#EverySimpsonsEver Simpsons Nail Art Tribute

Oh hello there. Have you been holed up watching the Every Simpsons Ever marathon that has been going on for 12 straight days (552 episodes!) and ends tonight? While I obviously haven't watched them all, when the television has been on, it's been The Simpsons. I figured I couldn't let such an epic marathon end without a nail art tribute.

I actually hurt my right hand thumb, so doing this art was a lot more difficult than I thought. Since The Simpsons is a cartoon, black outlining was a must, and it was a struggle having my thumb all bandaged up. But, I must say, my characters are recognizable!

I started with a base of three coats of OPI I Just Can't Cope-acabana. I used all nail polish for the art and no acrylic paints. I like to test myself by keeping my art in one medium. Yes nail polish dries faster than paint but the challenge is better. To get Marge's hair, I mixed Nails Inc. Baker Street with OPI My Boyfriend Scales Wall.

I did the Simpsons family from thumb to pinky: Homer, Lisa, Marge, Bart, and little Maggie.

I'm really happy with how these turned out! And if you're curious, to get the large white dots for eyeballs, I used a pencil eraser! Enjoy the rest of the marathon!
