TGIF! It's finally time for the weekend, which of course always get the party going. For me though, I am excited about weird adult things... like finally have time to clean the house top to bottom. But I also get to catch up and work on nail things! Expect a weekend post(s), woo! Anyway today is the second challenge for the 40 Great Nail Art Ideas prompt group and I had to do a teal negative space. I definitely got an easy one so let's take a look at what I came up with.
What do you think? Yes, I played it super safe with this nail look and went simple. I do love how it turned out though. This marks one of the first times I have exposed so much nail for a negative space mani. That's right guys, I'm flashing you haha.
I really decided to dig in deep into my collection and use nothing but Essie for this mani. I feel like it's a brand I barely use, but I do have a good amount of. So for this mani I used Sugar Daddy, I'm Addicted, and Blanc.
Now the only thing that made me super excited about this mani is that I finally got to use my metal dotting tool from Winstonia. I believe I got this for my birthday a few months ago and I just put it away and didn't think about it. I love all the sizes it came with, didn't expect there to be so many actually. It's a very sleek tool that has made me plan out a few more dotticures this month haha.
To finish off my mani I decided to go with a matte topcoat (my favorite being from Butter London). I love the look that the matte gives the whole thing overall. Now I feel I'm going to go back into a 'matte all the things' phase haha.
Matte things aside, I am really excited to start doing some art again - even if it's minimalist like it is here. Hopefully as the challenges progress I can really give my freehand a work out. And you know, not totally hulk out over nail fails haha.
I love it! I think simple is sometimes better and This is a perfect example. It has a fun but classy touch to it :)

ReplyDeleteI really like the dots...and Im slightly jealous of how evenly they turned out.
ReplyDeleteI love the look of the matte with the negative space, it dresses up the "naked nail" and makes the whole look really something special!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I love the dots!
