31DC2014 Day 30 - Inspired By A Tutorial

Keeping with the same theme as yesterday I followed this tutorial Here.
Again The Silence in a suit from Doctor Who ;)

When I took these photos I thought that it would be okay to just keep my regular hand pose with the thumb at the bottom and then just flip them on Picasa,
 little did I know they would turn out so awkward after I rotated them so there are not that many pics.


Polishes used:
Alessandro - Midnight Black
OPI - Alpine Snow
OPI - Taupe-less Beach
The New Black - unnamed nude

31DC2014 Day 28 - Inspired By A Flag

I wasn't that inspired doing these, I'm sick and just not in a good mood so this is not my best work, a little sloppy and all over the place.
I didn't choose one specific flag, I made this thinking of fall so I went with a fall-y palette.

31DC2014 Day 27 - Inspired By Artwork

Dots are my favorite kind of nail art, it's easy to do, doesn't take a lot of time and it always comes out looking good.

Yayoi Kusama is a Japanese pop artist who is most famous for her obsession with dots, coincidentally she is one of my favorite artist. Some say her art is shallow and repetitive but I disagree, I think she is showing us her soul, showing the world her twisted imagination, how hard it must be to have spots on your mind all the time. I think she is in an institution for people with mental illness now because she would work on her art until she collapsed - that's a strong obsession.


Here's my inspiration, she calls this pumpkin her alter-ego.

Polishes used:
OPI - Need Sunglasses?
Alessandro - Midnight Black

31DC2014 Day 26 - Inspired By A Pattern

There are too many patterns in the world!!!
Choosing was so hard, I wanted to do something simple as I'm a little short on time these days, also patterns intimidate me, I'm much more of an abstract artist than anything else, at least when it comes to nail art. But I found this really pretty print on Pinterest which I like a lot.


The best thing about it is that it gives me room to be a little messy ;)


Polishes used:
OPI - Alpine Snow
OPI - I Just Can't Cope-acabana
OPI - Sorry I'm Fizzy Today
Black striper from The New Black

31DC2014 Day 23 - Inspired By A Movie

I was a little uninspired when I was looking for inspiration for this one.
One of my favorite movies it The Fall, it's really beautiful, colorful scenes and a lovely story.
When I went looking though pictures of this film on Google I came across this one.
And decided that this would be my inspiration.

I'm not extremely happy with how this turned out, I used a lighter red and a darker red to give the design more depth but that got totally lost on the pics.


Polishes used:
OPI - Alpine Snow
OPI - Coca-Cola Red
OPI - Red Hot Rio
