I have to agree with Ryan on this, these nails were a pain in the booty!!!! I thought she was joking when she posted that if you were a neurosurgeon to go for it. Boy, oh boy, did they take a steady hand! I'm thinking it was partially due to my striper which is sooooooo long. It was a brush I had from a nail art polish which dried up a long time ago. I threw out the polish but kept the brush and have been using it for awhile. It has always bugged me how long it was, and I never thought of cutting it down. Megan ( @PaintinRainbows ) gave me the brilliant idea of going to Michaels and purchasing regular paint brushes and cutting them down to size. I took her advice and purchased 7 different brushes and I cannot wait to use them! Hopefully it will make designs like this one easier!
