This seemed like the natural progression of things.
The base is a perfect police blue, the he police tape is acrylic paint and a rollerball pen, and the hand cuffs are Orly Platinum Blush. I actually had a hard time figuring out what to put on my thumb. I started looking up "Things police carry with them" online as I wanted to put some thing a bit different on my thumb. Everything I found I either ended up not wanting on my nails or it was just something I didn't feel I could draw. That lead me to look up "What CSI carry around", but then I had to look things up specifically. Originally when I put CSI in any form in my photo searches I mainly got promo for the TV show. Now the thing is when you look up individual CSI items you start getting actual crime scene photos. So after 1 dead body I was done. FINALLY I gave up and tried to paint tiny handcuffs on a piece of paper. I failed epically, went back to Google and searched handcuff nails where I found this. Much easier then the more realistic looking cuffs I was trying to do :P
Anyways the moral of the story is my nails are pretty and the internet is sometimes filled with the things nightmares are made of... :D
