Nail art fit for a museum

You can bet museums will be closed, too. Keep your favorite works of art close to your heart, err, fingers.

 

Runway reminiscing

Yup, same goes for wearable works of art. Bring your fave trends with you while NYFW is put on hold. Fall ’13 shows cancelled? Never! Fashion always prevails.

Mayan mani

And now the finishing touch. In honor of the Mayan prophecy, I whipped up a tribal mani tutorial. Truthfully, I would have preferred to paint the actual calendar on my tips, but that requires a magnifying glass, an art degree and an extra thousand years just to finish it. Besides, this print was seen practically everywhere this year, so why not send off the world with the year’s best print?

•    Clear coat

•    Base coat (preferably light)

•    3 colors (or more, if you’re bold)

•    Thin paintbrush, nail pens or toothpick

Instructions:

Need more nail art to keep you busy while the world ends? We’ve got lots—and I mean lots—of tutorials right here.

Which mani are you rocking out when the world ends? Blog about it, babes.
