Nail Art Contest Submission - Check out my berry cute mani!

Hey hey Peeps! How goes it? I'm doing great, thanks for asking! I decided to enter another nail art contest. You know I suck at nail art but this time I actually managed to make something that wasn't just completely stupid looking! Yay! I shall give you all the details at the conclusion of my post so you can enter too. You don't have to be a pro, just have fun! Here's what I created for the competition...

I wont even try to lie to ya, I love this! Most likely the cutest nail art I've ever created. Don't laugh, it's not funny. I told ya I wasn't a pro! Anywhooser, the strawberry mani idea came after 2 failed attempts at a leopard print mani. Check it out, and feel free to laugh at this one...

I think it looks more like a giraffe than a leopard, wtf? Hmmm, maybe my blobs are too big? Agh, I'll get better with practice. I hope. It still ain't too bad for my first attempt, I guess? Oh well, back to the strawberry mani. For no other reason than the fact I want to, hows about I flash another berry shot...

 I used China Glaze Red Satin as the base, Sinful Colors Exotic green for the tops, and gold Salon Perfect nail art paint for the seeds. Why gold? Because I discovered I need to buy a new bottle of black polish, this one's almost empty and it's SUPER gooey. I had little black threads all over my fingers when I attempted the leopard print so I decided to NOT ruin my strawberry mani. I think I made a good choice, the gold seeds are cuter, AND since it was nail art paint it came with a super skinny brush. I should seriously invest in some nail art tools if I'm ever going to get any good at this crap. Anywho, not bad for being artistically challenged. The hardest part about nail art for me is trying to come up with something cute AND unique. And the fact that I'm a ghetto nail artist if there ever was one doesn't help. One of my most used tools in my artsy-fartsy nail fail creations is a damn toothpick. I did NOT use a toothpick for the strawberry mani however. LMAO, I actually just wiped off the gold art brush & used it to draw the green tops after I finished dabbing on my gold strawberry seeds :) So, it's doubtful I'll ever be featured in NailedIt Magazine or anything like that, but I did manage to create some nail art that wasn't totally retarded.
