31 Day Challenge: Day 16

21 08 2013

Hey there! I thought this task was an interesting one to include in the challenge. Tribal prints are very big in Hawaii, more so as tattoos. I used my husband’s tribal tattoo as my inspiration for this nail art. I painted designs from the lower half of my husband’s tattoo.

I started with two coats of OPI A-Taupe The Space Needle. I then used Sally Hansen Nail Art Pen Black to draw on the different tribal designs. I finished with OPI Matte Top Coat so that my mani was more like an actual tattoo.

This is my second attempt at using the Sally Hansen Nail Art Pen. I feel like I had a lot of control using the pen, but I would have liked to have been able to draw finer lines. Maybe with more practice I will be able to, but it seems as if not enough polish/ink is put down with a thinner line.
