Nail Art: Chemistry is "fun"

I always say that nails are my weakness. I simply do not have the patience to be bothered with them most of the time...and the rest of the time, I am biting my nails to my dermal layer. These lazy summer days seems to have redefined my stance on nail art.

Nail Art > Makeup
Makeup = Getting out of bed + Taking a picture of my face = FUCK THAT

You must understand. I let things go a wee bit, especially in the "physical/do I even look human/how are you ever going to get some" department.  Note: How I am starting to use "+,=,>, 8==D" in place of words.


This particular look was inspired by an afternoon musing: Why do we use our fingers for quotation marks? They look like fingers. Not " " ". (You see what I did there? CLEVER CLEVER.)
It's simple and applicable to "real world situations."

Step 1:
Paint white base color.

Step 2:
Paint black dot on upper nail area of index and middle finger on each hand.
Hint: It helps to slightly slant downward for right hand. Slant upwards for left hand.

Step 3:
Make a comma connecting or slightly off to the right of the black dot. Fill in and shape as desired.

Step 4:
Make sure to correctly place the appropriate symbol on each hand.

Left: When looking at hands palm down, it should look like a 6.
Right: When looking at hands palm down, it should look like a 9.

Yes, this is an oh so familiar chemistry textbook come to haunt you from your high school sophomore year when you did not know how to pronounce "atoms" and probably still don't.
