There comes a time when I have to realize that my thoroughly planned manicure becomes a failure for one reason or another. And here we are with another contribution  to When Good Manis Go Bad.

A few days ago I finally sat down ready, willing. and able (so I thought) to fulfill another installment to the Art Dealer Chic series. The original idea was to take the print on Miguel's shirt and put it on my nails. I thought I couldn't go wrong. Seriously though, the print is literally a bunch of stick figures.

Let's back up so I can tell you exactly how this manicure started! I laid down a base color of Sation Lollipop! Goes The Princess. No problems there, so let's move on to the nest step.

Next, I sponged on a gradient using Sinful Colors Dream On, China Glaze Flying Dragon, and Dare To Wear Violetta.
So far, so good. I actually really loved how smooth the colors shifted into one another. By far my best gradient to date! And then came the stick people...

I painted the stick figure with my go to white nail polish Dare To Wear Flawless White. My issue wasn't with the polish. The hassle came in when I realized it had been such a long time since I did any somewhat detailed nail art and it was 3am (way past my bedtime by the way). My lines didn't come out very crisp so I scrapped the idea to cover every nail with tiny stick people, and do my thumb and one guy on my middle finger.


I guess I killed two birds with one stone. Some Art Dealer Chic nails and yet another episode of When Good Manis Go Bad.
