Todays nails were inspired by something a lot of people in real life say to me when talking about my nails. Whenever I talk to people I get a, 'Wow! how do you come up with that to put on your nails? How are you so creative?' The other day I got to thinking about creativity. The whole right brain, left brain thing. Your right brain supposed to be the more creative side and the left brain the more logical. And the idea popped into my head. Why not represent that on my nails?!
What I was going for was showing the logical side on my left nails and the creative brain on the right. The create the left brain I used Sally Hansen White On as a base and then did a gradient with NYC Sidewalkers and Maybelline Color Show Impeccable Greys. Then I took my handy Black Stripe Rite Striper and drew on the brain. I added some shading with my White Stripe Rite Striper then mattified the two nails with Essie Matte About You.
For my creative brain nails I started with the same gradient but then added a rainbow using Red Stripe Rite Striper, Essence Wanna Be Your Sunshine, Essence Wake Up!, Essie Pretty Edgy and Sally Hansen Blue Me Away! Then I added the brain using my black and white stripers. Using the striper I added some cartoon shapes on my pinky and behind the brain. My goal was to have the colour and ideas look like it was exploding from the brain! I topped off my right two nails with Cult Nails Wicked Fast, which I am absolutely loving!
This got me thinking to whether or not I actually am right brained. I have always loved drawing, I grew up dancing and theres this whole obsession with nail art thing, but I am in school for a mainly scientific program that does not allow for a ton of creativity. So I found an online test to determine if you are left brained or right brained! Turns out I am 39% left brained and 61% right brained! So I actually am a little creative according to The Art Institute of Vancouver!
I really liked the final outcome of these nails. I don't believe in anyway that if you are left brained you are boring, or don't have amazing ideas, I was just going off the stereotype! This isn't something that looks amazing when it isn't all lined up, but I liked the outcome regardless :)
What do you think of my 'creative' nails? Do you want to take the test I took to see how right and left brained you are? Take it here! I would love to know your scores!
Hope you're all having a fabulous Tuesday! Thanks so much for stopping by!
Awesome idea Stephanie! VERY creative ;)
ReplyDeleteI like when people do nail art that creates a mural across the nails when they are put together, but because I'm self-diagnosed with OCD it kind of drives me batty when I have my nails so that there is something different on each nail, lol!
Thanks Erica! LOL! Oh no! I love when every nail is completely different! Hope you'll still like me :)

Awesome!
DeleteI like this concept a lot. The right-brained vs. left-brained thing has always been interesting to me, especially since I'm a lefty. I may need to take the test just to see.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Love to hear your score! It's always fascinated me too!
