Musical Mayhem!

 I was in the mood to play around with newspaper transfer again, but I love doing it with sheet music. I knew I'd mess up a few times, so I just used my right hand as practice first. It's still passable...ish. Heh!

 I started out with three coats of Nicole by OPI Others Pale by Kim-parison  on my thumb, index, and pinky nails. On my middle and ring fingers I used ORLY Rock the World, which is a very awesome shimmery polish that shifts from purple to mauve to gold. Once the cream was super dry, I pulled out the sheet music and some rubbing alcohol. It takes a lot of pressure to transfer the design correctly, but when it works it is so worth it!

Once the transfer step was complete, I used ORLY Platinum across the tips of those three fingers. I traced the border in a dark gray Shany nail art polish and a gold Sinful Colors nail art polish. I then brushed a diagonal line of Platinum across my middle and ring nails, then also bordered that in dark gray and gold. I actually thought I was finished for a while, but at the last moment I added on some Icing Milky Way across those bands, since it kind of looks like notes! As a final touch, I added a gold treble clef to my thumb nail.

Day 3: Sheet Music

 Day 3 of my self-challenge is here. This is my first attempt at trying the newspaper nail transfer method! It's totally easier than I had expected and worked really well once I got the hang of it. My right hand turned out much better than my left, after I'd had that little bit of practice. If I do this again I'll definitely use a less sheer polish. Took quite a few layers to get the polish this opaque, and took that a bit to dry enough for me to smoosh paper all over it.

Colors Used:
