I used OPI Suzi Says Feng Shui on all the nails. I created the newsprint design with newspaper clippings and rubbing alcohol. For the white and black clouds, I used Salon Perfect Sugar Cube and American Apparel Hassid with a dotting tool. With a toothpick, I wrote the words using the opposing color. Finished with NYC Matte Me Crazy Mattifying Top Coat.
I haven't read the book but I really like the nail art for it so I decided to give this design a try. I liked how these turned out but I should have wrote the words a bit smaller because I did kind of run out of room on my nails at the end. What do you think?
