About this look:
Not only is sushi incredibly yummy, it's also very cute! Take for example cute sushi illustrations, yummy sushi pyjamas, cats on sushi (I don't get this one but it's pretty cute!), and of course, lil' sushis on my nails. :) Therefore, I rest my case - sushi is awesome.

To get this look:
I painted this entire design freehand. I'm not going to lie, it was time-consuming - about three hours from start to finish. I used my Pure Glamor No. 1 detailer from Stylish Nail Art on Etsy - unfortunately the shop is still closed, hopefully one day it will reopen.

The basic technique for doing this design is simple - using black thinned with nail polish thinner, I lightly painted the outlines for each item. I coloured everything in, then finished by outlining with black. I mixed some colours, while others I used the nail polish unmixed. I always use nail polish thinner when doing this kind of work - it makes it easier to paint with the polish.
