Hello lovelies & happy Monday! It’s a brand new week already, & December is looming. While I’m brainstorming all the nail art I’m planning for December, I thought I would throw things back with a simple accent nail that reminds me of my early nail blogging days (circa 2015).
I used to be obsessed with these freehand sweater/aztec inspired accent nails, so I thought it would be fun to do one — especially as I was struggling with nail art inspiration the other night.
The polishes I used for this manicure are:
- Base Coat: Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Colour Grip Primer Base Coat
- Top Coat: Seche Vive
- Essie No More Film
- Essie All The Wave
- Essie Hors d’Oeuvres
- Essie Blanc
- Essie Bikini So Teeny
- NailStuff.ca Mermaid Tail Nail Brush Trio (11mm liner brush, 7mm liner brush)
I feel like these are giving off fun sweater vibes, & I like the combination of blues together. I was just going to do a simple skittle look with the different blues, but I decided I wanted it to be more exciting than that!
The end result turned out so fun! I haven’t had as much time for freehand nail art lately, so I really need to start playing around more often. I miss my freehand nails, so I’m definitely going to make more of an effort. Maybe I’ll redo this design in December with a Christmas-y colour scheme, & call them Ugly Christmas Sweater nails.
What do you think of today’s nail art look? Are you a fan of these simpler accent nail designs? Let me know all your thoughts down in the comments below!
🖤 Happy Monday!
