31DC2014 Day 22: Inspired By A Song

So it's been over a week since I posted anything... Um, whoops? Honestly the time just got away from me since I didn't do any nail art this week, even for the theme day at camp. This week was Pirates vs. Ninjas, and since I wore my Tae Kwon Do uniform on Tuesday, I painted my nails just matte black (at the request of my co-counselor). So, since I have no new content to post, here's the next day of the 31 Day Nail Challenge!

Polishes used:

Wet N Wild Black Crème (black crème, wOW WHat a shocker)

OPI Alpine Snow (white crème)
OPI Don't Touch My Tutu! (sheer white jelly)

I was inspired by the song Starlight by Muse, which is one of my all-time, if not, my favorite song ever. I started by painting two coats of black. Then I used a thin nail art brush and painted two diamond-ish star shapes on each nail. After that, I took the larger end of the green dotting tool from this set and placed a large dot of DTMT! right in the middle of the stars to make it look as if they were glowing. I finished by dotting different sized white dots in the empty black spaces, and sealed everything in with one coat of Essie Good to Go top coat.

Looking at this manicure now, I really with I could have added something else, like Fairy Dust by China Glaze. Especially with a name like Starlight, I feel like it should twinkle at least a little bit. I still really like this manicure, though! Especially since I think of my favorite song whenever I look at it. I'll definitely do it again, but next time with a little sparkle!

Thanks for reading!
