Are you familiar with celebrity chef Mario Batali? He's known for his Italian food, cheerful demeanor, and, possibly most importantly, his orange Crocs. Those foam clogs are so darn memorable, and people either love them or hate them.
Whenever I do my perforated leather nail art look, people inevitably comment that the nails look like Crocs. So this time, I decided to embrace it and use the technique to represent Mario's orange clogs for orange day of the 31 Day Challenge!
For this nail art, I used:
OPI In My Back Pocket
OPI Matte Topcoat
Essie Blanc
American Apparel Hassid
Perforated leather nail art tutorial
So of course we've got his crocs on my middle and pointer fingers. Then I freehanded a chef coat on my ring finger, with a bit of negative space, and striped accent nails on my pinky and thumb to represent a patterned apron.
I personally find these nails hilarious. I love when nail art is a bit cheeky! What do you think? Too much, or just enough?
Want more orange? Here are the orange manicures I've done in the past:
