Here, have a #macro =) @laqueristachallenge week 47: #SugarspunNails I used the Jackson Pollock painting Number 17, 1949 for inspiration. Base color is @dancelegendofficial "Sundogs." Splatters are @klpolish "Mojito," @zoyanailpolish "Carey," KL Polish "Snickerdoodle," and @sinfulcolors_official "Black on Black." I buffed them #matte after the (several layers) of top coat had dried to help smooth them out. =) I actually did these nails on my first ever #twitchcreative #livestream. I'm musigal over there if you want to check it out. =) #jacksonpollock #nailart #nailpolish #LaqueristaChallenge #TheCWasSoldToPayForPolish #inspiredbyart https://www.instagram.com/p/BuFQ5ZFgKfC/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=dn0bn2li5sxk

Day 1 was "Follow a Tutorial" - I decided to try a technique I've seen lots of places but had not given a shot yet - Sugar Spun Nails.  It's a simple technique, you let a small amount of polish dry to the point of being gloopy and then using a toothpick pull the polish over your already painted nails (use a dark base color for light lines). I really loved the look & the 3D effect it had IRL.
