Rodarte Inspired Nails

So despite the fact that I have a folder, on my desktop labeled 'Fashion'(which is full of mostly runway photos that I intended to use for nail inspiration), that has been collecting photos for almost 7 months now.  I have yet to actually sit down and do fashion inspired nails since February when I did my Diane von Fürstenberg nails, and Richard Chai nails. Until now. (Okay that's a bit of a lie.  I've done about 3 since then.  But they all turned out looking like poop so I never posted them).

I really just wanted something really simple to do.  So when I was rummaging through the folder and saw this Rodarte piece I knew I had to do it.  All I used was OPI's Onyx, and acrylic paint.  I was going to use Illamasqua Scorn to give it that leather look.  But I realized the paint would look like well, dry paint when it was dry.  And that would mean I would probably have to add topcoat to it making everything shiny.  My other thought was put a matte topcoat on top.  But then I realized that not only would the paint still look like dry paint but, since Scorn had no shimmer in it, it would also look like dry paint.  So it was plain black polish for me!

Ps.  Badass post tomorrow! Well I think it's badass.
