Nail Art: I've Got the Blues ... Clues!

Do you know Blues Clues? It's a television show for kids who's star is a dog named "Blue" basically because he's colored blue. It's an educational show for children wherein Blue is always presented with problems or mysteries to solve. He then gathers clues with the help of his friends. I made a Blues Clues nail design as an entry to a nail art challenge with the theme: I've Got the Blues!

I painted Blue on my ring finger as accent nail and his blue paw on my other nails. And so, yes, I became "literal" in interpreting the contest's theme! The television show was the first thing that came into mind when I was brainstorming on what design to submit.

For base, I used 2 coats of Orly Mirror Mirror. Application is easy and opaque with 2 layers. I used acrylic nail paint for Blue and the paws. This shade is becoming one of my favorite base colors for nail art.

  2. Omg so cute!! I love how you thought of doing Blues Clues for a theme about the "blues". Will definitely vote for you :)
    Oh and I'll bet you'll be surprised to find out Blue is actually a girl dog! I think there's a boy dog on the cartoon called Magenta--interesting role reversal. For the longest time I thought she was a he too!

  8. Thanks a lot ladies! Thank you also for the votes. :)

    To Constellational, I honestly didn't know that Blue is a girl! And yes, I think there's a pink dog in the show as well. It's a HE? This is interesting!
