Fashion Fingernail Friday!!!!

     If you follow me on Instagram (@Haylz_Nailz), you'll know that every Friday is referred to as #fashionfingernailfriday. This is where I find inspiration through designer clothing and turn it into nail art! You can find inspiration for art in almost anything, that's what makes it so fun!
     For this week I chose a dress from fashion designer Nanette Lepore's ready to wear 2013 Fall collection! This whole collection was inspired by planet Mars, which I think is so cool and different! Every piece has a very "earthy" look, specifically the piece I chose, which is a teal and green dress. The dress literally looks like "a slice of earth", which is how the designer herself described this collection.

 

 

To achieve this look on my nails I used two colors, Kleancolor's 'Fashionista' and 'Neon Aqua'. The first thing you want to do is paint your base with the green color first (fashionista). Then once that has dried, you want to layer the aqua color over it. As that begins to dry, you want to take either a brush or qtip soaked in acetone and drag it across your nail, this will take away some of the blue so you are able to start seeing the green poke through. If after you have done this you still think more green needs to be shown, you can put a little of the color on a brush and go over the nail until you reach the desired look. I also used a black nail art pen to just make sporadic edges around the green, this also helps with the smudging effect. The last thing you want to do is use a matte finish and you've officially completed this awesome look! This is how my turned out....
