 | Oh man you guys. For a theme I started out hating, I totally went above and beyond what I sometimes think I am capable of with the nail art this week for Digit-al Dozen. It's not ALL great, but some of it is...well...just look at this one. |
This month our theme is Skittles. Not the candy, even though you could do that, but the skittle mani - a different design/color on each nail. Essentially, no two nails alike.
So I did Mondrian Art! Mondrian style art is something I have been wanting to do forever. At one point I thought I was the only one to think it up, but then before I got a chance to do it, it started popping up here and there and I just tossed the idea to the side.
The colors in this mani are Color Club Mamba (Red), American Apparel Manila (Yellow), and Sinful Colors Burning Bright (Blue)
I basically just striped black one way vertical and one way horizontal, nothing fancy or clean, just so I wouldn't have to paint over an entire nail of black. After it dried I taped over the black stripes and painted white in all of the boxes but one. In the other remaining box I painted red, yellow or blue, and pulled the tapes off.
It's sort of an abstract take on Mondrian but I simply love it!
