Winter embellishments
Step by Step
‘Tis the season for sparkle, so have a go at recreating this eye-catching nail look by Sophie Harris-Greenslade…
“I’ve had an image of a beautiful dress from a Chanel Haure couture show pinned on one of my Pinterest boards for a while as I thought it would make for an amazing nail art design. The dress is white with embellished sleeves of gold thread and beads interspersed with tiny red crystals. It reminds me of winter berries on branches or baubles on a Christmas tree branch, and in this design I have changed the gold thread to a silver for a more wintry feel. It adds a great texture to the design and I have also used tiny silver sequins for a 3D metallic effect. You can use nail art glue to stick the thread and embellishments onto the nail or encapsulate them in gel or L&P acrylic.”
