flames

Had a little bit of fun yesterday when I finally took out my nail polish brushes. Wanted to start with something fairly easy, trying to make flames on my nails. For a first try my left hand came out quite decent (as I painted with my right hand). My right hand is a totally different story, it is a total mess. Not surprising. But practice makes perfect so I guess I just have to continue trying.

What you do is you paint on a thick layer of the background color, make some strokes of your other color at the tip of your nail. Then you take your brush and paint flames by dragging the gray color in a sweeping motion up into the pink color. Easy as that. At least it looks easy when someone else does it...
