Brick Nails

1 Jun

I love these nails!  I’ve had bricks on my “To Do” list for a while now.  Why did I wait so long to try it?  Oh wait, that’s right, it took forever!  That’s why!

Of course I didn’t anticipate that.  I initially thought I would start with red and fill in the grout lines with a thin, striping brush after the fact.  I decided against it because I didn’t want the lines to be too straight.  I wanted it to look  imperfect just like real brick.

I started with a base color of Essie Power Clutch then sponged some Sally Hansen Wet Cement over the top of it virgated effect.  To make the bricks I went back in with Julep Boris & Nicole and a small dotting tool.  I love the dimension!  I’m keeping this one on for a few days.  I love it and it was a ton of work, so it deserves to stay put for a while.

Who would’ve thought that brick nail art would have been so fantastic!  This mani was super easy to photograph too.  Bonus!
