A little while back I saw a nail look on tumblr that was a tribal/ aztec print, but was on all nails. Unfortunately, I don't have any nail brushes, and so I figured I would try to just do the look on one nail so it would be easier. let me tell you.. it was not easy without nail paint brushes haha.
the base color I used was OPI's Whats with the Cattitude? and I used 2 coats
I then tried to do some sort of combination of zig zags and dots ? all with a dotting tool.. and I guess each didn't dry long enough before I put on the next cause I kinda just globbed everything on, and so its sloppy looking.
The purple in the center is OPI's Rumples Wiggin'
so maybe after I eventually buy nail art brushes, I will try a look sort of like this again, and hopefully it will turn out better.. at least I like the base color lol
so what do you think of tribal print nails or in this case a tribal print accent nail? have you ever tried it before? do you own nail brushes?
