With February drawing to a close, I wanted to do a nail look to commemorate Black History Month. I always plan to do a really pretty and complicated look for this, because BHM is near and dear to my heart, but then I'm always too busy and end up rushing it at the end. This year was no exception unfortunately, but I did like what I ended up with.
It was as easy as it looks LOL.
I started with two layers of China Glaze Go Crazy Red and let that dry for about twenty minutes. Then I put a thick layer of Gelous on my ring finger, let it get tacky, put in the green and black gems, and finished off all my nails with a layer of Barielle's quick drying topcoat.
Easy peasy.
Ottlite, no flash.
Sunlight, no flash.

I hate how I always get bubbling with jewels. -__-

After finishing it and thinking about it, I do wish that I had done some things differently, because it did come out kind of overly simple, and doesn't really read Black History Month. Like, I feel like you would have to think about the colors to get the connection, which isn't good. The one I did last year was more obvious, so I think I liked it better. But besides that, I think this came out pretty well and enjoyed wearing it. I also got some good wear out of it...I've had it on since Monday, and it still looks pretty presentable, so I am satisfied.
And that's all from me today! Thanks for reading, and have an awesome Friday!
I'm going to go watch Coral Reef Adventure in IMAX at the Smithsonian, so I'm really excited. ^_^
