DIY nail art with post it flags



I was hit by another flash of inspiration when i entered a little cafe today. i really liked the tiles in the cafe and decided i would try to make some kind of nail art. Since i don't have more nail strips laying around my house i decided to make my own with tape, I didn't use tape but instead post it flags, since i find them easier to paint on. And if you don't want any mess painting on a paper underneath will be the easiest way. You can paint with any kind of color you know will stay put even after applying a top coat, i used nail polish to paint with. 
    Tip: Using post it flags is probably the best idea, since they don't stick to the paper. Cutting the post it flags when they are still on the paper makes it a lot easier to cut and gives you more control. Since it's post it flags it's easy to remove from the paper and apply on the nail.

Hey you all.
You really can find inspiration in your everyday life. Inspiration is everywhere it's just whether or not we take it to consideration. I was at the police today to get my passport done and they had to take fingerprints of course and suddenly it hit me how beautiful that black fingerprint looks against the white paper, so I thought i would make a nail with a fingerprint. It didn't go really well but oh well, it's kinda fun and new and you can't really draw it up on your nail by yourself. So here's how it looks.
