31DC2015 - Day 24; Stepen King inspired nail art 02

This challenge doesn't have many days left but today it's nail art inspired by books and again I decided to be inspired by a Stephen King book. :D (Here's my previous King nail art)

This time I went for the Firestarter and a graphical book cover for it. The nail art it self is very simple, just some freehand text and matches with my dotting tool and some black opaque rhinestones. I think it looks quite graphical and cool even though I liked my other Stephen King nail art slight better. ;)

31DC2015 - Day 22; The distillers Drain The Blood inspired nail art

Day 22 in the 31 day challenge is inspired by a song and I decided to get inspired by The distillers - Drain The Blood. It's a punk rock band with the main singer being Brody Dalle. I tried finding some information about the "meaning" of the song and some suggested her breakup with the boyfriend, but it could also have other meanings, nonetheless I think that the nail art I created fit quite good. ;)

In a city, that swells with so much hate
You seem to rise above and take its place
The heart pumps until it dies
Drain the blood, the heart is wise

I freehanded my pointer and long finger and the rest is done with the straw method creating a splatter. And then some spike studs, which sat surprisingly good but I imagine they would go quite fast with some kind of serious activity, like breathing. ;) Super happy with these, hope you'll like them too!

31DC2015 - Day 19; Galaxy + otep inspired nail art

Today it's the galaxy theme in 31dc2015. And yea, galaxies are nice and all that, I don't mind them but somehow it feels like they often just look more of less the same all the time. Of all the prompts in the 31dc I've on previous years often find my self thinking that it's the least versatile nail art of them all.

So I'm always trying to do something else, but "galaxy inspired". My galaxy involves a whole bunch of stars, both in black and gold, also some plus and dots as "stars"(?).  All in a red background. Something else is also happening and since I'm also joining the #musicpolishfestival challenge (by Lakobotan and Leedyz) (yes I know, 3 challenges in the same month!) and therefor I also wanted to incorporate a singer in this. My choice was Otep Shamaya and I've always like the promo pic where's she is wearing the checked shirt, and black and red felt like a good color choice, partially because it has been used on albums and some videos too. And with a "deeper" interpretation the crosses also has a meaning to her position to church and christian religion. She has quoted "Art is my God, Music is my religion...".

Don't know if this made sense to you with the mishmash, let me know in the comment bar below. :)

And here's a little collage of it all. :)

NCC presents: Male inspired fashion nail art

Time for my 3rd inspired by fashion manicure for the Nail Challenge Collaborative. I decided for some male fashion and found something geometrical which I figured would look cool on the nails.

Design by Philip Lim (2015), source of image here.

To the nail art then, I was mostly inspired by the outfit of the gentlemen to to left and also found it to be fun if I could implement some negative space nail art, partly inspired by the gap on his knees and also that black thick line. So, on with striping tape which I later realized was too thin but also colored off some silver onto the nail art, which made it even less of a negative space.. For the rest of the nail art, it was mainly making freehand lines, which I'm usually quite good at, but I got a bit disappointed because both my black and white fineliners decided to die the thickness death while painting this so everything got a bit thicker and less crisp than I wanted. Still, not the worst thing I've ever done and geometrical is kinda fun to play around with. What do you think?

Red cartoon nails

I really like cartoon nails, this will be the 4th on the blog. This time the color combo is red, black and white. In some way the nail art is easy to make, on the other hand you need to be steady. This is a nail art which make me look at my nails a lot, everything looks funnier when stretching out the cartoon hands. ^^

Doesn't it look hilarious! ;)

I guess you haven't forgot that I'm also on instagram as @gelicnailart
Some time the pictures are different from here and sometime the same. ^^
