The Bling-Yang!

I'm a bit late getting round to the NPQ challenge this week, which theme was set on yin-yangs and had to be painted with your non dominant hand.

Wiki's definition:
In Chinese philosophy, the concept of yin-yang, which is often called "yin and yang" is used to describe how opposite or contrary forces are interconnected and interdependent in the natural world; and, how they give rise to each other as they interrelate to one another.

I had a search on Google and pondered keeping it more traditional but in my usual odd way, I decided to splatter my hand in glitter and gems along with making the pattern a little more geometric. I started with two layers of Hypergel followed by two layers of glitter last night. I needed to make sure it was dry so left it overnight and finished them off today. I cut a piece of masking tape to the appropriate shape, stuck it down then painted over it with the black. For some reason though it bled a lot today so I ended up having to hand paint the lines back on to make them more defined and less scraggly, though they are far from perfect. I then added on the gems with Seche and painted an extra layer for the top coat and to smooth it out. The ring finger was a little random and to be honest, I don't really know what went on there but needless to say, I just felt like adding more gems.

Oh, and turns out they do bottles of pure acetone in Poundland under the main title of 'Artificial Nail & Tip Remover'.. Bonus! Thank you @kateyey for telling me!
