I began by forming long tubular nails.
I wanted to pay homage to the nail shapes popular during the era, so I went with a round shape and modern length.
I hand painted the atomic tiki design on every nail. I carried over elements from nail to nail, but wanted each to be a bit different.

Here are the finished nails before gel.
I made several pieces from gel to add as my 3D elements.
The thumb could not be left out either!
Here are the acrylic and gel 3D element.
Here is the final design in all its glory. Time to have a cocktail and and reminisce on the fabulous fifties!
