LDTTWC, Day 5: "We can do it!"



For day 5 of the Time Warp Challenge, created by Lindsey, I have chosen Florence Nightingale as my influential woman. I remember watching a movie about her when I was a kid & having to write an essay. It made quite an impression on me & hers was the first name that popped into my head when thinking about who I should pick for today's challenge. 

I used a dark blue for my base, then with acrylic paints I painted her demure dress collar on all my nails except my ring finger. On my ring finger I painted a lamp since she was known as the "Lady with the Lamp".
