Negative Space All The Nails!

Hey everyone! Today's post is another monthly link-up from a Facebook group I'm part of called Paint All The Nails. Each month we do a non-compulsory monthly link-up with a theme we've all voted on. This month's theme is 'negative space', and I'm sure you all know that this was definitely my vote. There's so many designs you can do with negative space and I always love how they look. Funnily enough, I must admit that I completely forgot about this month's link up being today, and on Saturday (which is the only day I paint nails at the moment) it didn't even cross my mind. But, it happened to be that my subconscious clearly remembered, because I had an urge to do negative space nails, and I did. So rather than panic when I remembered I'd forgotten, I had a design waiting for me, and it's actually one of my favourite designs I've done. These nails were based off this post by Sakura Nail&Beauty on Instagram. The design instantly stood out to me, but I must admit I thought it might look better on shorter nails, so I gave it a go and I ended up loving the finished result. If you want to see what the other girls created this month then check out the InLinks below!



The nude colour on my middle and pinkie finger is OPI - Tiramasu For Two, with a coat of OPI - Bubble Bath over the top as I wanted it to be slightly pinker. Then I used Barry M - Cotton for the white, and Mavala - Lemon Cream, Barry M - Huckleberry and Mavala - Pistachio for the flowers. Finished off with a coat of Seche Vite. I'm not sure where the studs are from unfortunately but I would assume it's Born Pretty Store.

  7. This is darling. I adore the halos of daisies on your thumb and ring fingers. You really can't go wrong with sweet little flowers and you did such a good job! That paired with solids and stripes just really took it to another level. ♥

  8. Beige colours are so relaxing. As a rule, I ask my nail technician from the nail beauty studio to apply beige to my manicure every time, sometimes in combination with other colours. Especially, I love French made with beige...
