Art can come in any size, shape or form, right? Sisters, authors and artists Donne and Ginny Geer knew that, and have mastered the technique of this new type of art. What is it? Take a look!
Yes, in fact, we’re talking nail art. As Donne and Ginny explained it: “Painting art on your fingertips turns a part of your body into a statement making accessory, in an essence ten tiny canvases. We like to think what we create, allows there be something for everyone, from easy designs that you can doodle to more ambitious hand-painted looks.”
If you are wondering how we came across these talented individuals, it was Beautifully Disney merchandiser Lisa Bergman who had that special eye for finding them. An avid reader of their blog, she soon discovered their salon just around the corner in Long Beach. Lisa constantly raved about this unique duo and couldn’t wait to see what they would do next. Drawing inspiration from fabrics, fashions, nature, moods, etc … the question soon became, if we gave you color choices from our two Beautifully Disney collections, Wickedly Beautiful and Unlock the Spell, what could you do? Well, we just found out and you are the very first to see it.
So how can you create a similar look with your own Beautifully Disney collection at home? Here are a few easy steps from Donne and Ginny, using colors from the new Unlock the Spell collection.
Step 1 : Begin by polishing all your fingers with 2 coats of Let Your Hair Down. Wait until they are completely dry before moving on to the next step.
Step 2: Place a few drops of Beautiful Bayou onto aluminum foil. Dip your paintbrush into the polish and make one curved line across the nail to establish the middle piece of the palm frond. Make wispy lines by swiping the tip of the brush toward the line you previously painted. Fill in remaining areas of the nail with another palm frond.
Step 3: To paint the yellow flowers, begin by dropping some Beautifully Disney polish in Provincial Mademoiselle onto the foil. Use a dotting tool (or something with a fine tip) to make 3 dots in a half circle. Fill in the rest of the circle with 2 dots to complete the petals. Use the paintbrush to make the flower petals more angular. Complete each flower with a dot of Let Your Hair Down. Use your dotting tool to place a few yellow dots around the nail. Add a layer of fast drying topcoat and you’re set!

Next step … I think I need to book an appointment to get my nails done by these two, don’t you? My friend Julie did it, which you can see here. Are you up for it, Erin Glover?

Reddit user intirb recently posted a detailed tutorial on how to 3D print a model of your own brain using an MRI scan. If you haven’t had your head checked lately (I should hope you haven’t had to), intirb suggests inquiring in local university neuroscience departments to see if you can participate in a clinical trial in exchange for the MRI scans.Once you have the file of your grey and white matter cut into thin slices, you can import it into a program called FreeSurfer. It’s a highly specialized piece of software, and familiarity with Linux is recommended to use it, although there are plenty of online resources to help you out.
FreeSurfer will generally take 1-2 days for an average desktop computer to process the MRI data and convert it into an STL file. The resulting file is so complex that it needs to be brought into MeshLab for simplification. Most programs that handle STL files cannot work with objects having more than 20,000 faces. Meshlab is used to reduce the file to below that threshold.Once this process was complete, intirb had success with dumping the STL straight into his MakerBot. Using this method, you can have a model of your own brain after just two to three hours of printing.
