The Nail Challenge Collaborative: Stripes - Week 3

Hello lovelies!

Who else is excited that it's almost the weekend? I think I'm starting to get sick so yeah, I'm ready for it haha. 

Anyways, let's get onto the nails!

Here's what I used:

Guess who found another cool, new studio with awesome patterns? I did! Today's nail art was inspired by this pattern from Annika Studio. I thought it was kind of neat that there's a bunch of different color versions up on site.

I started these nails off with two or three coats of Gothic Gala Lacquers's Silver and a layer of HK Girl. Then using my detail brush and the acrylic paints, I painted on the little dashes. Close-up the lines look a bit wonky but from an arms length away, you can't even tell what's going on when looking at these haha. Everything was sealed in with another layer of HK Girl.

I need one more idea for this month's The Nail Challenge Collaborative theme! I liked how the stripes of these nails were made up of another little shape, so who knows, maybe I'll explore that a little more. I guess you guys will just have to check bak later to find out (:


Thanks for reading guys!
