Today's prompt is "tribal". Can I just say first that I really hate the term "tribal"? It's often incorrect and just kind of racist. :-(
*gets off high horse* Anyway, I'm assuming "tribal" means "a pattern used by non-white people". I chose to reproduce some Peruvian textile patterns I found--I love the bright colors they use!
I picked four patterns from this lovely picture to attempt (hopefully you can tell which ones):
I'm pretty impressed with myself, I must say! I'm especially proud of the pattern on my ring finger.
I used a ton of polishes for this one:
- Revlon Impulsive
- Sinful Colors Snow Me White
- Deborah Lippmann On the Beach
- Revlon Plum Seduction
- Sally Hansen Lightening
- Essie Play Date
- Essie DJ Play That Song
- Essie The More the Merrier
- Wet 'n' Wild On a Trip
- Julep Meryl
- Julep Nan
- L'Oreal L'Orange
Don't forget to look at everyone else's "tribal" nails!
Aha! I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who's uncomfortable with today's theme. I kind of sidestepped it by just using my own "tribe" and making Jewish nails. I like yours a lot though!
ReplyDeleteI love the colors, and patterns! I bet this took a while, I cheated today and did stamping! ;)
ReplyDeleteThis is stunning! I was in Peru with a documentary film crew yrs ago and I went nuts for the woven arts...still have 2 weavings on my walls I brought back. You really captured the look!
