The twenties is such a great theme with loads of fun possibilities. Initially I wanted to do something based on the artist Erte but couldn’t think of a good way of doing it on my nails, so I moved on to Art Deco in general and thought of the pretty stained glass windows associated with the movement.
It was a challenge to do detailed work like this on my nails and although I’m happy with the result I know I need to keep working on designs like this to get them neater and feel really proud of my work.
I used: My Boyfriend Scales Walls – OPI, Unfor-greta-bly Blue – OPI, Your Web or Mine – OPI, Light Blue – Kiko, Don’t Mess with OPI, Papaya Punch – China Glaze, The Last Trial – Anny, Yellow – Sweets Sweet, 2007 – Bourjois
These are pretty cool! My fave has to be the blue themed one.
Thanks – I liked the design of the blue ones too. 😄
Wow, this looks amazing! It must have taken forever to do.
Thank you! As with most of my nail art they took a good evening’s worth of TV watching to complete.
Aww! this is so beautiful! love the thumb and pinky!
Thanks! I was a bit worried that the thumb ended up looking like bright orange bamboo – but maybe I was just looking at it too long!
wow this is incredible! It looks like stained glass. I love it
Thanks- it was based on those Art Deco windows, so I’m glad you think it looks like stained glass!
These are wonderful! The orange & yellow nails!
Thank you! I really enjoy doing a really detailed manicure. 😄
Love this! I love Art Deco 🙂 great job!
Thanks! Glad you like it – Art Deco is so pretty and fun for nail art inspiration.
