Today's nail art is inspired by the talented and kind Emily from Very Emily. Emily has been going through a tough time lately, so a few of her blogger friends got together to show our support by taking inspiration from one of her manicures. Though I wish I could do more from across the world, I wanted her to know that we all care about her and will be there for her.
For my look, I was inspired by Emily's Summer Ikat Nails. I added a twist to it, doing my neon blocking horizontally rather than vertically, and throwing in some black and white splatter studs.
Nail polishes and materials used:
OPI Angel With a Leadfoot
American Apparel Hassid
Floss Gloss Con Limon
Serum No. 5 Splatter Studs
The neon blocking was painted freehand over the white base, and then I added the ikat print, carefully lining it up with the white sections only. I used topcoat to adhere the studs, and sealed them in with an additional layer.
I enjoyed doing this look, and Sean was a huge fan of the finished effect. I think in the end, I prefer Emily's vertical blocking, though I certainly do like how mine turned out too.

ReplyDeleteSuch fun nails these are! Love the neon against the black and white design.
ReplyDeleteSarah, these are nicely balanced nails and I think it's so lovely that you gals are all doing this to show support for a friend. Taking the time to think about a design and execute it, then posting and publicising it, all while thinking positive thoughts for a person in need, does have meaning even if you can't be there in person to give Emily a hug.
ReplyDeleteLovely!!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much. She is such a sweetheart and a very talented nail artist - I'm glad to call her a friend.
