The Nail Coven

The sun is shining, birds are chirping in the trees, but nothing can distract me from staring at these thumbs! Finally, after what feels like a thousand years, I seem to be getting the hang of isolated chrome. I’ve really struggled with this relentlessly tricky technique, so it’s time to break out the cordial wine and celebrate!!

And ok, maybe my version of Anne looks a little scraggly/haunted, but that’s on brand for me so you get what you get. 😂

Overall, I love this set of spring nails inspired by the Puffin special edition of Anne of Green Gables!!

Which childhood favourite books would you want painted on your nails?

Thick Black Liner, Deep Papaya, Vermillion Orange, Green Pepper, Army Tank, Passion Berry, Caribbean Turquoise, Marilyn’s Blood
Californian, Carrie’s Cosmo
Mali-blue
Dark Chocolate

Florals, for spring? Groundbreaking.

But how about a floral Anne of Green Gables-inspired mani! 🌸👒

The fun part is that these nails don’t seem obviously bookish until you see the thumbs! I’ll post them separately because they deserve their own spot on the grid. ☺️

These types of manis fill my heart with joy, and I can’t wait to see which books you’ll want on your nails!

Almond Concealer, Green Pepper, Army Tank, Passion Berry, Bluey White
Californian, Carrie’s Cosmo

Dark Chocolate

Magnetic polish + iridescent flakies + holo glitter = 🤩

Inspired by fairy wings, these babies look different every time the light hits and I can’t get enough. Always satisfying when I can paint a decent line with my non-dominant hand, too. ☺️

Aquatic flower vibes for 🌸

Were they intentionally aquatic? Not exactly. But sometimes awesome art comes from unexpected results! 😍

And remember that no matter the length of your nails, there’s always room for art!

There are a few ways to paint marble/stone nails and using bleeding ink is always a fun time.

Is it messy? Sure can be! But doesn’t that make it even more fun? Yes! That is, until you spill it all over your desk. 😳🤦🏻‍♀️

Are you Team Marble or Team Golden Amethyst?
