Nail Art: Counting Sheep

There are reasons why it took this long for a new nail art design. A hectic work schedule is my primary excuse. But the real culprit is lack of inspiration. For more than a week, ideas for a nail design comes but never stays. So last night, I was trying to sleep early because I needed to wake up early the next morning. But I wasn't sleepy. What do you do when you want to get sleepy? As for me, I often play a game on my mobile phone or watch a movie until I fall asleep. But before I even started to play, I had an inspiration for a nail art -- counting sheep! I don't really do that to fall asleep but I thought it was funny I thought about it just when I wanted to sleep.


Counting Sheep Nail Art Design by Simply Rins

Creating this nail art design is somewhat ironic. I wanted to fall asleep and I ended staying up late because I got excited to do this Sheep nail art. Initially, I wanted to paint 10 sheep but since I still need to wake up early, I decided to do accent nails instead. Nevertheless, I think this turned out well and I still smile whenever I look down on my nails as I remember how this design came to be.



There was no deliberation on what color I wanted as base for my Sheep nail art. I wanted a dark blue color that would mimic the color of the night. So I searched my stash and decided on Misa A Sin Worth Committing and I just loved it. This is 2 coats and there's no problem with the application. It has a glossy finish even without a top coat.

I hand painted the nail design using acrylic paints. I painted a sheep on each hand on my ring finger and painted numbers in random order on my other nails.



Perhaps I could try to stare on my nails tonight and see if it could help me fall asleep. But I feel I would be smiling instead. I found it amusing what prompted me to create this Sheep nail art design.

Do you count sheep when you want to fall asleep?




P.S. Did you know that sheep is singular and plural at the same time?
