Everybody saw this one coming, right? Ok good.
I’ve been wanting to do these for awhile but I knew it would take some time to hammer out so waited for some spectacularly bad reality TV to go for it. I started with a white base and used some black to draw in a grid (jeez is it ever hard making perfect squares! these were close though) so that I already had the framework in place to color in the Tetris pieces. Plus the black outline underneath the colors helps create some of the box shading from the original game a little, so that’s nice. I used all of my bright Art Club stripers to color in the blocks I wanted and then went back with a fine brush and Wet n Wild Ebony Hates Chris to fill in the rest of the nail. Super fun, and really not that difficult — it’s sort of perfect practice for doing lines and filling spaces though.
Oh my gosh. This is just beyond perfect. I will be stealing this idea! I’m sure it did take a long time though! I agree about finding a particularly long TV show to watch at the same time
These are so nerdy and awesome! I love it.
Ahh so cute!!
Love it !! That idea is brilliant!
That is awesome. your squares look amazing. It’ll be awhile before I get good enough to do that.
OMG!! this is amazing!! perfectly done!
Yes! This is so perfect! Great idea for nails.
So cute!
How do you keep up with all these posts?? lol
Thanks ladies! Seriously, give it a try, it’s not that hard. And Kelly, I work from home, so I can do nails during the day while I’m getting stuff done — it’s a blessing and a curse.
I love this! All the little squares look amazing!
O.M.G.! This is amazing! I used to played tetris non-stop my first year of college as a means of procrastination! haha
Love tetris, and love this! So meticulous! I would not have the patience… =)
I would so not have the patience to do this! haha love it though. I used to play tetris all the time!
I loved tetris it was my favorite game! You did a great job it looks awesome, your such an artist, I wouldn’t even know where to begin.
Crazy girl–these are so great! I love tetris! The nails fit it well!
Awesome!!
I love this mani!
DUDE! am having a serious flashback as we speak!!! Late 80s, when Tetris first came out-I was THE one to beat in the bar-the more I drank, the better I got! This is crazy good-my absolute fave yet!
Haha I know, right?! While doing this I was remembering when my dad had it on his computer when I was in high school and like, HOURS in front of that game for a few months, I was OBSESSED. Tetris has a warm spot in a lotta hearts I think.
This looks so…complicated! This is one of my favorite designs of yours so far.
You just get more and more clever, don’t you?
Omgosh! You just keep amazing me! You’re freaking awesome!
wow, love the idea!
I’ve had this written down in my “manis to do book” for forever now but haven’t been sure exactly how to go about it! Your’s look really good!!
OMG this is perfect and awesome and geeky AND I LOVE IT! lol!! And I have the tetris song stuck in my head now.
Love this! I always loved Tetris and this is definitely it!
