About this design:
The images come from a website specializing in Talavera tiles. What struck me about the designs was the simplicity. Also I like that the designs have a vintage look, I can imagine this on a dress from the '70s.

To get this look:
I painted the entire design freehand. After I painted my base, I did a coat of quick-dry top coat. That way, I could clean up my lines with a detail brush dipped in acetone (dab on a paper towel first).
- Base: OPI My Vampire is Buff
- Design: OPI Keeping Suzi At Bay, Essie Snap Happy
- Brush: Edinburgh 3/4 from Stylish Nail Art Shop on Etsy
- Top coats: KBShimmer Clearly On Top and Cult Nails Wax That

I really, really love the simplicity of this design - in case you haven't noticed! It's a reminder to me that nail art does not have to be complicated to be interesting. For me, this is a perfect look for a nice summer day.
What do you think of this? What's your favourite design from the Digit-al Dozen countries and cultures week?

These are beautiful! The colors look great together.
ReplyDeleteThank you Marisa! The colours remind me of Independence Day but it doesn't scream Americana, haha!
DeleteThese look awesome and looks exactly like your inspiration too!

ReplyDeleteThank you Vic! :)
DeleteThese are more simple than your Delftware nails, but I'm not sure which I love more! I love painted ceramic tiles!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I think I enjoy these ones more, only because I know they were harder to do. lol!
DeleteThese are really pretty :)
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteSo pretty - the design is simpler than some of your other art, but it's so hard to do simple well. Love it!
ReplyDeleteThank you, I couldn't have said it better myself. I totally agree!
DeleteThese are stunning :)
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteYou did an amazing job with this week and I think this mani is my favourite! I love the addition of the topcoat too, really finished the whole thing nicely.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! It was really one of my favourite challenges in some time, and it came at a time when I was finishing with my dissertation - so win win! I agree the matte top coat works well here. It also makes it easier to photograph. :)
DeleteI love how this turned out! Gorgeousness!
ReplyDeleteThese are so pretty! Just beautiful really!
