As a part of their final challenge, the competitors are asked to create nail art inspired by their signature look and artistic point of view. Today, I've got a tutorial for you that includes a taste of my artistic point of view! It includes lots of my favorite design elements, so let's take a look and go on a learning journey together.
P.S. In case you missed my television debut on the show three weeks ago, I'm making my triumphant return on tonight's episode to share a quick, 30 second glitter gradient tutorial!
For this tutorial, I incorporated a long list of my favorite things. First of all, I knew I wanted it to be matte. I am obsessed with matte nail art so it was a must for my design. Second, I wanted it to include bright colors and negative space. Third, I wanted it to be easy.
Wait, what? "Easy" is part of my artistic point of view? Well, kind of! While I love tackling intricate nail art and difficult patterns, I also love showing people that nail art isn't as scary as it can seem sometimes. It doesn't take mountains of time or an arsenal of expensive tools to pull off a really interesting, chic effect.
Supplies used:
Small nail art brush
Washi tape
LVX Cashmere
Julie G Old San Juan
Julie G Rio de Janeiro
Julie G Tahiti
Julie G Black Sheep
Glisten and Glow HK Girl
Essie Matte About You
Though I've used a nail art brush in my demo, this look could definitely be accomplished with a toothpick instead. Hop to it!

ReplyDeleteNo problem Lisa!
ReplyDeleteNot a fav of mine - seems unfinished somehow and I normally do like some of the negative space manis - maybe this one just has too much negative space all in the one v-gap area? like to see it with a sheer nude in the v-gap and a tad darker base for the painted non v-gap area
ReplyDeleteFeel free to alter it as you see fit!
ReplyDeleteI could totally see doing this in a Christmas way! I love it.
