Mosaic Tile Nail Art!

Hello everyone! Today I have some tile/abstract stained glass nail art for you!

I sat down with a bunch of my untried/once-tried polishes last night and I decided I'd do a mosaic-inspired manicure. As always, I used one of my two tiny brushes that I've cut most of the bristles off of (this time the fatter one)! For these nails I started off with one coat of Orly Decades of Dysfunction which is part of the Dark Shadows collection Orly put out a while ago. Decades of Dysfunction is definitely a two-coater, but I thought my blobs of colour would cover the streaky parts well enough! The whole collection went on sale at Sally Beauty a month or so after it came out, so of course I had to pick some up! :P

I've been playing around with my light box and I think I've come to the conclusion that just one lamp shining in from the top produces the best pictures. These pictures are the first ones I've taken that are all using just one lamp, do you think these look better than my other recent pictures? I think my skin looks the right colour here; not too red or too yellow. What do you guys think? I'd love if you let me know in the comments!

Anyways, onto the pictures and other polishes used!
