While Emma dances her way into the big
leagues, she’s asked some bloggers to fill Globe & Nail with some content.
My name’s Katy, and I blog at Nailed It. Emma actually helped me
by doing a guest
post during one of my vacations in December. I’m excited to return the
favor and get to meet some new readers!
Nailed
It focuses primarily on nail art. While I do swatches and reviews, they’re
always accompanied by some unique nail art. In keeping with that theme, I’ve
got some fabric-inspired nail art to share today.
This look was inspired by a pin I’d saved from
Spoonflower.com, a custom fabric site. I loved the colors (yellow’s my
favorite) and the design was really fun to recreate.
I started with a base of My Boyfriend Scales Walls (OPI). Then I
free-handed some little arrows in varying sizes and depths using Black Onyx (OPI) and some tape. After
that all had time to dry, I taped off small strips on my nails and did a quick
swipe of the jelly-licious Abbacadazzle (Sation). This thin yellow jelly
worked perfectly for the effect, wouldn’t you agree? You
can try similar looks with any color of jelly polish, but I love the way the
yellow pops. As I mentioned, it’s my favorite.
Thanks for
tuning in to Globe & Nail today to see Nailed It! You can follow Nailed It the blog, or check in on me through Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Tumblr, Pinterest, OR Google+. Whew! Social media’s exhausting!
Best of luck
in your auditions Emma, and thanks again for having me at Globe & Nail!
