31 Day Challenge Day 27 - Inspired by Artwork

Hello there!

Sorry I went AWOL on the challenge again, I've just been pressed for time and terribly uninspired with these last challenge prompts. I am not a very arty person. Like at all. I enjoy looking at art and, on occasion, can interpret and analyze a piece of art but I just don't have enough faith in my abilities to attempt to recreate a masterpiece on my nails.

When I saw Kimber's post for her 'Inspired by Artwork', I saw she used a nail artist as inspiration. Suddenly, I was like DUH, nail art is still artwork so I dug from my Inspiration folder and recreated THIS look from Dressed Up Nails. This girl has some seriously amazing nail art and pictures! I don't know how I've never come across her blog before but I'm so happy I did :)

For my interpretation, I started with one coat of black, applied the striping tape and added one coat of butter LONDON Wallis.




I had a really hard time choosing pics for this post because they were all blurry for some reason. I really liked the result though! It's very rare these days to have a mani come out exactly as planned. Now to come up with an idea for 'Inspired by a Flag' so I can catch up to the other ladies and finish the challenge on time...

Remember to check out all the blogs participating!

  2. This is lovely, you must have more patience with striping tape than me! I finally caught up with the challenge but I think I'm gonna fall behind again (so close to the end!) as I'm totally uninspired by the supernatural prompt!

    1. I'm totally uninspired too! Even worse, I won't have a lot of spare time this week. I'm even naked right now! *GASP*

      Haha you'd be surprised :P. I did this mani while having a Netflix watchathon so I would pause placing the strips while I saw an important part of the show. That way I didn't get too frustrated.
