Slashy Shirt - #NailArtForNubs

Hello, Fireflies!

I like to change my nail polish a LOT.  Yeah, I know, you're feigning surprise.  If I'm going out, I like to have my nails be inspired by my outfit, so that's what I did for today's mani.

I started off with this gorgeous purple/berry holo from Northern Star Polish, Janus Rising.

I made some slashy swipes randomly across each nail with an iridescent blue nail striper.  This just looks strange! Thankfully, we're not done.

Milani Rapid Orchid looks like black, but it's really a dark grey-purple. It's just about black.  It's pretty much as close to black as you can get without actually being black.  My husband would look at it and say that it's black.

I think it looks better with the white highlights.  It breaks up the other colors.


Here's the shirt I was wearing.  I love how the blues pop out of the mani and the shirt when placed together.

This was fun and easy to do.  No rules, every nail is a little different, and no one can say you messed it up! Best of all, easily replicated on the non-dominant hand. Would you wear a slashy/messy nailart like this?


Two posts today!  If you missed it, I reviewed my March Birchbox subscription box.  Click here to see it!
