Abstract Tetris Nails Did

Trying to do nails that look like Tetris has been on my mind for a while. And today Ben reminded me of the idea.


Also, I LOVE Tetris. Its such a time killer. I've always liked those speed puzzle games and a lot of my childhood was wasted challenging my uncle to either Tetris or Dr. Mario. I'd always win of course.


So I used a lot of colours for this so I'll just list them:
China Glaze:
Neon Purple Panic
For Audrey
Sexy in the City
Solar Power
Liquid Leather

OPI Thrill in Brazil
Nubar Green Tea

To start I painted grids on my nails (over a base coat) with a pen. Then with a striper brush I started to fill in the grid. I also started to paint in the empty areas with black but it actually didn't look right at all so I redid my thumb and left the blank areas blank.
Then I accidently topped it with Seche before I remembered to erase the remaining grid lines. Thus the "abstract" part of my title.

I think they came out pretty cool, although I'm sure that if I didn't tell you it was Tetris maybe you couldn't tell LOL.

thanks everyone!

prettymynails - well, i find that the faster I draw/paint my lines on the other hand the better they come out. If i take my time then they come out shakey. it takes a lot of practice but its funny how you hand becomes more steady over time!
