Week 15: Magazine Contest Submission

by NAILS Magazine | January 21, 2014 | Bookmark +
I have a newfound respect for acrylic. Yes, it's true! We worked on nail art for a magazine contest with a nautical theme. I have expressed over and over again that I'm not great with nail art, so my pieces I'm sure will be blown out of the water (hehe), but I'm proud of myself for figuring it out without any help. I couldn't help but think of my mom...she loved her boat, which she names She Come Undone, and she loved the mystery behind mermaids.

So my nails have a story...

A woman on her boat was craving adventure/depth, so she took of her bikini and dove into the ocean only be transformed into a mermaid. Therefore, she's come undone.

This project took up my week and although I'm glad it's over, I'm finding myself thinking of what else I can create with my liquid-and-powder...
