Cab Outta Hell

I once rode in a man's taxi who told us, on our 45 minute ride back to our hotel, about his crazy adventures. He had been held up multiple times, once even being completely stripped of his cash cab, leaving him not only broke, but stranded.

You can only imagine what I and my fellow passengers were thinking while listening to his terrifying tales.

"Are we actually going to make it back to the hotel?"

"I really should've practiced dialing 911 with my hands behind my back last week."

We made it back just fine, and actually tipped him quite well. Possibly to deter him from visiting the hotel room after his rounds.

I dedicate this manicure to him, and I'm calling it Cab Outta Hell.


The yellow is my favorite yellovely, The "It" Color (OPI). I used striping tape to keep the diagonal lines straight, and a now-steady left hand and a striping brush for the vertical lines and rectangles. Challenge yourself for a week with your non-dominant hand. You'll pick it up quicker than you think.
