ABC Challenge - "V" is for Venus In The Sky

Hello all!  We are here for the letter V, so here we go.

First, let me say that my original idea for the letter U and letter V both tied in together.  But that was before I looked at the calendar, and realized that the letter U fell right after Memorial Day weekend.  So my inspiration for V started with the letter U...who cares, right?  Here's the finished look, and yes, I know my cuticles look awful.  There is a lot of oil glare that wasn't there IRL, and they look bad in these photos.  But you are only here to see the polish, right?

 

 

As much as I like the glitter topper, I LOVE!!! how the base underneath came out.  I almost didn't want to cover it up!

 

 

 

And here is my inspiration that started this.  The animated movie UP.  This is pretty much what I was going to recreate on my nails for U, but I loved the shading of the sky in the background:

 

 

So, Venus In The Sky is a glitter topper from Frankenstain Nail Polish.  It's got blue, teal, and some glitter that looks to be a VERY pale green, along with silver.  All sorts of shapes, but no big chunkies.

 

 

The polishes used:

Orly French Tip line - White Tips

Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure - Water Color (My absolute FAVORITE blue right now)

China Glaze - Bahamian Escape

Studio M - Whose That Girl (spelling is from the bottle...)

Frankenstain Nail Polish - Venus In The Sky

 

 

 

And I had to include a photo of my cat...a week ago Tuesday she went in to the hospital with a severe case of feline pancreatitis.  There were doubts whether or not she would make it.  I did a previous post about it, and the pictures didn't really show just exactly how sick she was.  But the animal hospital performed a miracle...she still has a couple issues that need to be monitored very closely; the hope is that these problems are all caused from the pancreatitis being so severe.  But I picked her up from the hospital on Friday evening about 9pm, and this photo is from Sunday.  Today, (Tuesday) she looks even better than she does here.
