I've been fascinated by evil eyes for quite some time now; I have a nice collection hanging around my apartment and they flesh out the majority of the bracelet designs I make in my shop. So it seemed fitting that I added them to my nail designs.
Originally inspired by this design, I took her idea and ran with it to the only place my brain seems to understand: MORE GLITTER, MORE BLING. I probably should have used the hole reinforcement stickers technique to get better/straighter painted moons, but... whatever. Somehow it seemed easier to just paint a big messy half circle across the top of my entire damn finger than to get out the stickers?!? I know, it doesn't make sense, especially when you consider that I had to spend all that time putting those glitter pieces on "just so".
Lesson learned: stop being lazy, it usually creates more work for later.
I'll admit it was kind of strange catching these eyes looking at me all week, but I didn't mind too much until that awkward moment during my yoga practice where I close with a linga mudra (see figure #12) and it turned into an uncomfortable staring contest between me and my thumbs...
