This blog is a skewed representation of my life based on the art on my fingers.
These are my natural nails and all designs are hand painted. All images are the property of me.

I commented to someone the other day that I've been doing some type of design on my nails for so long I feel obligated to continue. As I pondered that and stared at my chipping Dali nails I decided as a protest to myself I would do a straight colour nail. No sooner had it dried than I thought "That's dull, it needs SOMETHING." So I just did some swirls, as per usual they turned out much nicer on the right hand. And the only thing going through my mind while doing them was that immortal quote from the Simpsons: "As a young boy, I dreamed of being a baseball. But tonight I say, we must move forward, not backward; upward, not forward; and always twirling, twirling, twirling towards freedom!"
It came to my attention very recently that I haven't added any new photos lately and my first thought was, 'it's true, I changed them since the Dali ones and haven't uploaded photos.' That was followed by the realization that I never uploaded the Dali ones, so here they are! On the right hand the melting clocks. If I had my time back I would have done them all like the silver clock on the thumb. I didn't have the right shade for the gold ones to really show that they were melting over a ledge and the one hanging off the tree branch is much clearer. After one hand I was a bit tired of clocks so I did elements of his other works on the left hand.
Butterflies and their shadows, roses, and on the thumb the giraffe on fire. The smoke rising off the giraffe did not turn out particularly well.
