How to Sort of Do Nail Art

In my quest to figure out how to bedeck my nails in a chic fashion, I have stumbled on “What Not to Do” and now I’m in the realm of “Sorta Kinda Am Figuring This Crap Out.”

First, start off with a simple design. Something that only requires blobs and streaks. Turns out cheetah print is basically that. Nailed it!

Second, if you don’t have the *exact* color match for the look you’re going for… Just use whatever you want and say you’re doing a unique version. Since I have neither a beige, white or black… I just went ahead with orange, red, and glitter black.

Third, when the design doesn’t *quite* look like cheetah print because you screwed up all the colors, just tell everyone it’s a new trend called “abstract nail art.” That’s right, I’m telling you to LIE.

And this is why I will never work in a professional nail salon. Ever.

Nail polishes used were all from Deborah Lippmann: “Hot Child in the City”, “Black Magic Woman”, and “Great Balls of Fire”
