Day 27 – Inspired by an Artwork

Hey guys! Today is one of the days I am very excited about. This post will show you Day 27 of the challenge which is Inspired by an Artwork.

I celebrated my last birthday at Madame Tussauds in Amsterdam. I saw a lot of wax statues and famous things in the museum. One of them is what inspired me for this design. I’ve been wanting to try this on my nails but didn’t get the time to do it.

Piet Mondrian is famous for his geometric paintings. Here is a sample of his work.

The design looks simple although would take a lot of time to do especially for a person like me that have a shaky hand. But the results are totally worth it.

I decided to “divide” parts of the artwork on each of my nails since I don’t think it would fit on just one nail. It also gives a fun look since no nail is identical.

I started painting all of my nails white as base color before drawing the other shapes. With the help of a nail art pen and a nail art brush, I was able to draw lines on and parallelograms on my nails. As you might have notices, those lines are not as crisp and straight, as I’ve mentioned, I really have a shaky hand.

I love the overall look of this design. It’s very simple but still catchy.

Tell me what you think.

Hi guys! What I will share with you today is a very simple design I made today. What I actually wanted to do is something a little in line with the season -- Halloween. But since I'm having a very important formal appointment tomorrow, I opted for a more simple design.

I already did a couple plaid designs way back, since as we all know, it's one of the easiest design to create. I think I already saw this over the internet, so I just copied it the way I remember it.

Purple Plaid

 I'm thinking of something bold and loud as my base color. But I can't really decide which one to use. So since violet is my favorite color, I decided to just use the most recent violet polish that I purchased, Caronia First Crush. I love the base color it's actually my favorite shade of violet. this is so recent that I was not able to swatch it yet. But be on the look out, I'll be doing a review some time soon.

As I've said on my previous post, I am really in love with a matte finish. So I used a matte top coat on this one before using a striper polish for the plaid.

I'd really love to have a very thin line for the plaid. But having a shaky hand like mine, its actually next to impossible. Nonetheless, I love how it turned out, simple and formal.

Hope you guys liked it. :)

Lines and Dots

Hello everyone! For my first nail post, I decided to show you a nail design I made last month during my vacation in Hoorn, Netherlands -- Lines and Dots.

This design is actually inspired by a plaid tutorial as seen on Rebecca Likes Nails and Nail Polish Art Addiction. I started on with the base color, striped a complementary color and added red lines instead of white. While looking at it, i decided not to do the plaid. But it look so dull and boring so I added some dots using green polish.

Here's how it looks like with regular glossy top coat.

And being a fan of matte finish, I just can't resist putting on a matte top coat. Here's how it looks like.
