Last weekend I had the privilege of attending a convention where Christopher Lloyd was one of the guests. I adore the man for not only his work in the Back to the Future films, but I watched The Addams Family movies
to death in my childhood and am currently hooked on Taxi.
A part for every phase of your life.
When attending cons, I like to do nail art somewhat in theme with whatever franchise one of the guests I like is from - whether overt or more subtle - and this time I went for more subtle and stuck to the colour scheme of orange/yellow/blue you'll see on most Back to the Future posters and other imagery.
The yellow is
Herôme W.I.C.'s '
Utreg 173', with a
MAX nail art striper ('
Neon Orange') for the lines. The orange is the only one in the ensemble that's a straight up opaque colour so it sets off nicely against the other two shimmery ones. Lastly, the blue is
Koh's '
Midnight Blue (130)'.
Tape was used for the initial triangle shape with the orange parts done freehand.
A grand total of
two days(!) before the convention I got stuck on the notion that I definitely should cosplay Marty McFly to the con, and to my great astonishment actually pulled it off.
With a €2,99 plain red t-shirt bought from the local Zeeman, I borrowed the rest together from friends, family and neighbours. Many thanks to all of them.
(Who even
has one of those red vests nowadays? Turns out, my uncle's wife does.)
