This project was difficult to tackle; I did not have any idea on which animation I wanted to do, nor did I have too much technical knowledge on where to start. However, I got inspired from my friend’s nail kit. My friends and I would go to her room and do each other’s nails sometimes- and I thought it would be a cool idea to display different nail polishes that circulate. For the code, I referred to the template to get initial ideas on where to develop my code. Overall, this was an interesting project!
