A:TLA and LOK nail art


I was a fan of Avatar: The Last Airbender throughout high school and then late last year I heard the creators of A:TLA decided to come out with a sequel called Legend of Korra. I got really excited about this and even managed to get my sister hooked onto Legend of Korra when it aired earlier this year. We saw the season finale on Saturday and spazzed over it until this obsession of ours led to a suggestion for Avatar nail art. Me being currently obsessed with nail polish and my sister being artistic, we decided one hand be dedicated to A:TLA and the other to LOK. For A:TLA we decided to use the elemental symbol designs and Aang's airbending tattoo. For LOK we used the national emblems and the Chinese character for peace since the Avatar is suppose to maintain balance and peace in the world and we couldn't think of a design for Korra. All designs were done using Migi Nail Art pens.

The Obligated Introductory Post

Hello,
I started this blog to keep the little things in life updated such as photography, nail art, jewelry making, music, and etc. I have another blog for reviewing mostly Asian movies and dramas (which I admit is sort of cringe worthy), but I wanted to make one dedicated to another part of my life so here goes nothing!
