Afterlife Architecture


A little while ago, I went with my family to the Museum of Native Americans (I'm not quite sure if that's actually what it's called, but that's the sort of information and art that they have on exhibit at all times), and decided to take some photos of the interior architecture. One of those photos really inspired me last week to try something funky yet dark on my nails.

Here is the photo:

I wanted to capture a bit of the architecture of this building on my nails in more of an abstract way, so I came up with the idea that you see above. This look was obtained by first applying one coat of NK's Calcium Gel, followed by a single coat of NK's Metallic Noir. The right upper corner of the nails were swiped with one coat of Sally Hansen Hard As Nails Xtremewear's Wet Cement, while the bottoms of the nails were swiped with one coat of Nail Hardener's Jessica's Wedding Bells. The finishing touches were put on by horizontal quick strokes made with Revlon's White on White along the upper left region of the nail and a vertical stripe of NK's Metallic Noir between the white strokes and the grey triangle on each nail. This was all followed with two coats of Sally Hansen Maximum Growth plus Quick Dry Top Coat.

I hope that you all like the photograph, and the look it inspired! Have a good week everyone!
