Last pic is the inspo, Bill Crisafi's iconic Miss Phillip.

These took me so frickin' long to do. All in, including a practice run and taking the pictures, I spent at least 12 hours on this mani 😵‍💫 but I love them, so it was totally worth it, right???

My polish collection is relatively small, so every single colour you see on my nails with the exception of the black, the green, and the red, were made by mixing other polishes. I *did* purchase both a red and a yellow polish specifically for this look, but a) they were holes I wanted to fill anyway so I could expand my nail art options, and b) I've had this planned for a while so I just kept an eye on the sales at my local drugstore and was able to pick them both up at a steep discount.

First two pics are of the nails, third is the inspo (prints of which are available for purchase on Bill Crisafi's website), and fourth is all the polish and tools I used to make it happen.

My polish collection is relatively small, so I had to do a lot of colour mixing for this one. I also have atrocious fine motor skills, particularly with my non-dominant hand, so I did a lot of practice beforehand, and doing the art was incredibly stressful lol. All told, including practice, a dry run at colour-mixing, actual mani, and taking pictures (which was an adventure in itself), I probably spent about 12 hours on this look 😵‍💫

But I love them! Miss Phillip in particular makes me smile whenever I look at her.
