The Nailasaurus Is My Idol

Not only does she make killer designs on her nails, but her nails are tres chic short!  She's a lady who respects the fingerpads, and for that, I am forever grateful.  Sammy the Nailasaurus, you are the best.

Groveling aside, I had read a couple of her "glequin" posts, also known as hex glitter, and threw my money at the Internet to get a set of my own in a few colors.  The day the package came in, I sat down to do a variation of what she has mastered, and I was fairly impressed with it, for a first try!

Gold Holo Glequins over Color Club Nothing But Truffle (told you I loved it)
In the shade, it almost looks black, or maybe a deep burgundy, and those babies are G-O-L-D.

Holo!  Shimmer!  Favorite Brown!  GENIUS GORGEOUS (a little crooked) FLAWLESS LOVELY!!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

I stared at my hands all day.  No lie.  Both hands took maybe fifteen minutes, and I think with a little practice, I can get them fairly straight.  Just pour a few out, dip a toothpick in some topcoat, coat your nail, and get to it.  The possibilities are endless, so expect to see a lot of hex art in the coming weeks.  I love it.
