Our first pre-challenge was creative play, we had to think "outside the box" and create a hand-painted nail look in five tips. We were allowed to use only polish ,gel polish and acrylic paints. I tried to think of something different, weird and funny at the same time. I believe that sometimes things are not what they seem and you need to take a second look.So i decided to create designs that you can see in two different ways with different emotions. In one way you see a man and when you turn the tip upside down...can you see a woman? I used polish for the base of the design and acrylic paints to finish my design.I had so much fun in this challenge, hope you like my creation! Good luck to everyone!
