The Trail Blazers made it into the playoffs and past the first bracket! To celebrate and support my awesome team, I did what any lacquerista would do, I painted my nails. I attempted the Blazers' symbol:

I used acrylic paint for the design and jn dance 24 for my brush. First time using both and I loved it! So much nicer to paint with acrylics and the brush is amazing! The symbol, however, was meh to me.
I saw this smoky type design on pinterest and used it as inspiration for my flames. Here is the black before and after top coat. I use HK Girl top coat because I prefer the application of it vs seche. Seche is still my favorite for shine, though. Also, please excuse blurriness of the photo (poor lighting at night) and messiness of hands. These were taken precleanup and reds are always a messy occurance for me.
Voilà! The finished product. The symbol was really bugging me. I was going to turn it into another flame nail, but liked it when I added a single layer of red, so I kept it. First picture is shade, second is sun. Still a bit undecided about the symbol but I love the flames! The red base polish is Finger Paints "Gogh Red." All other colors used were acrylics. I would like to thank my mom for giving me a box of her acrylics!
Lastly, my left hand in sunlight. I'm actually pretty proud of how this hand turned out. Not bad for my non dominate hand.
