Hieroglyphics over a dry brush papyrus mani, but without the cartouche (that’s the little oval-shaped frame that goes around proper nouns.) This manicure spells out LOVE in hieroglyphics. For the curious, I do not have HATE hieroglyph’d on my other hand – I’m total crap at nail art on my right hand. Besides, I had a hard enough time with the lion symbol that stands for the letter L; trying to do a right-hand eagle for the A sound would have just about given me a stroke. But I do like to think about the first Egyptian punk bombing around the birthplace of the pharaohs with a LOVE/HATE tattoo in hieroglyphs across his knuckles. Badass. 😉

Haha it would have been awesome to have “HATE” on the right hand. 😛 This is definitely filed in my brain as “very unique mani”. Well done!
Thank you! That’s the very best kind of nail art compliment!
Yeah, bitchin glyphs. I’m sure all of the ancient punks referred to them as glyphs.
Yup, glyphs in the, uh…in the uh, ‘gypt? Ugh, no, that’s terrible.
Bahaha! You and Jay’s Comment!
I bet this took forever.. especially the index finger and all its detail. Nice work!!
Thanks very much! And it didn’t take *too* long, although I did have to brush up on my Egyptian hieroglyph alphabet (all I could remember were those horrible eagles for the letter A!)
love the manicure! so dope yet original
Thank you, glad you liked it! 🙂
