SWIRLY WHIRLY




Materials:

Silver nail polish;
Nail top & base coat;
A waterproof black pen;
Some creativity;
A lot of boredom;
Soap and lots of water.

Method:

Start by coating your nails with the nail base coat. Let it dry and apply the silver nail polish. Apply as many coats of silver as necessary, but allow them to dry in between. Afterwards, take your waterproof black pen and create your own design. If you think the colour isn't strong enough retrace the design with the same pen as many times as it takes. Let it dry and apply the nail top coat. I usually recommend a minimum of 5 coats in all (and a maximum of 12 coats) - 1 base, 1 nail polish, and 3 top coat - as they last longer.
I usually recommend total number of coats (base + nail polish + top coat) should be 5 to 10 coats as it lasts longer. (In my case it can last up to two weeks. And in case you're thinking I don't do anything; yes, I do! I do all the domestic work...without gloves.)
Use the boredom you've accumulated and start painting your hands with the same pen you used before. So that they match, be sure to use the same design as you used on your nails.
Be proud of your work, take some pictures. And off you go to wash everything off.

Have fun!
