The one with Fail Art Thursday - Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-man!

It never fails. When I ask my son what to do with my nails, he usually comes up with something I simply cannot do.

"Make that watermarble look like a butterfly, Mom."
"Can you draw a cat on your nails, Mom?"
"Zelda, Mom, put Zelda on your nails."
"Spider-man!"

...okay, the last suggestion made me stop in my tracks and made my brain start turning. I had just received Cult Nails Evil Queen in a swap from Keisha over at Refined and Polished, so I had the perfect red sitting right next to me...and WnW Spoiled Correction Tape (white)...and a black LA Colors striper polish...

It didn't take me very long with the striper polish...it took me longer to psych myself up to actually do the Spider-man's face. I kept taking the striper, touching my nails, retracting it, taking deep breath. Lather, rinse, repeat. It took me a good half hour to actually start doing the face because I was worried I'd screw it up and have to start the nail all over again.
It's not perfect. But for my first try? I'd say it's pretty darn good! I decided I had beginnings luck with the nail, so I made the other nails just a cross cross mash-up of webs. I think it gives the illusion of them being thrown around.

**DISCLAIMER**  I was not paid for this review by anyone. I either purchased these polishes myself or were given gifts as friends because I could not find the particular shade I wanted myself.  I am not a professional nail tech, nor do I want to be. I'm just someone who enjoys polishing my own nails :)
