Touch of Color: Black Swan Inspired

Like I have said in a previous post that I am at the moment slightly obsesses with the film "Black Swan." The last time I saw the film I got the idea to do this with my nails. The technique is called gradient and it is surprisingly easy. The main thing that you have to remember is that you must let each coat dry before continuing on with the next.  I only used 4 colors but you can use as many as you like.

Step 1: Do your base coat, I picked white.

Step 2: Once your top coat is dry, get the cosmetic wedge and apply the next color. Once you got a good amount on the wedge, but not too much, gently start applying it to you nail. Start from the tip of your nail and then go down. You might have to do this several times to get the color that you want. Wait 2 to 3 minuets, than repeat the process with the rest of the colors you are going to use.

Step 3: Again once all of the nail polish is fully dried apply the top coat 

What you need:

3 or more different nail polish
1 Cosmetic Wedge
1 Plastic Plate

Nail Polished Used:
New York Color in Little Italy
Sally Hansen's Xtreme Wear in Wet Cement
Sally Hansen's Xtreme Wear in Gunmetal
Nail Polish from Hot Topic in Black
Sally Hansen Top Coat

Wicked Wednesday: Black Swan

This week my obsession has become the film "Black Swan". I fell in love with the film when it first came out and yesterday I drove as fast (and safely) as possible to the store after work to buy my copy on DVD.

To be honest I haven't watched TV or seen much advertisement for the DVD, other than the little dance double scandal, which I think was all planned to draw attention to Blu-Ray and DVD release. However, I have been in love with all of the movie posters that they came up with. The ones that are actual photos are simple and dramatic it doesn't have any fluff to it.  I cannot stress how much I love the artwork that was done for the black, white and red posters. I want all of them to be hanging in my house. The coloring and the drastic angles and they all have this deeper meaning. With this said I will stop there because trust me I can go on longer.
