Remember The Scream I did a while back? Well I’ve been feeling kinda artsy today and so, I decided to make one of my requests – Van Gogh’s Starry Night. Thanks Laura P. for your request :D

To begin with, apply all the base colours. Start with light ones and proceed to darker colours.I used a lip brush for all of this. And here I have to tell you I mixed some of the polishes. [scroll down for the list of polishes I used]

use a thin brush to apply base colours

To apply all the detailed lines for an impressionistic look use the thinnest brush you can find. I’m using a brush that I cleaned from an old polish that I left open once over the night and it dried out lol. [below you can find the list of polishes I used]
