Nails come to life!..well not really! but...

It was suggested that I should have pictures of my designs on actual hands, so i've decided to do my own nails! The reason being that i had to get the hands well-photographed & i thought, well, i might actually have MY designs on MY nails!( self-promoting!)

So had my nails done, since ive got quite short nails & the designs look much better on long nails than short, i had to actually glue acrylics on (plastic nails)(you could have it done on shorter nails, of course but when photographed, long is the way to go!)
Had my hands taken by a professional photographer (thank you very much cos it was a last minute call!:) ), never thought it'd be that complicated to take pictures of just nails & hands!! (i will never underestimate a model's work ever again! ) Been great fun though.. my hands were aching after the shoot!! Some images are shown below :










One day after, i still got the nails on me! I had to go out & i was thinking ¨ Oh gosh, people are gonna think i'm a freak with nails like this!! ¨ But then i thought ¨Hey im a Chelsea student! im an artist, don't mess with me!¨
So took the tube at 10am, of course, full of people, i kept thinking ¨just be normal, im from Chelsea, ive got great nails¨! Everyone stared at my nails & looked at my face..then looked at my nails again! haha
Then walked towards Oxford St and a group of young women came up to me & told me i've got amazing nails (i was so happy! I also told them i did the designs for my uni's final project, should have seen their faces!)
I also had to go to the supermarket & the cashier lady also complimented my nails! She asked how much it was & when i told her i made them myself, she said ¨Well done!¨
(hehe woman like my designs! which is great feedback! cos they are my main clients)

Only problem was i couldn't get my card out of the machine cos my nails are too long!
