31DC2014 Day 24: Inspired By A Book

I'm back! I finally got everything set up the way I wanted it to and I think I've figured out my schedule enough to blog regularly again! While I don't have any new nail art to post (since I haven't had the chance to do any), I still have the rest of the 31 Day Nail Challenge to post (shocking, I know). Hopefully, since the challenge is still going on right now, I can jump in and do a few days here and there. Anyway, here's day 24 of the challenge from last year:

Polishes used:

Sally Hansen Insta-Dri OMGhost (white crème)

Wet n' Wild Black Crème (black crème)

In case you don't know what this book is, it's The Missing Piece by Shel Silverstein. I chose this book as my inspiration because it was probably my favorite book growing up. I always loved anything Shel Silverstein wrote, but The Missing Piece was by far my favorite.

So for this nail art, I started with two coats of white and waited for that to dry. Then I took a really thin nail art brush (one that I trimmed myself) and painted a (slightly) bumpy line across each nail. I had to line up my hand just right while painting so the line looked like it continued from nail to nail. Once that was done, I painted the circle with the same thin nail art brush on my index finger. After that, I actually "erased" some of the line that was on my ring finger (I painted over some of it with white) so I could paint the wedge. Once I was finished with the wedge, I topped everything off with a coat of Essie's Good to Go top coat.

I love how this turned out. I think it's just so stinking cute! This day of the challenge was definitely one of my favorites by far!

Thanks for reading!
