Hey everyone!! Today's nails are an homage to the seemingly endless span of desert that surrounds the lovely city of sin, booze, hookers, and gluttony that I reside in. :-P No, those aren't bats, they're vultures- the Hunter S. Thompson/Fear and Loathing/Steadman nails are to come in the near future I think. :-D

I used
Zoya Yummy as a base, with
American Apparel Palm Springs for the desert, then mixed with
Zoya Dea to shade. For the cacti, I used L.A. Girl Army Green, that I got at Urban Outfitters,
Pure Ice Wild Thing to highlight, and
Nubar Forest for shadow. For the vultures, I used
Zoya Raven. Topped everything off with
Seche Vite top coat so it'd dry superfast, then topped off the sand portion with
Essie Matte About You. :)
Note: No bodies are buried in the desert pictured, unlike the desert surrounding Vegas. ;)
