Stress Nail aka Brush Stroke Nails

I so love these nails and they were sooo easy to do and no tools were needed besides a toothpick to do the cleanup.

I got the inspiration for these from Sarah of Chalkboard Nails - her blog is off the chain so make sure you click on the link and check her out.

Well let's get right to it - all colors used were by SinfulColors continuing my neon theme.  For my base coat I used two coats of TimbleBerry which is a orange creme with a tint of pink more so on the coral side.

After I applied my base color I used the following colors to apply the brush strokes:

• Innocent - Neon Lime
• Dream On - Matte Magenta
• Rise and Shine - Blue with a hint of Green
• Ice Ice Baby - Clear base chrome blue glitter

After your base coat is dry or tacky you can began your random brush strokes as I did here:

I was sooo stressed out while I was doing my nails but overall I think they turned out ok....next time I try them I will make sure I get more coverage of the base along the edges.

So apparently i'm really late because I had no idea until recently that we had a Garrett's Popcorn Shop on the south side of Chicago located at 87th Cottage Grove so to celebrate my popcorn fetish - The Chicago Mix I polished my daughters nails orange and gold.  I didn't like the color combination to much at first but it grew on me.


The colors I used were as follow:

• SinfulColors - All About You #921
• Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear - Sun Kissed #150
