Starry Night

I love having fun with my manis and if I have the time, rest assured I will do my best to make it elaborate. Tiny paint brushes seem to be my tool of choice lately so I decided to try my hand at an oft-replicated (imitated?) piece of art -- Van Gogh's Starry Night.

Starry Night - Van Gogh

I have zero experience painting anything but my nails so this was a challenge for me. And I like challenges.

Direct sun (looks super bright...I think Blogger is messing with my colors)

Indirect sun

I'm really happy with how this turned out. It's not perfect, but that's okay. It's my interpretation. :) This is one of those manis that I'd like to revisit sometime to work on improving. Maybe some painting lessons along the way just for fun.

BONUS! WOOHOO! I didn't want to do the same thing on my right hand (was getting tired) so I opted for a vertical gradient using the same colors. I'm not sure how I feel about it, but at least it coordinates with my left hand (and didn't take hours to accomplish). 

I'd love to try my hand (ha!) at something you'd like to see. Any requests for particular artwork? 

Thanks for reading!
