Spring Challenge-Bugs.....Lightning

The spring challenge's next doozy was to do bugs.  I am left with yellow and green as my color combo.  I hate how my nails look in yellow.  My skin is way too pale Irish to pull off yellow.  And, I could not imagine a design that I would like using bugs.  Turns out, it was a good thing I saved a litle bit of green for last.  I decided it would be cool to do lightning bugs.  I love them.  Who doesn't????  They are just the most amazing things.  I painted a base coat with Orly Spark and found some great glow in the dark polish from OPI called Zom-body to love.  So then I went to work......

I wanted one cartoon like bug on the accent nail and the rest to look like lightening bugs in the distance.  Of course, you all know what I planned on doing next.......

Only one problem....the polish is kept in a dark room with no sunlight and it needs sunlight to activate the "glow" feature.  This made it impossible to take a picture because.....THERE IS NO SUN OUT TODAY!!!!  How could I make sun???  Many of my fellow bloggers would think the same way as me, I am sure.  I got out the gel UV light and stuck my hand in for a minute.  Voila....

Not the clearest image in the world but it worked.  I think it is really cool.  I may try this again in the futue with a funky stamp pattern.
