Blargh! Day two of the job search is going well enough. Day one of blogging on the laptop... not so much. I have Photoshop on my desktop, but not on my desperately old and slow laptop, so I've been attempting to make due with GIMP and outdoor lighting, but these things are not my favorite. If you missed my last post here's the short version: I quit my job, packed up the car and drove for 10 hours to Oregon where I'm hoping to relocate. I'm sorry if things are a bit messy here on the blog until I can get back to my normal setup or at least find something a little less infuriating than GIMP.
Soooo...enough about me. What's going on with these nails?? It's book club time again! June's book for The Polished Bookworms is The Giver by Lois Lowry. I've used three polishes from The Giver collection that China Glaze put out around the time of the movie release. In the book the world everyone lives in is monochromatic and the first color Jonas sees is red. I made a splotchy grey background and added big swipes of red to represent how the color kind of breaks into his life.
The red polish is appropriately named Seeing Red. My base color is a pale grey called Five Rules and the darker color which I stippled on with a mostly dry brush is Intelligence, Integrity & Courage.
I only had enough patience to edit two photos. Sorry! If you have any recommendations for free photo editing programs that are good let me know!
In the meantime, let's see what the other ladies painted for The Giver.
