This has got to be my most favorite and EASIEST look I’ve done. I wore a purple version of this look on Monday [refer back to "FirstDay" post]. Seriously, I love love LOVE this look. From far away it looks like a bad paint job, but when you look closely, it’s beauty. It’s like a painting on a canvas. ^-^ So here’s a tutorial on Abstract Nails.
Inspiration: paintings I’ve seen before. Reminder of that inspiration: a skirt I got from Urban Outfitters. I love this skirt. I don’t have a picture of it right now, but it’s one of those ones you sit high on your waist. The skirt is made by Kimchi Blue, one of my favorite brands sold at UO.

One coat base coat. Two thin coats of color.

Add a stroke of two or three different colors randomly. Express yourself. It’s art!
Lol. Or just copy what I did here. =P

I layered a few shimmery polishes. [I always put shimmer/glitter on my designs]
Now, choose a color that’s matte and totally opposite in shade than your base. Here I chose a bright pinkish, red for my base. So for this step, I chose a matte navy blue so it really stands out. If your base color is really dark, almost black, then I would use a matte & opaque color for this step…like white or pastels.
When you pull your brush out of your bottle, make sure you wiped off pretty much all the polish off. Then paint your nails with dry strokes. You want those “stroke” lines to show. Then you can go back and grab more polish to add a few wet strokes.

Finish with topcoat. ^-^
