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.
Ooh! These are so awesome! I used to be so obsessed with Tetris I would see it in my sleep lol.
ReplyDeleteThat looks so cool! Tetris was my favorite game as a kid!

ReplyDeleteHaha this is fantastic! I love tetris too, I sometimes play it to kill 5 minutes here and there :D
ReplyDeletethanks everyone!
ReplyDeleteprettymynails - 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!
I love Tetris! This mani is so original.
