I have to laugh at myself regarding today's post. It was decided that those who were doing Jackson Pollock inspired mani's would post today. So I did a bunch of googling last night for inspiration and found a pix that I thought I could come up with. When I googled Pollock paintings this morning to post and credit the pix, the pix I was basing my mani couldn't be found, but with a little bit more surfing, I found it, only to discover that in fact the painting I was using wasn't a Jackson Pollock original, but a Jackson Pollock 'inspired' painting. *head thumb* Too late to change it, so here's my Jackson Pollock inspired mani based on a 'Jackson Pollock inspired' painting.
Started with a base of two coats of OPI Bride's Bouquet, topped with SV (no pix as have shown many times before). Then to do the quasi flinging of paints Pollock style (I knew I'd never be able to tolerate the mess), used a stamp to do something similar! Stamped using Konad red special polish using MJ II.
Did a second layer of red stamping.
Another layer, using Konad orange stamping polish; repeated a second time.
Added a hot dog to thumb using black Konad special polish using MJ VIII.
Added a layer of lines with Konad yellow special polish; repeated a second time.
Finally, after stamping 31 times in total, did some clean up.
Topped with SV (before doing it, I hand filled in a couple lines on the hot dog where it looked like there was a white dog on it as seen in the first pix ...I have no idea how it escaped getting a few lines but it was sticking out like a sore thumb and I couldn't stand the look of it!)
Painting/image credit given to Kyle Dreir.
Here's the mani's from the other ladies....I'm sure they know the difference between a Jackson Pollock original!
So what do you think....was I close....even though it's Pollock inspired and not an original?
Thanks for looking!
