If one can mourn over the loss of fingernails, then
that person is surely me this morning. Today, after the 'death' of my baby
fingernail, I had to say goodbye to nine other 'close allies' who in comradery
needed to go the same route as their fellow nail. So, in tribute to these ten
fallen 'friends' I give you a design, from earlier this year that I
had posted on my original website.
This was my first nail design for the fall season.
I called it 'Autumn Art'. It is inspired by a design from 'Nail Polish Wars
Blogspot' (sorry but I don't remember the website address because I wrote the
idea down in my nail book a few weeks ago).
It is a pretty simple design. Just divide each
nail into three triangular shapes. Paint each section a different fall colour
(make sure you use a good base coat first). In this design I've used a deep
green, a beige and a rusty-copper tone. After a couple coats of each colour so
that they are solid looking, apply two coats of a gold flecked glitter to give
it a bit of a sparkle. Add two coats of a good topcoat and you are done. And
for a closer look:
Please take this post in the tongue in cheek jest
that it is meant. I know that there are people out there really suffering from
loss and in no way do I want to disrespect any of them. It is just that 'vanity
is my name' when it comes to my fingernails, and I do feel a sense of loss now
that they are no longer with me.
Until next time,

LOL You are too funny! I don't use nail polish because it always chipped the 1st day and the the new bondo stuff they have now...I can't afford!! But, I do love seeing all of the super cool designs on FB and Pinterest. These colors would be perfect for Christmas!! Great design.
Aww... I'm sorry you lose one of your babies! (I feel that pain if I dump a jar of sparkly eyeshadow... tragic.) That design is gorgeous, by the way! :o)
Hugs and blessings!
