Showing posts with label zentangle

Hello lovelies,

I've recently fell in love with recreating Zentangle® patterns on my nails and this is the third manicure of this type I'm showing you. I again have a simple tutorial! If you've missed the previous manicure with Jonqual pattern, check it out HERE.

So for this manicure I have used A England She Walks In Beauty as a base colour and black acrylic paint. It is much easire to work with acrylic paint if you're doing more elaborate designs. Nail polish gets thick and gloopy very fast and you'd just waste a lot of it. I have sealed the design with topcoat but I should have used two coats of topcoats as the camera picked up not completely smooth surface.

Oh and what ring am I wearing? It's beautiful, isn't it? I love how it changes colours depending on an angle so I took more pics for you. It's French Connection ring and I got it from Zalando.co.uk along with some other rings that I'll show you in the future. They have so many pretty things there, I got some hand creams and scrubs from their beauty section as well...but I'll review them later.

Hello lovelies,

Today I have here another patterned nails with tutorial - the Jonqal pattern. After the basket weave I kinda fell in love with these and you can look forward to more designs like this. I hope you'll like them! Don't worry I will do different techniques as well and of course swatches too.

So for this manicure I have used Pixi Evening Emerald, white acrylic paint and Seche Vite Fast Drying topcoat. You could do it with nail polish instead of the acrylic paint but I find it easier to work with. And of course dark colour over light would be probably more opaque.

What do you think? Do you like patterns on nails?
