Pirates of the sea, unite!

Inspired, of course by Sparrow and his trail of parrots, ayeeee grrrrr! This is something simple, but pirate-themed if you've caught the pirates fever too.

Nail polish for yerr scurvy dogs. L to R: midnight blue, metallic blue, sky blue, green glitter, white
Very lovely metallic sea blue, put some of it onto a sponge
Sponge off to the mid-point of the nails
Paint the middle finger black (Ho yeahh!)
Take sea blue, and hold it at the angle shown above
Dot rough patches of blue like this
Take the metallic sea blue again and swipe at 45 degrees like this
On the thumb, add a sea-wavy french tip with midnight blue
Using the tool brush, pick up some white
And dot rough patches of white to create waves
Try and keep it patchy and disperse else it'd start looking like white blocks instead
Add a yolk sun on the thumb
On the black nail, draw an oval with two black spots like this
Draw in the mouth, and other details
Gloss the nails with glitter green, excluding the black nail
As I'm a right hander, I can't detail a skull on my right hand. So instead I drew a sketchy heart like this
And you're done!

Hope you liked that! Let me know what you'd improve or what you like because I think this can be better! :)

There is also a poll on the right to find out what's the hottest nail color so take your vote and put it in today!
