Day 28: Inspired by a Flag
Inspired by a flag? WTH? Someone was running low on ideas when they were making up this challenge... Anyway, I'll give you one guess about what I did.
If you guessed, "googled 'flags' and scrolled through them all until she found one that had colors she wanted to use," you'd be correct. So I chose the flag of Ukraine.
I started with Sinful Colors Unicorn
And then I tried to freehand half of my nail with Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Blue Away although the SH brush is curved at the bottom so that was pretty hard to do.
And then because that wasn't enough, I dotted down the middle with Wet n Wild Black Creme

Not very fancy, but I really like these colors together! It kind of reminds me of pop art. I like it. But, if all goes as planned, tomorrow's nails should really knock you on your butt so throw down some pillows and get ready!
THIS IS FANTASTIC it reminds me of the time I did my nails like the Swedish flag in 8th grade because I loved your nails lmao. Also yayyy unicorn is of good use :D
ReplyDeleteSinful Colors Unicorn is lovely! I need a yellow like that...though it looks like it could have a troublesome formula, being yellow and pale and creamy and all.
ReplyDeleteI love the blue & yellow together! And the dots you added are super cute. :)
ReplyDeleteI really love how you added the dots to liven up this flag look! So awesome!
ReplyDeleteLove the colors, they're so pretty!
ReplyDeleteLove the dots you added to the inspiration! I'm impressed you managed to freehand with that SH ID brush. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the light blue shade! <3
ReplyDeleteI NEED A BABY BLUE NAIL POLISH! :-p haha
I'll get one sometime.
@Sonia: If you think this unicorn looks good wait till today's nails...
ReplyDelete@Larie: It's actually not too bad. In two coats it is opaque enough for me and the formula definitely isn't award-winning but it's not too hard to work with. I like it.
@KarenD: It was hard! I hate those brushes, not to mention it's getting a little stringy so it was definitely a challenge!
@Vintage: Yes, you do! They're so flattering!
Very nice :)
ReplyDeleteEven though it's simple, it is pretty and looking gorgeous! :)
ReplyDeleteAhaha Laura you totally inadvertently gave away today's post in that comment.
