Oh geez. A walk down memory lane alright, haha. As I tried to think of what design to do and show an improvement in, I passed on this one multiple times! I just kept thinking I had done it much more than I actually had. Funny thing about recreations though, in a few years I'll probably look back on this mani and think how terrible it is too. But that's such a good thing! You want to notice a difference! You want to see a drastic difference because that's how you know all that practice is paying off.





Base: Pipedream Polish On The List

Color Workshop black & white striper

Top Coat: Seche Vite Topcoat & Butter London Matte



There really isn't any special trick to doing this mani besides having patience and working slowly. This was actually my first time attempting this with a striper and actual polish. In the past I needed more control and felt it was easier with acrylic paint. Definitely just go with what you feel comfortable with, you need as much of a steady hand as possible.

Hiya guys! I hope you all had a good weekend. I didn't do too badly myself, narrowly escaped another ER visit so I'm really thankful for that. Dear headaches could you kindly not right now, I'm trying to catch up on my arts! Haha. If only it were that simple. But I did manage to do my Day 4 ofWeek for the Digital Dozen and it's another throwback recreation. Today we're are going way back to 2013 again and doing... cartoon nails!Even my camera was like "...damnnn girl" and couldn't focus well enough for a crisp photo haha. I am so happy with how this turned out that I plan on keeping these on for a few days as well. Matte was definitely the way to go way this mani, don't you think?Personally, I think neon or just bright colors in general work best for this kind of cartoon look. If you camera is anything like mine it'll disagree and be a stubborn little thing that doesn't want to focus haha. Now that I think back, the first ever cartoon nails I saw were this neon kind of pink and it's what made me fall in love with the look in the first place.Now here's a break down of everything else I used to create this mani:
