Top 13 Favorite Nail Art Posts of 2013


I've finally decided on my 13 favorite nail art manicures of 2013! These selections are based on my personal preferences, not post popularity. Unfortunately, I just couldn't bring myself to put them in any special order this year. So I've just put them all together in a collage, and included the links to each of the posts below. Which one is your favorite? Do you think I missed any crucial manicures?
  1. Cattails at Sunset - Guest Post on All Lacquered Up
  2. Hipster Mix and Match - China Glaze Sunsational Nail Art
  3. 31DC2013 Day 03: Yellow Bee Silhouettes
  4. 31DC2013 Day 07: Black and White Midnight Smoke Nail Art
  5. MINIONS!! - Despicable Me Nail Art
  6. The Tadashi Shoji Nail Art Challenge - Final Clutch Design and Matching Nail Art
  7. TUTORIAL: Sugared Stars and Stripes
  8. Pantone Color of the Year 2014: Radiant Orchid Nail Art

  12. Yo Dawg I Heard You Like Nails

2013 was a great year for Chalkboard Nails. I won the Tadashi Shoji Nail Art Challenge and got to provide input on a limited edition clutch, one of my photos was on The Today Show, I flew to NYC to judge the Sally Hansen I Heart Nail Art finale, a couple of my manicures were published in Redbook Magazine, I got to do an interview for Nail It! Magazine, and I participated in a video interview series for Nicole by OPI. I got to work with great brands, meet great people, and push my limits as a nail artist. I hope my good fortune continues in 2014!
