Year of the Geometric Snake

Hey there guys!!! Happy Chinese New Year (to all those who celebrate :))!!! We had all our festivities last night, food a plenty ;) I wasn't sure whether I was going to do a design or not, it was on the back of my mind but I wasn't really thinking. But I felt geometric (cause that's feeling) and I had a design in mind so I went for it.

I made it matte cause I love matte nails. I looked up some geometric patterns and copied a triangle one. I love the way geometric patterns look, so cool!!! The snake wasn't meant to look shoehorned in, but in hindsight it does look shoehorned in. Doesn't mean I don't like it, I like it very much. I kind of randomly painted a snake and thankfully it worked (I love when that happens). He's a cute one (if I do say so myself).

You can't really see the pale blue which kind of annoys me but I was determined not to use a darker blue, I'm not too fussed though, design was still fine.

Thank you for reading and have a lovely day!!!! :D

"White Rabbit" with some tribal elements

Hey there guys, I should have a cup of inspiration as I am definitely lacking recently. I didn't have the best of days, you know negative people and stuff. But I feel way better than before now. White Rabbit is (I think) a chinese sweet with a layer of edible paper around it. It tastes SO GOOD, recently I got a hold of them and have been treasuring each one. I ate the final White Rabbit sweet after I finished the design :( No more left. I used the packaging as inspiration, I've just realised this is another food inspired post.

I used pale yellow as that's the colour of the sweet. I was originally really unhappy with how the bunny came out as I didn't put it straight and regretted the decision to do that. But now I like it. I made the tribal designs myself, which could be which they look a bit weird, but I'm proud of my attempt, weirdness is a start.

Sheer Lemon's formula wasn't too great, 3 coats was still a bit streaky so I did 4, but it's a nice colour. And I didn't use Dutch Tulips for once ;)

Thank you very much for reading and have a lovely day!! :)
