ocean plates to get the tiny treasure map (though it doesn't all fit on my finger!) and then Cici & Sisi 09 to get the wandering dotted path and a few GIANT footprints.  Seriously. Not To Scale.

Try following that path to the treasure!

X marks all kinds of spots.  Probably where my dogs hid their toys, really.

Bottle shot:  China Glaze Don't Honk Your Thorn, Joss Desert Sunset, Wet 'n Wild Black Creme, and a black striper.

Have you ever followed a 'treasure map'?  If this is how I make one, you can only imagine how I'd follow one...

Booty Call

Ahoy, Fireflies!

Today, I'll be allowin' ye to see a bit of my booty - my Pirate Booty, that is!

I started with Cirque Chainmail, a glittery silver that actually photographed flatter than it really is.  It's not super-sparkly, but it does have some sparkle to it.

This Cheeky 49 plate was made for this challenge! Lots o' pirate stamps.  I chose the little treasure chest, and stamped with Maybelline Bold Gold.

I sponged on some Wet 'n Wild Black Creme to make it easier to see the gold, stamped the chests, and then added the glitter over some topcoat.

Don'tcha be tryin' to steal my Pirate gold, now! It's fool's gold, anyhow.

Bottle shot: Cirque Chainmail, Maybelline Bold Gold, and Wet 'n Wild Black Creme.

What would you like to find in a treasure chest?
