Finally Inspired

    Bum bada dum! The long-awaited nail post!  Now, I know what you're all thinking ("Geez Hannah, we wouldn't have to have waited so long, but you just didn't seem able to get your rear in gear and paint those silly  fingernails of yours!").  I PROMISEEEE that I'll be more on top of things this week.  I just wasn't feeling all that inspired!  So now, as I'm typing with my super chic, brand new polish job, I feel pretty gosh darn good about myself.
    Anyways, I went to Forever 21 yesterday, and among other things, I bought tights.  6 pairs of tights, to be exact.  But one of these pairs of tights was special.  They caught my eye, and just like that, I was inspired!  "Immortalize me on your fingernails," they called, "Make me art!"  And so I did.

 They were beautiful...

Little gold studs...

    We begin with materials : Sally Hansen "Sheerly Mauve", Maybelline "Bold Gold", "Porcelain Party", and Top Coat.  You'll also need an old tupperware lid, and something to make dots with.  

Materials

    Start by polishing your nails white.  Only do one coat, it doesn't need to be super thick or look pretty.  This step just helps to cover up any blemishes or flaws in your natural nail and get more consistent color from the neutral tone.  

     Wait a little bit for the white to dry.  This will keep the next coat from looking clumpy and rough underneath.  Polish your fingernails with the neutral tone, I needed two coats to get the color I was looking for.  One less was too light, and one more would've been too dark for my tastes.  To each their own though.

    Put a couple drops of the gold polish onto the tupperware lid.  Using the pencil/cuticle pusher-backer tool/whatever you want to use for making dots, make little gold dots on your nails.  Make them ordered, they shouldn't be just random.  I made two or three dots at the tips of each nail, and placed the next dots in the spaces between them so that I could be sure to have equal space between them.  Think bricks.

     Slap a topcoat on, and you're done!  PAM them after a couple minutes to speed up drying times.

The final masterpiece :)

    Allright everybody!  Thanks for listening, and sorry again for the long wait.  It won't be so long again, I guarantee.  I only have four days of school this week, and two the next. Thank goodness for Thanksgiving!  I'll make a couple posts over the break.  Ya'll take care now!

   Comments make my day!
