Andy Warhol (kind of) Nails

Thursday, December 26, 2013

Hi guys!

I have some kind of strange nails today, inspired by this post by Elle & ish. Yep, that's a banana. And an apple too! 


The gray base is Deborah Lippmann Pretty Vacant, which is actually a textured polish -- unfortunately I had to put top coat over these, so I lost most of the texture. 


And to get an idea of where this is coming from, here's 1966 Andy Warhol image:

Now it's time for some photo spam!

Of course I had to take a photo with a real apple ...

This looks kind of strange because the gray polish I used was textured.


I feel like the apple looks kind of odd, but I do like the banana :) 

Thanks for reading & be sure to let me know what you think!

  3. You did a beautiful job, looking at the artist picture and then the banana it does look like it! :) I think I really like it with the texture. It's different for sure but in every good way :) xx

    1. Thanks! Yeah, I wanted to use a nice cream sorta polish for the base (like My Vampire is Buff) but I realized I actually didn't have any off-white creamy polishes (that needs to be rectified, haha)!

  7. That banana looks really good! Loving the new layout and the header as well. It's simple and it doesn't distract you from the cool nail art you've got going on.

  8. Totally loving how you made the inspiration your own! And I do love the colour scheme of your mani. In my opinion, the grey background helped made this whole nail art look gorgeous and arty! What else can I say? That's artwork on your nails! ♥
