Here's a manicure I done did for a friend, who is also a So-So Fly Biologist. We're showing those Nerds how it's done!
The manicure is Polka Dot Dotty using Barry M varnishes (Coral and Black). Took me a while to paint in full - I'm a perfectionist. But a Big Thank You to the Dahling who lent me her keratin canvases...I'd be happy to manicure again - if you ever have 5 hours to spare ^_^
Polka dots on nails has been trending for several years but they have never left the scene because they can work with most colour combos and they are pretty easy to paint - just use the end of a paint brush or anything with a small blunt end.
So get painting - I want to see those Polka Dot claws at a Lab Bench near me!
Here's some more polka dot inspiration for you:

It was created by Dean Shorey (NY, USA)...check out the original post here.
For those that are less geek-minded, the motor above is a Colonial Viper, used by fighter pilots in the truly awesome Battlestar Galactica. Well, actually, it is a Mark II Colonial Viper. Hey, some call it pedantry...I prefer to call it attention to detail!
At the moment I have a somewhat below standard ride - A Smart Car. It is cute, indeed...but can it kick Cylon butt in outer space? No. So, I would gladly wrestle Starbuck for her Viper, although I'm 100% sure she would pound my ass into the ground.
I'll just have to stick to driving my Smart Car at night, pretending it's a Viper and I'm going after frakking toasters...travelling at 90 mph and beeping my horn is just as good, right? O_o
This one goes out to Samantha Brick...seriously, bitch, follow my advice if you want to lead a normal life...also apologies to The Boy because he his going to hate this...I just couldn't help myself...I ❤ Nail Porn, especially when it's on me ^_^
Well, how do you get men to hate you when you are So-So Fly? I understand Sam Brick's dilemma...ha...no, I'm in touch with reality (unfortunately)! But...
One quality that men abhore in women, apart from low self esteem and hair that's not on your head, is [what they consider] horrifically long nails...is that a quality?...ummmm...maybe an attribute...who cares?...anyway, men are not fans of talons and/or nail porn.
I just can't help myself though - I ❤ long Nails! As well as being very elegant, they are 10 potential canvases on which to paint your personality...anything you desire.
Yes, it is possible to do that on short nails but [they look hideous and] long nails provide you with a much larger surface on which to express yourself! Go for it!

But back to the task at hand - "How To Get Men To Hate You" with Nail Porn...
I tried my hand at Salon Acrylics - yes D.I.Y. Acrylic Nails O_o...
Alien Barbie
I feel like the female version of Wolverine
I used Kiss: Complete Salon Acrylic Kit. Having never worn Acrylics before, or any extensions that you don't stick directly on, these worked out fantastically well. It was surprisingly easy...although it has left me cimpletly incpable of typing withut mistakes...pretty mch evey wrd...
Those 3 words wr for drmtic effct...
Anyways, I'm very happy with these...pretty easy to apply for a complete beginner, giving me Nails long enough to scratch any man's eyes out...c4urslf...
And I know men, including The Boy, hate nails this long and this pink. But, in all honesty...
...this is the amount of fucks I give...
Old Skool...couldn't resist
BUT I don't want to put men off completely...so I suggest you combine So-So fly Long Nails with a Samantha Brick make-up tutorial...brought to you by the Talented Mr Kindersley...
...and I admit I'm attempting to jump on the bandwagon long after it has left town (You were pretty speedy, my dear!), everyone got there well before me...but it's never too late to look fabulous...Tell Them!
