My Colors
(from left to right) Blue Print by Milani, Black Sketch by Milani, Blank Canvas by Milani, and The More the Merrier by Essie.
First I painted my nails with The More the Merrier.
On my middle and ring fingers, I painted an outline of my shark face. It looks like an isosceles triangle that's kind of tipping over. Yay geometry!
I filled in half of my triangle with blue. On my index and pinky fingers I outlined shark fins.
I filled in the shark faces and fins with white. My shark fins are now done!
Time to add details to my shark faces! First, I used Black Sketch to add little eyes.
Time to add the final details! I outlined half of the shark's eye in white and added a little white dot to the middle. Using Black Sketch, I painted the shark's mouth and three gills under its eye.
Special shoutout to Gerard for having super nautical room decorations and not being visibly weirded out when I spent an hour taking pictures of my hands amongst them.
Jaws (1975)
Jaws takes place in a fictional Martha's Vineyard town called Amity Island. In the summer of 1975, Amity Island is terrorized by a 25-foot great white shark that kills five people and one very adorable labrador puppy. As this movie has taught us, moving to Amity Island is a terrible idea! The mayor is corrupt, the town economy is too dependent on summer tourism and you will most definitely be killed by a shark. But OMG the Vineyard is so cute.
12 reasons I would move to Amity Island despite the fact that I'd inevitably be eaten by a shark:
1. Amity Island is the quintessential, quaint New England town!
2. Yes, if you move to Amity Island you'll probably witness one of your dear friends be savagely maimed by a shark, blood spurting EVERYWHERE... but that oceanfront property tho!
3. Every man, woman and child owns a super adorable boat.
4. So Amity Island doesn't have a sustainable and diversified economy, but can't you just see yourself drinking wine and looking out your window onto the EFFING OCEAN!
5. Look at this beach bonfire. Doesn't it look fun? Don't you want to strum your guitar, drink some beer and try to forget about that time you were sitting on the beach, enjoying the perfect New England summer weather when all the sudden a shark massacred your little brother and dragged his body out to sea?
6. Everyone is really into anchors, boats and nautical shit.
7. All of your loved ones are going to be murdered by a human-eating shark. But look, the beach!
8. The mayor is a total idiot. After the first shark attack, the sheriff suggests closing the beaches to prevent any more deaths. (Hmm that makes sense) But the mayor, fearing that a shark problem will hurt summer tourism, forces the sheriff to keep quiet. (WHAT? NO!) He goes so far as to convince the coroner that the victim died in a boating accident. Naturally, the next day the entire town goes to the beach and the shark eats an adorable little child.
Yet, the mayor continues to reassure everyone that swimming in the ocean is totally safe! (AHHHH!) I spent most of the movie actively hating the mayor and yelling at the TV. But row boats are so fun!
9. Your precious children are going to be incredibly psychologically damaged from all the shark attacks that they witness. But you'll get to live in a beautiful colonial style home with a very tasteful garden. So, worth it.
10. LOOK AT THIS PUPPY!! Look at its adorable puppy face! Forget how you're 100% going to be eaten by a shark.
11. Clearly, summer tourism is way more important that your safety, but how beautiful is this Martha's Vineyard sunset?!
12. Before this whole shark eating everyone thing, the Vineyard's largest crime problem was karate students ruining the town's white picket fences by karate chopping them. Even their vandalism is adorable!
