Hello, all! If you've all been doing your homework, you'll have figured out that I'm from Simon Fraser University, and that SFU has an extremely boring logo. You'll also see on my Twitter that I don't agree with them sometimes (like when they try to make impressionable high school students buy apps)...
(They paid a lot of money for that MSPaint job too. It's embarrassing.)
Any-hoo, I'm too old for my old high school, and it'd have made kind of a boring nail too.
Alright, so I wracked my brains. All my little brains!
And I found this.
Gonna be honest, I'm a little ashamed.
After laughing/crying, I put on my big girl pants and decided on a design. I did use a reference picture. Now think, what part of that embarrassment (all in good fun) is usable....?
And using Revlon Get Reddy as a base of course, I added on some stripes.
So the first step here, I used Nyx Las Vegas and with its normal brush, swiped on two perpendicular stripes. Since LV is a dark green jelly I got a nice overlapped green square on MOST nails =) I'm pretty proud of my cleverness here.
After that I used my little paintbrush and striped in Essence Let's Get Lost and Ulta Snow White.
Uhh, let's try that again.
Like I mentioned in the Revlon Get Reddy post, it does look a lot better with topcoat, so I used my Ulta X-Dry to just give it a little extra UNF.
I also want to take this moment to say that unless I mention it, there's no topcoat when I take pictures. I usually add topcoat after (which ruins everything with its bubbliness) but the pics are usually just the shiny nail polish gorgeousness <3
So what do you think? Plaid is easier than it looks guys!
Check out everyone else's entry! There's a lot more school related spirit going on with them than with me =P
