Tetris Nails

This is something I have been meaning to try out for a while now. I have finally got to a point where I felt comfortable enough with my brush work to even attempt this, although I am not 100% happy with my line quality. Inspiration was taken from my amazing leggings- I cannot get enough of them!

I started with a black base- my go-to black is from a brand called "Jezy" found in many chemists in Perth. I love this brand- its usually fairly cheap, they have a huge range of colours, and the application is brilliant.

The Tetris blocks were free-handed with acrylic paint. I'm fairly new to using acrylic paint for nail art. and so far my attempts to try and paint prime colours straight onto black polish have resulted in faint designs. To try and counter this I mixed a small amount of white acrylic, which made the colours more opaque.

I decided that on the other hand I would paint the individual blocks- I did try to do the same design on both hands, however it was nowhere near as neat using my non-dominant hand so I opted for this instead. 

So, what do you think? Maybe next time I will use striping tape to achieve straighter lines. I haven't used it, but it seems to be used by many nail artists. Has anyone used it before? Feel free to leave a comment, or any advice for next time !
