NTNA 2014 Pre-Challenge #1: 3-D Music (Marianthi)

Marianthi Tsitsopoulou (Oreoi, Greece) creates a 3-D design on a single nail tip using a variety of nail products based on a "music" theme. "I wanted to express music as a lifestyle, more than a product. For that reason, I made an afro girl, who represents the origin of my favorite kinds of music — soul, hip hop, funk and so on. I wanted her to have motion in her posture, and sound as she would be moved (the sound of her jewelry). I used a nail tip to sculpt her face and continued with a form to sculpt her body. I used water colors for her skin, make up and clothing and acrylic for the headphones, hair and the vinyl record adjusted on her head. Jewelry is made from chains and jump rings. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have!"
