Digital Dozen Does Autumn - Day 5: Autumn by Calvin & Hobbes

I'm ending the week with some late posting but I think we're going out with a bang!
This week has been crazy insane (I commited to actually making a mani a day - why do I make silly bets with myself!?) but also incredible rewarding.

I'm happy I produced some (if I may say so msyelf) beautiful nail art and actually proud to count myself amongst The Digital Dozen fab ladies - thank you for taking me, in!

Without further ado, let's show you what I prepared for my final mani:

Ever since I've gotten into nail art as in for real, I've wanted to paint one of my favourite cartoon characters: Calvin & Hobbes.

I took inspiration from THIS one in particular and, apart from Calvin's face, can I just say I'm hecstatic at how it came out?
So proud I didn't ruin it! Painting your favourites on your nail can go so wrong!

I painted my nails this bright sky blue with miisp Wonderland Cinderella.
I then sponged the leaves using yellow, orange and red.

All details were painted in acrylic paint and it wasn't all that hard until... I had to paint Calvin's eyes and nose and mouth.
And I swear I never cursed as loud! It almost made me give up!! Glad I didn't, they were worth it :)

Do you agree?
