Comic Book-Style Star Bursts

2/13/2013

The best word to describe this mani is 'frustrating'.  I haven't been this irritated with a design since the Mario Mushrooms I did with the same green polish.  My downfall was definitely rushing through it so I could get to bed at a reasonable hour.  All in all it took about 3 hours to complete, and really, it should have been more.  Instead of letting the black & silver polishes fully dry when I had the tape on, I almost immediately took the tape off and that peeled the points of the star busts off with it.  I had to go back and touch a lot of it up, and even still, it didn't turn out so great.  I really wanted this design to come out looking pristine because it's just so cute!  But lesson learned - don't rush a cute mani.

Side note:  Never use Sally Hansen Complete Manicure polishes when you are doing a light color on top of it.  The silver looked fine before I put the top coat on, but after the top coat, the silver turned into a greenish-yellow (the same thing happened when I used this polish for the Mario Mushrooms).  It must be the top coat that they include in the polish that discolors anything you put on top of it.

    About Bailey

    I'm 29 years old and I just moved to New York City with my boyfriend and little monster dog.  I've been doing nail art off and on since I was a kid...that's about 17 years!  But I really got back to it about 3 years ago. 
    As you can probably tell, my inspiration comes from my love of TV shows, movies, games, and other miscellaneous pop culture.
