Hello lovelies & happy August!
This Summer has been speeding by at record speed, & it’s been a busy one at that. I’ve still been painting my nails, but mostly solid colours. & I really miss nail art. So I’m going to make a conscious effort to create some fun nail art looks, even if it’s not at the same frequency I used to do.
& I absolutely love this nail art look. Obviously, being August I can hear the faint call of Autumn — but I’m trying to stay in the Summer moment. Hence a fun plaid look, but with a bit of Summer feel.
The polishes I used for this manicure are:
- Base Coat: Essie Hard To Resist Strengthner
- Top Coat: Sinful Colors Power Paint Top Coat + Essie Speed Setter
- Color Club Totally Inno-cent
- Color Club Pucci-licious
- Color Club Twice Bitten
- Londontown Opal
- Orly Breathable Barely There
- Wet n Wild 2% Milk
- NailStuff.ca 16mm Striper Brush
To stay I’m obsessed with this look would be an understatement. The shimmery flakie base is really pretty, & I tried to choose lighter shades for my plaid stripes. I feel like this is the perfect melding of Summer vibes, with just a hint of Autumn on the breeze.
Are my lines perfect? No. But I’m trying to be okay with not being perfect with my nail art. It’s more fun when I’m not constantly stressing over how things look.
What do you think of these Summer-y plaid nails? Is this a nail art look that you could see yourself wearing? Let me know all your thoughts on this nail art look, & what you think of how they turned out!
Happy Thursday.
