INKBLOT NAIL ART

Our thanks to the Stylist Blog at thehuffingtonpost.com
for taking us back to school for this hot tip:-

'When I was in high school, I remember sitting in psychology class as my teacher displayed images of The Rorschach test on the overhead projector. The weirdly-shaped inkblots were part of a personality evaluation created by Swiss psychologist Hermann Rorschach. If these eye-crossing pictures provided any insight into my emotional state at the time, I'd be worried about the prognosis. But I've recently taken interest again thanks to this inkblot DIY nail art by Los Angeles-based blogger Maegan Tintari'.


Follow these steps to get this manicure:
1. Take 10 one-inch pieces of painter's tape and fold them in half. Cut a small and different design into each folded edge. Maegan's insider tip: be careful making your designs too wide as it could go "cow" easily.
2. Polish nails with a base coat and then paint on Sephora by OPI A-Ha! Moment (an opaque white). 
3. Once dry, apply the tape design onto each nail and add OPI Siberian Nights (a deep purple) to the top.
4. Allow at least two minutes for the color to set before removing tape. To add more depth, dot on nail polish around the sides to mimic the flow of an inkblot. 
5. Apply a quick-drying top coat like Essie Good to Go
top coat to set the look.
