Hi there!
Today I am showing you some amateur nail art (I'm getting better, I swear!) For this manicure I wanted to do something fun and simple using a few shades of pink. I started using scotch tape but winded up doing it freehand- I didn't want to wait for the polish to dry to use tape, I'm so impatient!
Take a look at my striped accent nail :)
Me likey! I was surprised at how well this turned out, really! If you haven't gathered, I am a huge fan of the accent nail. I think that in this case especially it gives the overall feel of 'just enough'.
For this look I used:
OPI If You Moust You Moust (base pink & middle pink stripe)
Butter London Trout Pout (light pink stripe)
Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Celeb City (silver stripes)So what does everyone think about my striped accent nail? I am totally loving it, and can't wait to try my hand at simple nail art like this again :D

ReplyDeleteI love the accent nail, it's like a little pop of attitude! It's almost impossible for me to do a manicure without one!

ReplyDeleteIt looks great!! I wouldn't have known it was free hand if you hadn't said so--very steady hand!
ReplyDeleteIt's so pretty!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, have you tried the scotch tape trick? You paint scotch tape, wait for it to dry, and then cut it up as you see fit for some easy nail art.
I love it, the color combo is very sweet and pretty. I love accent nails too, except when people ask "why is this nail different?" ... Well, 'cause I wanted it to be different haha!
ReplyDeletevery nice and very summer! good job!!
ReplyDeleteThis is a really beautiful pink! I love the stripes with it! ^.^

ReplyDeleteIt's so cute, and that's some really steady freehand work! I love how the pink reflects off of the silver. ^_^
ReplyDeleteThis is really cute! And you are great at freehand stripes... I could never do this!
ReplyDeleteI'm all about the accent nail as well and your freehand is great. I rarely have the patience it takes to do a tape mani so I usually freehand as well. My mani's don't last long enough to justify spending an hour doing them. ;)
