#33DC - Day 4 - Tribal


 Hey everyone.  I'm back for Day 4 of the #33DC and the prompt for today is tribal.  I'm going to start by saying I'm not keen on tribal nails, which is why I have never attempted them before this. I respect people who can do them well, but I just don't like them on me.  Luckily for me, I've seen a few other people already today who have said pretty much the same thing, so at least I'm not alone!



I decided to just keep it very simple, since I expected total failure, and that I would end up doing it over and over before it barely resembled what I wanted it to.  Now, whilst I don't really like these (the design or the brush-strokey base colour), this was my first attempt, and I was pleasantly surprised.  I think picking a very simplified design was a great way to go.  They probably would have been a complete failure otherwise.
So there we have it, only 2 full nails and 3 half nails of tribal.  Pretty boring, I know, but at least it's recognisable as nail art!
