For those of you who cannot get enough of all things pickle-related and want to celebrate those tasty treats in whatever way possible we suggest you consider attempting this awesomely creative pickle manicure, “The Real Dill”.
Here’s how it was done:
To achieve the pickle bumps, I used nail pearls from Born Pretty, then painted over them, and to get the mottled look of the pickle skin, I sponged several different greens. I used butter LONDON Dosh as a base for all nails, and over top of the nail pearls on the bumpy nails. On the bumpy nails, I used Dare 2 Wear Rio De Janeiro, Icing True Beauty, and RBL No More War, and MAC Dry Martini to sponge over butter LONDON Dosh. For the pickle inside nails (thumb and ring) I used Dare 2 Wear Rio De Janeiro over the base color, then mixed with American Apparel California Trooper and some Icing True Beauty to make the highlights and shadows of the seeds. Topped everything off with 2 coats of Seche Vite top coat.

Photographer Alan Sailer clearly has a lot of fun using high speed photography to capture awesome images of different objects as they explode. Here you see an apple and a sweet potato each in the middle of a dazzling burst.
One wonders if the walls of his studio are now coated with a fruit and veggie puree after shooting this series of exploding comestibles. Alans says, “The garage smells sweet. Cheers.”

MAGGIE: I only want one slice.
FRAN: Me too. Pizza is very fattening.
MAGGIE: Fran, that’s two.
FRAN: No honey, not when you eat it like this. The body doesn’t know.I literally LOLed.
This is going to be me all Christmas day. “Lesley, that’s three slices of cheesecake!” “Ssshhh, when you shovel it in like this, the body doesn’t know..”
