Braided cartoon nail art

Took a little break from the blog as you probably noticed. I've had a lot to do and still have some left. But let us look at some nail art then, shall we? Here I have an archive thing I did in November last year. I wanted to do something braided and did a gradient as a base. I like the gradient but I think the design would have looked better if the braided lines would have been thinner exposing the base a bit more. Now on the other hand it look a bit like cartoon like. And sorry in advance for the mess and somewhat crappy pictures.

And yea, this week I'll show some tutorials I've done so heads up for those. And if you have any request please go ahead and shoot. :)

Braided/woven nail art in red and pastel blue

It's nail art Sunday at Lelack and of cause I'm in. There is no theme this week and I had an amazing idea but unfortunately I got the misfortune to not have any remover at home! That could be a polish nerd's worst night mare and yea, I'm not stoked, usually I always got a liter laying around but this time I don't know how I planned. My nails are painted but I've worn the same one for three days now, pretty but still. Luckily my archive is a polish/nail art-pictured filled pig so I've got a nail art to show you any how! :)

As you saw by the title I've made a braided nail art, seriously braided ;) as accent nails and then sloping funky french on the rest.

I actually was stubborn enough to make two accent nails on my dominant hand too. Of cause that hand took about fives times longer to complete if you know what I mean? ;)

I've done another one of these braided nail arts before, but this one is by far my best attempt. I will definitely make more ones.

I actually like this color combination, it feels unexpected some how.

Below you see the bottles, I've really started to like Sensuous as a base for french manicures. Gabrini Elegant (blue) I bought on a vacation to Crete for some years ago.

Braided accent nail art

This nail art has simple regular fingers but one nail I really worked on. I guess that you an see which one. ;) It was quite some time ago I made this, and I think that it's time for me to try this out again (the braided part). Hope you like it despite the "non-quality" of the pictures.
