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,
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)
