Plain colored nails are classic and they never go out of style. However, plain nails can sometimes get boring, especially when you use the same colors, over and over again. If you want to add some spice to your nails, you can always turn to your creative side and create awesome nail art designs.
Lately, I have been practicing a bunch of nail art designs using some old nail polishes that I have in my stash. At first I was just doing simple dots and flowers using the tip of an old ballpoint pen. However, my creative side wanted to go further. I started exploring freehand nail art using some of the acrylic paints lying around my room, which by the way, has been with me since college. I was surprised that they still work just as fine. I've made a bunch of designs already, but honestly, they weren't good enough. But an artist never quits, does she? I challenged myself to create something that I can be proud of. And so five bottles of acetone, wasted nail polishes and acrylic paints, and a motherload of backache later, I finally have a decent freehand nailart.
Presenting, my cuddly, little bears!
Would you believe that it took me six attempts to come up with this design? The process of creating the bear was fairly easy, but being the OC that I am, I wanted to make sure that the bear would look cute in every angle. I almost gave up! After my
(failed) 5th attempt, I told myself, unless I achieve the bear that I want, I won't get my weekly chocolate indulgence for a month. Chocolates are indeed my weakness because in less than 10 minutes, I finally had cutie bears on my accent nails.
