A little background/facts on my nail art today: I was born and raised in California. Grew up in the Bay Area! <3 I love where I'm from and wish I was still living there. Unfortunately my parents had personal problems and decided they had to move away from them...to a new state...and that state being Texas (ugh!...no offense to any of you Texans reading this! lol) Although I have grown to accept Texas...I would leave to California in a heartbeat if I had the chance. Therefore...the whole thing is a pretty sensitive subject for me because I left what felt like my entire life behind and had little choice in changing that (health problems, etc.).
Whew! Okay, on to my entry for Polish Days: October!
Thumb: The California state flag [Used FP - Paper Mache + acrylic paint, Konaded the Star]
Index: 49ers logo...my favorite (american) football team from San Francisco. [Used SC - Hot Hot Heat + acrylic paints]
Middle: Mickey Mouse heads that represent Disney Land! [Used FP - Black Expressionism + acrylic paint and dotting tool]
Ring: 510 is the area code I lived in for most of my life. [Used SH XW Blue Away! + acrylic paint]
Pinky: And finally...the logo for the San Francisco Giants...my favorite MLB team :) [Used FP - Black Expressionism + acrylic paint]
Here are the nails in more detail...and I did add in the text for the California flag with PS...there is no way I could write out "California Republic" with a brush that small! lol :)
