Nursery Nails

Remember me saying I was helping a co-worker design a baby's nursery? Well that co-worker also happens to be Kim, my sister! Thankfully she has given me free reign to do whatever with the baby's room, and it's turning out really cute.:)
Check out how I've painted the walls. Aren't they adorable!? I used blue painter's tape to mask off the squiggly line. I then painted the bottom portion with a light green color, then the top portion with a darker shade of green. Pulled off the tape, and came back in with an ivory paint and a small brush.

I wanted to translate the same concept into a funky french.

I started with China Glaze Refresh Mint

Then added very rough french tips with a frankened light green that I made. It's just a few shades darker than Refresh Mint.

Then I took white acrylic paint and added the squiggly lines.


Then added topcoat.

I think it's cute, but even cuter on the walls. :)

  12. Really cute. Works for me for a take on French/American tips - actually more into the end of nail art I guess - and one that just about anyone should be able to do. I find these types that are easy for folks to follow the best ones in most blogs - way more chance I will first remember it - and second - be able to do it! Nursery looks really cute.

  14. Cute! And if you use different colors, you could use the squiggle line as a strand of Xmas lights if you put little multi colored or glitter dots down.:)
