54. hide/ヒデ (X JAPAN) inspired nail art

ﾟ･:,｡ﾟ･:,｡★ﾟ･:,｡ﾟ･:,｡☆

Today is May 2nd. As any X JAPAN fan knows, 13 years ago today is when hide passed away. I don't want to make this post super depressing, but rather I wanted to share my inspiration to celebrate hide's life in my own little creative way. Yeah, nail art. :3

I've done X JAPAN/hide inspired nails in the past and they're among my top favorite designs so far. Here's a couple pictures of my old nail art...

on my left hand i wrote "hide" on my ring finger, and 「ヒデ」on my right index finger

I can no longer draw hearts with my left hand! They all came out looking more like mickey mouse heads (ô_ô;;)

♥ for X JAPAN

I also tried doing my makeup inspired by hide's famous yellow and blue jumper and his hair, but it's really not worth showing, it came out so neutral haha. Maybe next year I'll cut my hair and dye it pink! (＾ε＾)

Sadly while I was re-organized my nail polish box, I noticed one of my nail polishes spilled a bit on my ZOYA bottle, and stupidly I tried to scrape it off with my nail, so the turquoise polish transferred onto my middle and pinky fingers (pinky? why-- how?) So I gotta redo those nails, ugh, what a pain.

For fun here's some pictures of my nail polish box :P

Before

And after! I messed it up when someone moved my box into the living room and I was carrying it back to the garage haha. That's not even all my polishes XD
