First Successful Nail Art

So much mediocrity! I'd painted a few pretty things, but nothing really unique and fun. Then, a few days into March, I found this video. Me: "I MUST TRY THIS." I've always loved abstract everything, and really, really enjoy taking abstract photography, so abstract work on my nails is just the logical next step.

Obviously, being painfully limited in color choice, I didn't have the colors called for in that video. But Sinful Colors' Merlot and Aqua are quite pretty together, so that's what I used, along with Sally Hansen's white and Sinful Colors' Black on Black.

In the future, when my creations and this blog actually start overlapping in time, I'll have pictures for each step of the process. For now, the video linked above has the steps, and this is my result:

SWIRLY

It's a bit busier than I would've liked, but for a first try at anything fancier than a swoosh with dots, I was pretty happy with it. I got a number of compliments from strangers on it, too!

EGO BOOST.
