Fossil Nails #A2Z - O is for Old

The moment I saw this prompt I know straight away what I'd be doing! 


Fossil Nails
 
'cause nothing says old like fossil remains, that's what I went for and I love the result!

I used a ton of polishes for the background and I'm really sad the camera didn't capture the whole effect, but... I can tell you there were at least three different shades of yellow, some nudes and two different brown shades.

I did the fossil remains in acrylic paints and a detail brush and, for a first, I can tell you I'm happy with the result :)



How about you? What do you think of these?
Also, have a look at everyone else's designs on the theme (here) and if you'd like a recap of everyone's favourites so far, check Charlie's post about it here.
