One of the things that comes to mind when I think of retro stuff is bowling. I was actually going to try to do a bowling shirt design but while perusing the Internet for color inspiration I came across this picture of a bowling ball bag…
I couldn't help recreate this design on my nails.
I started off with 2 coats of OPI 'You're so Vain‐illa'
I drew a wide stripe vertically down the middle of my nail using OPI 'Ice‐bergers & Fries' and a striping brush.
I then formed a curved triangular shape on the bottom of the stripe at the tip of my nail.
I used OPI 'Can't Afjord Not To' and the same striping brush to create the curved lines on either side of the center line. Following the curve of the center triangular shape.
After a little clean up and an application of a nice shiny top coat and there you have a funky fun retro design. Normally, I would not have done a color combo like this but I think they are pretty close to those on the bowling bag. I think this design would look really neat with a black,white, and red combination. What do you think?
This is a great design for a night of bowling or if you like retro design. You can change the colors to match a team shirt or whatever outfit your wearing.
