There's a commercial on TV right now for a certain phone company that features a song about narwhals. Upon seeing this commercial the song became lodged so deeply in my brain that even my cat got tired of hearing me sing it. For days. Seriously.. so many days. My theory seemed to work out pretty well last time. If something is stuck in my head I can paint it to get it out, so here are my narwhal nails. If you haven't heard this song yet I've included the video for you. You know you can't resist watching it.
So, what did you think? Will you now also be singing this over and over in your mind until you go crazy?
My narwhals are swimming in an ocean of I Love Nail Polish's Cygnus Loop. I absolutely love their multichromes. This is the third one I've tried and they all have such beautiful dimension and shift. This one goes from a rich blue/purple to a bright violet/pink with some hints of gold at the edges. The formula can drag a little so you'll want to do 2-3 thin coats for good coverage and use as few brush strokes as possible. The extra care needed is completely worth it. This polish has a great wear time an unbelievable color.
I made narwhal decals because I didn't quite trust myself to paint these perfectly onto my nail. I have a little silicone mat that's perfect for making decals. They peel off so easily once they're dry. I started by painting a white outline in the basic shape and filling it in. I went back with black acrylic paint to add the details and then filled in the colors last. I always seem to get bubbles when I apply my decals though. It's driving me crazy. Does anyone have any tips to avoid this? I wanted to do a close-up of the thumb but ended up leaving it out because there were so many bubbles it didn't even look good.
How do you deal when annoying songs get stuck in your head?
