5 colour aquarelle nails

I'm loving sponge painting! This beautiful nail art style was inspired by the Very Emily blog (http://www.emilydenisephotography.com/blog/?p=1727) She's brilliant! You may wish to try this technique! First, put a clear base coat on. Next, give your nails one coat of white with the brush. Then randomly paint different colours onto small areas of a make up sponge, which you then apply to the nails. You are an artist and your nails are the media. 

I used:

-China Glaze First & Last (for base coat)

-China Glaze White on White 70255

-Essie Pink Parka

-OPI The "It" Color (yellow)

-Illamasqua (orange)

-Boots No7 Stay Perfect Vivid Violet 40

-Seche Vite dry fast top coat

This one's so easy, you might wanna try it!  First, put a clear base coat on.  Next, give your nails one coat of white with the brush.  Then randomly paint different colours onto small areas of a make up sponge, which you then apply to the nails.  Finish with a top coat.  You'll have beautiful art on your nails.

3 pink sponge arty nails!

 

I love colour on my nails and last Friday I wore my fave. Pink. In 3 shades.  You may wish to create something similar. Start with a clear base coat, always. Then brush paint your first colour on the whole nail. I used a soft pink by Nails Inc. London called Warwick Ave. You needn't use the exact same, you may use your equivalent(s). For my next two coats I dabbed the paint on with a make up sponge. First, a neon pink Essie about two thirds up the nail, then Boots No7 Pink Grapefruit 80 for the third of the nail (near the tip). Pink is gorgeous. Vibrant. Punk. Spiritual. That's why it rocks...I mean...trances!
