Why so Serious?

I have a very unsteady hand, which makes these nails look all the cooler! I splattered both the purple and the green, but if you have a steady hand you can paint "y so serious" on the nails.

Description

I have a very unsteady hand, which makes these nails look all the cooler! I splattered both the purple and the green, but if you have a steady hand you can paint "y so serious" on the nails.

Instructions

  1. Small photo 00020 1320432762

    first, paint all your nails black. you may want two coats, depending on the brand. let it dry completely!!

  2. Small photo 00021 1320433356

    paint a very thin layer of white or silver, you should be able to kind of see the black. Let it dry completely!!

    now the fun starts. put on a thick layer of purple. allow it to dry for a minute or two, but not completely. then take a tissue and smudge it a lot. wipe some off entirely, thin some out, just add texture to another, it's up to you! the point is to make it look messy. Then let the purple dry. Note: sorry it's rather hard to see, my webcam is crappy.

    now add some green. I had a mini brush, so just painted a little hear and there. If you have a steady hand, you can write "y so serious," that's ten letters! Let it dry Again, sorry for the bad quality

  5. this step is optional, but you'll probably want to add a top coat. enjoy your devious nails! why so serious?
