Hey guys! You might remember I tried my hand at a Pop Art mani once before, with what I would consider seriously lackluster results, I basically hated it. But this one today, well I loves this one. I actually did this mani as a tutorial for my monthly series with Pure Nail Lacquer! So you can see that video at the end of this post too!
Todays prompt for the Nail-Art-A-Go-Go Challenge is Night Sky. I toyed with ideas of space nails, stars, darkness, but in the end I opted for a sunset type of design. I do love it in theory but my gradient could definitely use some improving I think.
Hey hey hey! So today marks the last day of Week One of the Nail-Art-A-Go-Go challenge. This means the color theory prompts are over and more aggressive prompts will begin! When I put this challenge together I was super excited to really "challenge" myself and others with new types of prompts, but then when it comes time to DO them, I'm like WHAT WAS I THINKING?! But anyway - todays final color theory is Primary Colors, which are just about my favorite on the color wheel, something I just loved when I took art class in high school.
I'm taking a short break from the Digit-al Dozen this week/today to bring you another in the Pure Tutorials Series I'll be doing here on the blog once a month. Pure Nail Lacquer sponsors a few bloggers to produce tutorials doing anything we want with any of their polishes - so today I decided to do a pretty easy/everyone can do it type of tutorial - Rainbow Leopard! Truth be told I was a bit at a loss for what to do this month, so Nory of Fierce Makeup & Nails is to thank for this idea!
