Radiator


Yeah, so the name is lame, I know, I really couldn't think of anything clever for this one, and since everything radiates from the black line out, 'Radiator' it is. I wanted to do an abstract design today, and I've had this one on my mind for a few days now, so I thought that I'd finally do it! I love the dots, they remind me of halftone dots, which, being a designer, of course I love.


I used American Apparel Cotton as a base, with American Apparel Hassid for the black line and then applied with a dotting tool for the black dots. For the gold lines, I used China Glaze 2030 from Khrome Collection. Topped it all off with 2 coats of Seche Vite top coat.

Only 7 days left!! WOOOT! (because I'll have accomplished it, not because the blog will be over- I LOVE it too much to quit!!)

  2. Ha, I thought you were bringing the geeky themed nails back and they were stylized Daleks.

    Love the gold.

  4. Only 7 days left? wow... time flies... I don´t think I´ve ever left a comment before, but, I´ve seen all the designs and I think they´re all gorgeous and well-done!
    Why don´t you make another challenge, like... doing different designs for 1 week with the same colours, and from week to week you change the colours!

    Just and idea! but, please keep´em comin´!!!!!!!

  5. You do the best nail art. The best. I love it that you don't do girlie stuff. Love it. Please keep going with some nail art after the year is up even if you intersperse other themes too.
