Abstract Nail Art Challenge Day 11: Household Item

Today is day 10 in the Abstract Nail Art Challenge! Were heading into some of the more 'different' criteria in the challenge, today's being a household item. I was thinking about what to use for this challenge and wanted to try something a little different. There are a couple different things I was thinking of using, first I thought about a straw, or saran wrap, maybe tinfoil? Then I got this crazy idea into my head. What if I used a hairbrush? So I used a hairbrush to come up with this mani!

To create the hairbrush look I started off with 2 coats of Color Club Metamorphosis. Once this had dried I added a coat of Barielle Grape Escape and then added Color Club Wing Fling. Before this had dried I grabbed my hair brush and made strokes through the polish. It ended up being a really interesting effect I think. 

On some places on my nail I didn't wait long enough for Metamorphosis to dry so the brush ended up going through to the bottom of my nail. Although this was not my original intent I actually think having a little bare nail looks kind of cool! What do you think?

The end result of this was kind of fun! I think the glassflecks in the Color Clubs really help bring a couple dimensions to this manicure which I think looks pretty darn cool. Yup I just said darn, I sound like such an old lady lol. 


What do you think of my hairbrush nails?! Did I go too far in using a hair brush or would you try something like this? I'd love to hear what you think of my hairbrush nails.
