Melting drawer cabinet

When I started this manicure, I didn't really have the exact idea of how I wanted it to look at the end, I just wanted to play a little bit... 
I put this beautiful Bottega Verde Pearly Copper nail polish on my nails and decided to draw some lines with black acrylic colour... :-) 
Then it seemed to me that I should fill the spaces between the lines, and I did it with creamy acrylic colour... 
But somehow I "missed" something, so I decided to draw some dots with the same colour that I used for the base colour... And only then I was happy with this manicure :-) 
The only problem was to find out what it represents and to find a proper name for it :-) 
I remembered some paintings of Salvador Dalí, with his famous melting clocks, and I started to see a kind of melting drawer cabinet on my nails... so this is how this manicure got its name :-) What do you think about the name and about the manicure?

P.S. of course, this melting drawer cabinet is full of nail polishes... :-)

    3. I ja sam uspela da posetim jednu izlozbu njegovih dela, sasvim slucajno, to je bilo pre skoro 10 godina u Londonu, tada smo se moj muz i ja nalazili na "medenom mesecu" (4 dana u Parizu i 4 dana u Londonu); tog dana smo predvideli 100 drugih stvari za obici i videti, a kad smo videli Dalijevu izlozbu jednostavno nismo imali izbora: usli smo i gotovo, taj dan je bio posvecen njemu... :-)

    1. Thank you, Andrea! :-) Drawing with acrylic colours is soooo much easier than drawing with nail polishes... that is the secret :-)

  5. Ideja za poimenovanje te manikure ti je odlična! =)) Tudi jaz sem bila v Dalijevem muzeju v Španiji na maturantskem izletu in takrat se nam je vsem zdelo: "Ma joooj, mi bi žurali, kaj nas vozijo v muzeje??" No, na koncu pa nas niso dobili ven, tako smo bili navdušeni. ;))
