Inspired by Gotye: "Somebody That I Used to Know" Nail Design


I love Gotye's music video, which you've probably all seen or at least heard of because it's made a major dent in the music world these past few months. I decided to create a nail design inspired by the body paint in the video, which is not perfect looking at all because that's the way it is in the video. Here's the video & instructions on how I did it!





1. Start with a flesh colored base-I used Mulberry Street by NYC Color
2. Map out your lines with a thin permanent marker
3. Pick out some berries, periwinkles, and silvers to fill in the lines
4. Recolor the black lines and you're done!


All the colors I used:
-French White Creme by Wet n Wild
-Mulberry Street by NYC Color
-Honeymoon in Style by Orly
-Broadway Burgundy Frost by NYC Color
-Rain Check by Wet n Wild
-Silvivor by Wet n Wild Fast Dry

What do you think?
