Today is Day 1 in the Geometric Challenge and the theme for today is Square. I had a bunch of different ideas sketched out but kept coming back to this image that I found on Shutterstock.
I was hoping for the optical illusion to come out a little more, but I think it still looks cool! I used my go to white Milani White On The Spot and then with my teeny cut down nail art brush drew on the straight lines with China Glaze Hanging In The Balance. Then I went back with Essence Walk On Air and added in the squares in each line moving each one back and forth slightly to to try for that slanted optical illusion.
I'm so mad that my top coat bubbled on these! I did them after a few swatches and I guess my top coat had been open just a little too long. Damn. These took a hella long time so there was no way that I was redoing these bad boys.
These squares might be a little more rectanglish, but a square is just a kind of rectangle so it all works out right ;)
Overall I love these and just wish my top coat hadn't bubble. Daaamn you NYC!
I can't wait to see what else the rest of my fabulous challenge buddies have come up with! Make sure you check out what they have done! :D

DeleteA while ago I tried doing this optical illusion on one of my nails, but yours tired out much better! It hard to capture the "optical illusion-ness" of it, but I think yours turned out pretty good!
ReplyDeleteoh thanks so much! It is hard to capture on one nail I really think there has to be on all nails to get the illusion unless you have super long ones!
DeleteGreat job! Such an interesting inspiration and fantastic manicure! :-)
ReplyDeletethank you so much Raggio di Luna :)
