Nail Art: Swirls

I was laying late last night, waiting for inspiration to come. But my mind went blank. So in hope that it will visit me sooner or later, I polished my nails with one of my all time favorite polishes, China Glaze Side Saddle. I still wanted to create a Valentine's inspired nail art design. After I finished polishing my nails, I still didn't have a clue what to do. So I went back to bed and stared at the ceiling. A few minutes after, I was preparing for another nail art session with myself.

Hypnosis is the inspiration for this nail design. It hit me when I was staring blankly at the ceiling. I simply called this Swirls and I'm sure you know why. ;)

Swirls are often how hypnotized characters in cartoons are drawn and that's what came into mind when I thought of using hypnosis as inspiration for this nail design. I wasn't sure how it would look on my nails but I decided to just start painting and follow my instincts. I painted swirls that would cover the entire nail bed and used thick lines instead of thin because I figured that would be easier to paint.

I still wanted this nail art to be fit for Valentine's so I decided on using a pink acrylic color for the swirls. I originally wanted to use red but it would not show well with the base color.

This nail design is quite bold, I think. It may attract a lot of attention to your nails as the lines are prominent. Overall, I think it is a fun and very flexible nail art design. I'm thinking this would look amazing in black and white. It is confusing and beautiful at the same time.

Here's a closer look:

I would recommend this for nail art beginners who would like to practice strokes and would like to get familiarized with their nail art brushes.

Do you consider this nail art a simple design?
