So this one was a head-scratcher of a theme: what is an emotion? what is a feeling? How do i choose just one? and then when I do choose it - how do I represent it? I had been thinking about this for about a week now (cra-a-a-zy!) The obvious ones were love, happiness, unicorns and rainbows, and all things sweet; unfortunately that's not real life. Look at this little dude:

I think anger, frustration and disappointment are more common. Or rather, they take more effort. Positive emotions come and go easily, but negative tend to stay with us longer. I am always for "turning a frown upside down", so to make light of the negativity I turned it into a polish concoction! As you know - polish can make the worst day better - whether it's nailmail, or a little shopping trip, or just doing your nails! Enough of the chit-chat, on to the pictures:

I like that this is layered backwards: first the glitters, then the colour.

DeleteWell...we had to represent our favourite emotion, not a negative emotion... so I don´t agree with your theme. Anyway I like this mani and have never seen glitters first! have to try it! xx
ReplyDeleteI guess I just thought we don't get to pick our emotions, so nothing can be a favorite one))) Thanks for your comment!
