Guest Post - Mosaic Nails with Nailed it NZ

Today I have a guest post for you, featuring some beautiful work from the lovely lady who runs Nailed it NZ! This is a design that has been on my to-do list for quite some time but I have never gotten around to it, so I am really happy Jessie is here to share it with us!

Hi everyone, I’m Jessie from Nailed it NZ! Amber’s very nice and letting me do a guest post for her. J

I decided to do a mosaic design – it’s my first one, and although I’d change a few things if I did it again, I’m pretty happy with how it turned out. I hope you like it too!

They’re pretty hard to see, but there’s a heart on the ring and thumb nails. I initially was going to do something like that on each finger but thought it might look a bit crowded – after all it’s a pretty busy pattern already!

It’s probably worth noting that this is all hand-painted, not that I have anything against stamping, but I like seeing what I can come up with.

To do this, I painted on the mosaic lines with my trusty Jordana striper polish – Black Mark. I then used three colours for each nail, and filled in all the gaps. Then I painted the lines again to make them a bit crisper. The hearts were the most annoying part – if I did it again I would probably just make them one colour.

These could be called either mosaic nails or stained glass windows nails, I think. This photo reminds me a lot more of the beautiful stained glass windows you can find in old churches.

And just as proof that I did do my right hand, here’s a picture of it. I can never put it in a natural pose when taking a photo! So please excuse the awkward photo!

And that’s it! Quite short and sweet for me, usually I blabber on about something completely non-related in my own posts :p.

Thanks again to Nails Like Lace for having me!
