Slow Down, Don't RUSH more!

Hey all!! Guess what today is? (Besides a day I got off of work?) PRESIDENT'S DAY! (Hence the day off work!!) In honor of the holiday, I decided to do my depiction of Mt. Rushmore on my nails.. :-P They're immortalized on money, in stone, and now in nail polish. ;)



I used Orly Mirror, Mirror as a base, and mixed with varying amounts of Zoya Raven for line work and shading. For the sky, I used Zoya Yummy. Topped everything off with 2 coats of Seche Vite top coat.

Happy President's Day! :)

For Your Thoughts.

Hey everyone! Guess whose birthday it is today? I'll give a hint... he'd be 201 years old today. He sported a lovely beard. He was assassinated by John Wilkes Booth. ;) Ok, if you haven't figured it out yet, its Abe Lincoln!! :-P In honor of our 16th President's birthday, I decided to do penny nails, since he's on both sides!! :-P It didn't turn out as well as I'd hoped, because I quickly discovered it is very hard to paint the detail of a penny on a fingernail with a nail art brush. :-P it'd have to be like a single bristled art brush! lol



I used Milani Sassy Brassy, which to me looks more like copper, as a base, with a mixture of Zoya Raven, Zoya Angelina and Nubar Milk Chocolate Creme for the linework, and Zoya Raven for the black background, topped with Essie Matte About You. Penny art was topped off with 2 coats of Seche Vite top coat to really make 'em shine. ;)

Now, how about your 2¢?
