Beach Inspired Nail Art

Beach Nails

Yesterday I posted a summer nautical nail ook, so to continue with the ocean theme, today I bring you this beach-inspired design.

What I really love about this look is the fact that it includes some of my favourite nail polishes. The base colour is a combination of Essie Sand Tropez and Zoya Jules. I created the textured effect by using a makeup sponge to apply a thin layer of Jules over Sand Tropez. Next, I used BF-Beauty Image Plate C06 and Essie’s Mint Candy Apple to stamp a floral design over the base. I added dimension to the look by applying the same design with a black polish.

Easter / Spring Nails

This Easter / Spring nail look features pretty pastels in stripes and polka dots.

The base is one of my favourite pastel purple polishes, OPI Done Out In Deco. The pink stripes are a light pink nail art polish from L.A. Colors. This shade was also used for some of the dots along with China Glaze Peachy Keen, Zoya Heather, and Essie Mint Candy Apple.

Cat Inspired Nail Art

cat nails, cat nail art
While looking through the Writing Beauty photo archives, I discovered a nail look that I created long ago but never posted on my blog. As a cat lover, this is one of my favourite nail art creations.
The base colour is Essie’s Mint Candy Apple. I created the cat and paw print designs by hand using a black nail art pen. To see a tutorial on this look. click here or on the photo above.
Would you wear this cat-inspired nail look?
