I love this look, and it was super easy. The green is Delight by Spa Ritual and the purple is Dream on by Sinful Colors. I just painted a base of Delight on four nails then took a makeup sponge and lightly dabbed on the Dream On to create a sort of spray paint effect. It looks cool at that point, but the top coat really makes it. This design looks awesome in any color combination. I tried a red and orange and it gave a really nice fiery look.

Eye Candy
I absoluely love eyeballs. I once made a self portrait entirely out of eyeballs. I could draw eyes all day, they fascinate me. For this look, I started out with a base of Seche Retain. My thumb is based off of a really cool sketch I did in ink pen a couple weeks ago when I was sick. It's the side view of an eyeball being ripped away. To crate this I simply painted my nail with a base of Sally Hansen Cement and used Sally Hansen Black for the drawing. My index, middle, and little fingers all have a base of Orly Le Chateau, which is a very dark green that is almost black. It is absolutely gorgeous in the sunlight. Anyway, my pointer finger, with the cat eye, was created by making a circle with Spa Ritual Delight and then filling in the circle with Art Deco Bright Green. I used a very small amount of Nina Like Butta to emphasize the catlike appearance. I then used Sally Hansen Black to create the pupil. My middle finger is pretty straight forward using China Glaze White on White, Orly Red Haute, and Nina Black. My ring finger has a base of China Glaze White on White with a dot of Sally Hansen Marine Scene and Nina Black. Veins done in Orly Red Haute. Lastly, my little finger has the same colors as my middle finger. AndI finished with two coats of Seche Vite

4 Square (How To)
This is a fairly simple design I did using regular old scotch tape.
First I painted my nails with Orly Haute Red and let them dry. I then put tape horizontally across my nail at approximately the midpoint with the tape covering the side of my nail facing my hand. I painted the full nail with Nina Black. When I removed the tape I had a half and half effect. I freehanded the silver, Sally Hansen Platinum Chrome, which in retrospect was not the best plan and I advise you stick with the tape method. After letting that all dry, I put tape on the outer half of my nail and again freehanded the center line with China Glaze White on White.
