Rainbow Gradient Nails

I needed a simple nail look for this week since they coincide with an ongoing art project of mine, so this is what i came up with. I took 11 nail polishes and then painted one half of each nail with a color, filling in the middle section with the acrylic paint combination of the two nail polish colors for a seamless transition between colors. I added some glitter to the tips of each nail and then three dots near my cuticles. Finishing off with two coats of top coat, I completed the look. 

Abstract See Through Nails

I didn't have a huge pull to any one nail design this week so i just let the paint do the talking and created this simple abstract design. I started with a pink/orange shimmery see through nail polish and then just used acrylic paint for the design portion. Finishing off with two top coats this design only took and hour and a half, which is short for me! 

I'm amazed i haven't broken a nail yet, knock on wood. 

Trippy Colored Light/Shadow Art

Thought i would share this art exercise with y'all because I'm obsessed with how this all came out. Using three different colored lights; red, green, and blue; and with cut out paper i was able to create these designs with shadows on the adjacent wall.

Piet Mondrian Nail Art

Inspired by the artwork created by Piet Mondrian, I painted my nails according to his amazing art pieces. Starting with a white base, i painted on black lines and then filled in some with red, yellow, and blue acrylic paint. I really love the way these turned out and will definitely be doing some more artist inspired nail looks in the future. 

This is the mural that i featured in the background of my nail photos. 

Classic Horror Film Silhouettes

For the last week of Halloween season, I decided to do classic horror film silhouettes. On my left hand i featured the five silhouettes and then on my right hand i painted on the matching names for the movies. Going from my pinky to my thumb; Scream, Halloween, Psycho, The Ring, and The Nightmare on Elm Street. I added rhinestones because why not. 

 And i had to add some dripping blood because it's halloween.
