nails & whales

From the archives: original mani done early January 2015. 

Uninspired?

Open up some of your favorite nail tech Instagrams, pick random base colors, do random doodles, and call it a day. 

Can't say I wasn't satisfied with what came out! The linework on the index and pinky fingers is sketchy (haha), but I was pretty happy with the overall result. Unfortunately, with this type of "mani-block" product, the composition is fairly random/unbalanced. But, frankly, with how the tiger turned out, I wasn't too mad. ;) Add on some glittery Swarovski, and there's a mani. 

Impact Mints. Because what's better for hand modeling than a lime green tin of melon-flavored mints from Hong Kong? (Those are some pretty good mints. They've vanished off my desk, though... No clue where they've gone.)
