Day 56
First off, I'm going to say that I love most of what came out of the 60's and 70's. I love the music, the art, the styles, etc, and tie dye!! (even though I never wear it!! ;-P) :) So today's nails are my interpretation of the fashion fad that we all know, and love or loathe. :-P
I used China Glaze White on White as a base, with China Glaze Salsa for the red, Zoya Paz for the orange, Zoya Pippa for the yellow, Zoya Midori for the green, Zoya Tallulah for the blue, and Kleancolor Neon Purple for the purple. Topped it all off with 2 coats of Seche Vite top coat, as per my custom. :-P
Far Out.
So cool. Love the finger-less gloves too.
ReplyDeletewhat is there to say except... "GROOVY"...?
ReplyDelete(a word that I asked my mother to stop saying, as it embarrassed teenage me...)
Jen C- thanks! just bought a 2-pack of stretchy gloves from Target for $1.50 and cute 1/2" from the tips. I call it hobo-chic. :-P (the office I work in is SUPER cold)
ReplyDeleteAnon-totally groovy, mannnnn :-P thanks!
^^ I did the EXACT same thing - got 2 pairs of gloves for 1.50 at Target (black and black and white stripe) and cut the fingers off... I call mine my Hobo Gloves. They're nice because I can stil polish, use the computer, and read (I'm an English grad student so I do a lot of the latter). LOVE this design. You're so creative!!
ReplyDeleteI love, love this project of yours. It's so fun and so creative! I'd love to hear more, each day, about how you get the design. Sometimes you mention pens and plates you use, but what else? And where do you get your inspiration?
ReplyDeleteThanks guys!
ReplyDeleteBrooke- great minds think alike!! :-P
Autumn- i mainly use brushes for the stuff I paint- either fine-bristled art brushes from Michaels ($3), or a nail art brush from Sally that I got ($3). Inspiration comes from all over, from my interests (culinary, nostalgia, art, etc), from the world around me - like the bricks, etc, and from readers that email me with ideas! :) Most of the time I don't know what I'm going to paint until I sit down to paint! I have a list for the days when I'm blocked, but otherwise, its pretty random.
That looks groovy! Love it!
ReplyDeleteSo did you use art brushes here? They seem very thin to have been used with the normal brush that comes with polishes.
ReplyDeleteI can smell the patchouli and B.O. from here.
ReplyDeleteThese are so cute! Everything you make I love!!
ReplyDeleteThanks gildedangel!
ReplyDeleteJustSomeNailsByMJ- I used a nail art brush that I got from Sally Beauty Supply for around $3.
Ass- aren't you sure thats not coming from you, Patrick? :-P
Ashleigh Mayes- Thank you!!
Reminds me of your sheets and comforter you had at Ferris... :) Very cooool!

Those are adorable. I went through this phase when I was 13 where I wore tie dye like, all the time (I'm pretty sure I was annoying). Your nails bring up fond memories. :D
ReplyDeleteAng- OMG I totally forgot about those!! They were SOOOO comfy! Tshirt material too!
ReplyDeleteLilac Wine, glad I could do that- happy memories kick ass!! :)
wow.Just,wow. I am seriously going to start painting my nails now. this is just too cool.
ReplyDeleteSO BEAUTIFULLLLLLLLLL! WONDERFULLLL!
ReplyDeleteTie dyed lots of T-shirts in the 70's, with 3 daughters to clothe my mom thought plain white T's and some liquid dyes was a thrifty way to go! But there was no B.O. involved Mr. A$$. LOL.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful nails M. Once I catch up I'm going to go check out those marbling tutes on YT.
I attempted to recreate this look...check out the pics on my blog please :)
