Abstract Inspired

I was inspired to do this design after seeing Nail L00py's abstract design here. So I changed the colors around a bit, and took pictures at each step to show you how to recreate it.

Start with base colors. I used China Glaze Recycle and Zoya Areej.

Freehand some random swoopy shapes on each nail. I used more of Zoya Areej, and the light gray is Zoya Dove.

Freehand some more random swoopy shapes on top of those using whatever color you don't have on that nail yet. Dots along the ring finger swoop.

Freehand some more dots as you please and topcoat. This is super easy and only involved 3 polish colors. I like that it looks a lot more complicated than it really is. If you wanted absolutely perfect lines I'm sure you could mask off using hole reinforcers or scotch tape.

Thanks Nail L00py!
