The Book of Madness

A collection of random thoughts that are bound to become specific

I did Sephora’s Glamour is the Point look with some modifications.

Instead of using white as a base, I kept them “naked” by only using a base coat. Then I added black and white stripes with Art Club’s Nail Stripers.

On my left hand, I outlined the white with the Migi Art Pen in black. I attempted the thin outline on my right thumb. Bad idea! My left hand is too wiggly to do thin lines with!

I’ll try this again, but next time I’ll only use the Black Art Club striper brush.

I bought the Migi art pens to try them out. I added leopard spots to my current mani to try out the black pen. I wish I were ambidextrous, my right hand took forever to finish!

I like how the Migi nail art pens work, they’re easy to use. Just don’t do this: I got a big bubble of polish on my right ring finger after I opened the twist cap to show my sister the brush. I put the cap back on and started to draw. When I went to draw a dot, a big bubble of polish came out. Crisis was averted when I used a Nail Tee to pick up some of the black.

TIP, don’t open the brush if you are drawing with the pen!

TIP, if it bubbles when you take the cap off, poke the cleaner pin into the tip and leave it in, clean the tip, remove pin and then draw.

I didn’t wait for the Migi art to dry so I used Seche Vite. Oh man, it dragged the nail art! I thought Seche Vite wasn’t supposed to do that. Why did my art get all streaked?
