Hello lovelies,

Today I want to share with you a tutorial that I've created a year ago but never published it. It is from a time when I was creating nail art designs with Bio Seaweed Gel polishes and as I was playing with different marbling techniques, I've noticed that the colours kind of seep into each other. I started to play with the colours a bit more and the final result looked like Jack Frost painted frost on the nail! I loved it and I wanted to recreate this on my nails and wear it :)

I've used Bio Seaweed Gel in Twilight #142 and Snow White #101 for the nail art, Bio Seaweed Gel No Sanding Base and Diamond Shine Top and rounded flat brush from my local art supplies store (#6 Daler-Rowney System 3, SY67 Filbert brush).

And here's how you can do this simple nail design yourself! If you do try it then please tag me as an inspiration, I'd love to see your nails :)

 

 

So what do you think? I really like this effect. It looks simple yet interesting and I haven't seen it before so that makes it even more attractive to me! Let me know in the comments ;)

Have a lovely day! Lucie x

Hello lovelies,

Firstly, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays again! Hope you all had a wonderful time, lots of presents and good food :) I've been in a need of a break so I haven't done ANYTHING in the past week or so but I feel like I have to get back to work to catch up on the mountain of work I have here.

I'll cheat today a little bit with these nails because in all honesty, I did these nails a year ago for the Scratch Magazine except I added a pink colour over them. I managed to take pictures before the pink because I liked the jumper nails in white as well. The good news is - there are 'recycled' picture and video tutorials!

I think that white jumper nails are very elegant on their own and they would look even better with a matte topcoat. I didn't do matte topcoat because I went on to cover these in pink but if I was to leave them white I would apply a coat of matte gel top coat to finish them off.

 

I have used only Bio Seaweed Gel No Sanding Base Coat, Bio Seaweed Gel polish in Snow White and dotting tool. This particular BSG is from their All-in-one line which means it doesn't need to be topcoated and it doesn't leave a sticky residue. Perfect for this design!

Here's a picture tutorial for these:

Pretty simple, right? Well, if a picture tutorial isn't enough, here's a video tutorial. Just stop at the step 6 - painting on second coat of knit design and cure. And as I said above, if you have gel matte top coat, use it! It will be epic ;)

 

 

 

 

So that's it for today, I might go and prepare some colourful tutorial to brighten the mood..or maybe I''ll do something wintery... I'll see and you will too!

 

Have a lovely day everyone! Lucie x
