I made this for a super fun collab over at insta where we were assigned a random other participant and we would get inspired by one of their manicures. My inspo was from @bigbluemani ☺️ My handle is @bettinas.nails over there, and I posted their look into my stories and tomorrow I'll post a reel with some video footage of this manicure in case you are curious.
Background is sponged, everything else freehanded. The magnetics are all velvetized.

these belong in the louvre 🪻💕
This has big Monet energy I love it
Actually stunning! They’re like mini paintings on each nail and I love the colours you chose.
the impressionist of our times – a staggering work
These are beautiful.
I’m always curious – are these your natural nails and you painted directly on them? Or are they a set you painted and then applied? I’m always trying to figure out how to do nail art (no where near close to your ability) and I don’t like wearing sets.
Thanks for sharing these!
