I LOVED this challenge! It was so fun to paint paint again, and I found beautiful inspiration in this painting by Pol Ledent:
About 2 hours and a ton of polishes later, here was the result of my inspiration:
I used some sponging and a paint brush technique to replicate the style, and tried to break up different parts of the painting onto each nail.
I'm quite happy with the result. I think it was a pretty great interpretation, but I'm a bit biased. I did a lot of mixing of my polishes in order to get the right smoky colors, which is part of the reason this took so long. Also, I just really had fun painting like this, so I took my time to try to get everything as close to the original as I could. I really wish you could see these in person, as they look so awesome!
Thankfully I already did tomorrow's challenge earlier today, so I can keep these guys on over the weekend.
