Big Bang Theory Nails AKA Rock-Paper-Scissors-Lizard-Spock

With my myriad of nerdy and science-oriented nails, it should be no surprise that I love the Big Band Theory.  I have all the season of the show and often quote it:) "Soft kitty, warm kitty.." Anyway, this is my Rock-Paper-Scissors-Lizard-Spock nails. Doesn't Spock look hilarious!  Ah, well...I try!!

This design was all free-handed but please ask if you want some tips or have questions!

DNA Themed Nails

As mentioned when I did the Periodic Life nails, I really did have a work-in-progress design of a  DNA set of themed nails.  I finally got around to painting these the other day.

I started with two coats of Midnight Queen on each base-coated nail and then free-handed most of the designs with Sinful Colors Snow Me White (not pictured).  You should always do a design base with white to help colors show correctly on top of dark colors.   I then went back in and added the colors.  On my thumb I have letter blocks spelling out "LIFE" as a kind of joke..."DNA, the building blocks of life"  from Jurassic Park.  My index finger nail has chromosomes painted in Happy Ending.  My middle finger sports a DNA double helix structure with those memorable base pairing of guanine and cytosine and adenine and thymine.  My ring finger has DNA profiling in several different blues.  My ring finger has my favorite element which makes up part of each nucleotide as a 5 carbon sugar called deoyxribose!

I wonder what other Science themed nails I can come up with??  I'm thinking Physics next!

Periodic Life Nails

Having taught Science for three years and always a Science enthusiast, I love making some nerdy Science nails.  Hydrogen, Carbon, Nitrogen, and Oxygen are four of the top elements needed for life so I added their periodic table squares to my nails.   Lithium (Li) and Iron (Fe) are handy enough to spell out "LiFe."  This throws me back to high school chemistry but I have to share...the way to remember that Iron is Fe is that Iron is very "eff eee" or "heavy."  ;0)
