Hi everyone!
Today's design was completely inspired by a new polish I bought: NYC Ink Stain.
When I bought it, a friend of mine said "Oh that's so cool, you could do like writing on your nails because the colour resembles ink!" And I thought that was a really good idea :)
I didn't want to do all writing on my nails - I wanted some doodles like I had distractedly drew random things on them. I decided on love doodles because I was in a childish/romantic mood :)
I first used three coats of OPI Alpine Snow, and then I painted on the hearts and words with a small brush.
I quite like how they turned out - it would have been better if I had thought more about the placing of the hearts instead of just jumping right in as I always do, but it's a lesson learned (or probably not actually in my case).
I hope you like my design and thanks for reading :)
It really looks like a white paper with writing on it, very interesting design and a gorgeous indigo blue!
ReplyDeleteThank you Andrea! And yes the blue polish is soo pretty!
DeleteWow! That's so awesome! Great idea:) I like your handwriting:D and it really looks like a ink:)
ReplyDeleteThank you! Unfortunately I did my extra best to write pretty here so my real handwriting doesn't look so nice haha :)
DeleteI love this design! Your friend had a great idea! Ink Stain is one of my favourite nail polishes too! :)
ReplyDeleteInk Stain is indeed gorgeous! It's such a great vibrant blue! And yes, I'm really glad my friend got that idea - I'm honestly not sure if I would have thought of it so all credit goes to her :)
Deletereally cool design! and the others are right, it really looks like ink! =)
ReplyDeleteThank you! It's really amazing how much it resembles ink (but otherwise I would have been a bit dissapointed in the name haha)
DeleteI love the doodly look! The "sun" heart on your pinky finger (if that makes any sense haha) is the cutest :)
ReplyDeleteHaha it makes perfect sense, I know what you mean! I actually re-did that nail because I wasn't happy with the hearts I had, and then I came up with the sun heart :)
DeleteThis looks beautiful, I really love doodle nail ideas! Also doesn't that blue look stunning! Makes me think of proper ink :) xx
ReplyDeleteThank you! It really is amazing how much it resembles ink, so awesome!
DeleteLovely manicure :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Claudia! :)
DeleteLove the look, very cute!
ReplyDeleteThank you! :)
DeleteThis is such a great idea! Really takes me back to high school doodling love hearts over everything - although I do still end up doing that if I have a pen and paper handy :p anyway fab mani, you did a great job :D xx
ReplyDeleteThank you Emily! Haha your comment is making me think back of when I was 16 and bored in class so I doodled all over my notes! (which I actually still do in class now woops)
DeleteEven our professor liked that design ;)
ReplyDeleteHehe, true! :D
