Van Halen

I've also never been a huge Van Halen fan, but my friend Mike suggested that I do some frakenstrat nails and it was too good of an idea to pass up. This was the week of painting bands on my nails which culminated with an awesome concert at the end of the week. I won't spoil the surprise, but I'm going out of town for the weekend, so tomorrow evening or Monday morning you can see the last of the band nails (at least for this week).

The Rolling Stones

I've never actually been a huge Rolling Stones fan, but there logo is so iconic that I thought it would make awesome nail art. These definitely came out pretty cool -- They are simple but not boring. I especially love the matte look for these nails. I achieved this by using only acrylic paints and then not top coating. Obviously this means that these nails didn't last very long, but since I usually change my nails once a day, it wasn't a bit deal when they started smudging.
