Day Twenty-Seven: Inspired by Artwork

Wet 'n Wild Wild Shine in Blue Moon

Sinful Colors in Snow Me White

Sally Hansen Hard as Nails in Hard Hat

Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Mellow Yellow

Kiss Nail Art in White

Kiss Nail Art in Black

Of course, this was the first thing I thought of when I thought of a piece of art work. But, it turned out to be fun, and maybe I'll redo it, but with more details!

I went in and made the background color is Blue Moon. To make the "castle" or whatever the shape is, I put down the white on one nail, and made it just slightly larger than what I wanted to castle shape size to be. I put the white down for two reasons. 1) So that the black was more vibrant, because the sky color was so dark, and 2) so there was an outline and the castle was easier to see.

To make the swirls, I used white on a paint brush, and did not put much on the brush, and used quick strokes. I did it over and over until it was thin and wispy looking. I did a similar thing for the ring around the moon with Hard Hat, and then used Mellow Yellow to make the actual moon shape.

Day Twenty-Six: Inspired by a Pattern

Wet 'n Wild Wild Shine in Sunny Side Up

Kiss Nail Art in White

Kiss Nail Art in Black

There are a lot of argyle tutorials out there on the internet. But I still decided to make my own!

I'm still working out getting good, quality pictures, and figuring out how I like them edited as well. So, please, bear with me!

1. Paint a base color of your choice. I used Sunny Side Up, a light orange color.
2. Paint large diamonds in a pattern, with a complementing color. For my diamonds, I used white.
3. Paint lines with a third color that create diamonds, offset from the others. Do not fill these in the way you did with the diamonds. For my lines, I used black.

Day Twenty-Five: Inspired by Fashion

Sinful Colors in Ruby Ruby

Sinful Colors in Snow Me White

Kiss Nail Art in Black

I was having a hard time trying to find a good "fashion statement" or something that was actually current. Then, I was flipping through my Glamour magazine, and found this picture on an ad for Banana Republic!

Creating it was really easy after that. The white nail with the black design is not the best, but it was hard to even see exactly what it was on the shirt underneath. But I thought it turned out okay! (Although the picture quality is not the best...)

I love The Hunger Games, so I decided this was the best idea for me!

*Once again, I did not intentionally take any ideas off of anyone's page, or from Pinterest. These were the things I thought of on my own, and what I could do myself.

For tools, I just used a couple small nail brushes, and a small dotting tool.

I have never done a nail art design that was a whole picture, spread out over several nails! I like the way that it turned out!

I'm horrible. I am SO behind! But, I have had this done for a while, as well as a couple more days, I just never uploaded those. Not that that is much better...

Anywho, this song is Teardrops on my Guitar, by Taylor Swift. It's pretty obvious, I think.

The two base colors are Nude and Marine Blue.
For the guitar, I used San Tan-tonio, Little Brown Dress, Black Out, and Snow Me White.
The tears are Mint Candy Apple.
And the music notes are Black Out.
