The Nail Art Guild: Time And Space

Hello lovelies!

Now, that the OMD2 challenge is over it's back to my normal posting schedule. Except I decided that I will no longer be posting on the weekends. I think this will be easier for me to keep up with during the school year and I can use the weekends to get photos and posts prepared for the week. If I have something exciting that I can't wait to share than I'll post it whenever but it won't be a regular thing, like there might be something up tomorrow.....and there might be something secret in the works that will require posts every other Sunday, but that's a secret so shhhhh! Who knows, you'll see (;

And I haven't written an intro that long in a while.....whoops, onto the nails!

The Nail Art Guild is back today and the theme is Time & Space! Or just space in my case....

Here's what I used:

Okay, so that bottle shot looks a little bit empty but I used acrylic paint for the design and didn't think to put the bottles in the photo. Would you guys want to see them in the bottle shots? Let me know!

My space design was inspired by this space pattern that I found. These nails started with 2 coats of Natty and a layer of HK Girl. I then used a small detail brush and acrylic paint to paint the design. I found if I painted the astronaut shape to scale on a piece of paper first, it made it easier to imagine it on my nail. Everything was sealed with another layer of HK Girl

I really love these nails! I'm always afraid to try and paint more detailed, freehand designs on my nails and I end up talking myself out of trying it but not this time! I've been pushing myself the past couple of nights to do nail art that I'm really proud of and I can't wait to show you guys, I hope you're ready! (:
