Why so Serious?
I have a very unsteady hand, which makes these nails look all the cooler! I splattered both the purple and the green, but if you have a steady hand you can paint "y so serious" on the nails.

    Step 3

    now the fun starts. put on a thick layer of purple. allow it to dry for a minute or two, but not completely. then take a tissue and smudge it a lot. wipe some off entirely, thin some out, just add texture to another, it's up to you! the point is to make it look messy.

    Then let the purple dry.

    Note: sorry it's rather hard to see, my webcam is crappy.

    Step 4

    now add some green. I had a mini brush, so just painted a little hear and there. If you have a steady hand, you can write "y so serious," that's ten letters!

    Let it dry

    Again, sorry for the bad quality

  • Step 5

    this step is optional, but you'll probably want to add a top coat.

    enjoy your devious nails!

    why so serious?
