Marimekko inspired nail art

Source
For this Nail Art Sunday Lela has chosen a fun theme for us to be inspired by; Marimekko. And if not all of you know about them, Marimekko is a finish design company with graphical patterns which can be found in fabrics such as curtains, pillowcases but also porcelain etc.

I googled and found a bunch of pillows which I liked and felt inspired by. The nail art I did ended up being more of a free interpretation rather than an exact copy. I've done dots on most nails and then I've done some needle dragging on some accents nails. I really like the color combo of black, white and yellow together and I like the end result. :)

Let's have a look;





Kleancolor - Neon Yellow
Nordic Cap - NP13
Nordic Cap - NP12

What do you think? Do you like the color combo? Have all my readers heard about Marimekko?

  6. Brukar inte gilla needledragning något vidare, tycker det är lite för brokigt. Men här blommade det verkligen upp:) En supersnygg manikyr!
