Stained Glass Nail Art

Well, hello there!

Today, I will be posting about the first ever nail art I have done in a really long while. This is a twin manicure that I did up with my nail mail buddy Narmai, from PiggieLuv! Do check out her blog and show her some of your support!

She let me choose the design since I am a newbie to nail art. I decided to do stained glass as I was inspired by the twin nails done up by Just1nail & Paintedpolishbylexi . From there, I went on to google for stained glass designs. My younger sister helped me search too, and she really liked the stained glass heart nails done by Kay (@twentysixnails) hence, the mix of both. Kay was inspired by another lady, IG @dressedupnails.

This is our twin mani that we had done up!

As you can tell, Narmai's lines are really thin and neat! I really like what she has come up for her color combination! Escpecially for the red heart! It seems like a very gradual tone for the orangey-red polish she used on her nails!

This is my solo shot of my nails!

This is my first time using a nail art pen to do my mani, so I got a bit messed up in using the pen. I accidentally used it the wrong way, hence the really thick and black lines. However, I did attempt this stained glass once more on my mum's toes, they came out pretty decent. My mum really liked it. If I had a chance, I will take a photo and post it up! (: She felt that her toes reminded her of the trip to Europe, where she was in Rome churches with my dad and their friends.

I left some parts of the nail unpainted, as after googling pictures on stained glass, I notice there was a tendency to leave some translucent glass in the picture. Hence, I like it too! :)
