Bringing back some lighter posts after sharing some heavy family stuff! Thank you all for being here, dear readers. <3

I recently shared this mani on instagram (on of my favorites!) and thought it would be helpful to add my step-by-step and links here in a post so here we go! As always, I started with my favorite base coat strengthener, and then the following products:

Let’s start with the sweater nail! Here’s a snapshot of my process:
Colors for the sweater nail are:
- Essie’s “The Snuggle is Real” for the nude base
- Apple Barrel acrylic paint (white) applied with nail art brushes (Amazon)
The two abstract nails were done as follows:
Colors for these are:
- Ella Mila’s “Bold” for the sheer pink base
- Essie’s “You Know the Espadrille”
- Gold Foils from Amazon
- Water decals from Amazon applied with a jelly stamper
Other items I used were Ella Mila’s “After Party” for the pinky and thumb, and of course a good shiny quick-drying topcoat + a matte topcoat (for the sweater nail).
What do we think of the finished product?? Would you try these? <3

xoxo,
