Hello loves! So as most of you may know when I started this blog a decade ago my posts plus social media post mainly consisted of nail art as that is my true passion and over the years I started reviewing nail polish, nail products and other beauty products which over time just sort of took over. Well now that its officially been 10 years since I started I really wanted to get back to my roots and do much more of what makes me happy so I decided to join the Glam Nails Challenge on instagram. @nbnailart is the creator of the challenge and every month they creates a list of prompts to do nail art with and Day One of February is Elephants! Here is what I created!
I will also be doing a new segment along with this challenge called "My Nails & Makeup" where I do a makeup look inspired by the nail art I created!
Read on to find out how I created this nail art plus see the products used!
I first started by painting the glitter polish on my thumb and pinky by doing the dabbing method with a sponge to achieve a full coverage look. I then used nail vinyls for the straight lines on my index and ring nails. Lastly I free hand painted the adorable little elephant with acrylic paints. Sealed it all with a fast dry glossy top coat and a matte top coat.
Products Used:
TwinkleT - Straight Vinyls
Whats Up Nails - Dance 24 Paint Brush
Night Owl Lacquer - Watching The Rain (Blue Gray)
KBshimmer - Pink of Swim (Light Pink)
Glisten & Glow - New Shell Phone, Who Dis? (Bright Pink)
Lacquerlicious - Class Act (Glitter)
Vibrant Vinyls - Fast & Hard Glossy Top Coat
Bluebird Lacquer - Hey Matter Matter! (Matte Top Coat)
Apple Barrel Acrylic Paints
That's it! I hope you guys will enjoy seeing more nail art on my blog and social medias! Don't worry, I will still be reviewing and swatching a good chunk of polish and other beauty products each month, just not full time like I have for the past decade. Hope you guys will all be okay with that!
