Copper tweed nails with black chevron accents

'Cause why not! Actually because Nail It! magazine put out a call for tweed nail art recently, so I gave it a go and was inspired by Karen of @sharingvu on Instagram's take on it with random black accents over the tweed. Here goes!

 
VIDEO TUTORIAL AT THE END OF THE POST!

I used my Chinese sumi brushes from @sharingvu and acrylic paint to create most of the tweed design, along with a skinny striper brush from Born Pretty Store to do the copper pieces of 'tweed' woven in the pattern. The reason why I used a regular nail art brush for the copper is because the copper is actually a nail polish, and you shouldn't use nail polish with sumi brushes because they are made of delicate bristles. Read more on that here.


Essie's 'Penny Talk'







Look, both hands! I wore this look to the office for a week and everyone loved it. Who am I kidding, no one commented, cause no one cares about my nails, but I loved it, so, yeah.


Check it out, my nails and my thesis! I was inspired by the lovely Cristina aka @crisalvarado17 to snap a pic of my #nailsandmythesis, a trending hashtag on Instagram, except that my thesis is not nearly as interesting as a peetree dish experiment... it's essentially just a 286 page book. B-O-R-I-N-G.

I used 2 different brushes in this mani:

You do not blindly drill for oil if you don’t know its there anymore. The same way businesses now target their customers before engaging eliminating those who do not require their services and business SMS is one way they have been able to do that.

  6. I really liked this work and it was my inspiration. The next day I was looking for a college research paper writing service reviews at papersbattle.com and only did that I was distracted by my nails. But in fact, this style is just as good for an office or a university: there is some idea, but not too striking.
