Because we’ve been experiencing some cold and wet wintery days in Cape Town this past week, and houndstooth reminds me of winter coats & jackets… I decided to try my first houndstooth creation this week 😉
And although the houndsthooth pattern is traditionally black & white:
I decided to be colourful:
I started with my clear base coat, and then 2 coats of L.A. Girl color ADDICT nail colour – Urge.
When that was completely dry, I painted criss-cross lines over the green on each nail, using Tip top Nailchic – Surfer Girl.
Next I used a fine nail art brush to complete the finer details, again using L.A. Girl color ADDICT nail colour – Urge, and carefully finished off with a clear top coat.
Doing this design “freehand” requires a steady hand, and a lot of patience… so don’t come back and say that I didn’t warn you… lol
Have a great weekend everyone! Looks like we’re gonna have another cold and wet one here in Cape Town, South Africa… so wrap up warm!! xx
Dis pragtig. Love it!!! Don’t think I’ll have the steady hand it patience for this, so I’ll have to come visit you when I’m home again.
Btw. We should to totally do a colab sometime. I’ll be in Somerset in Nov Dec this year. Will be fun!
Thanks Adele!! Yes that sounds like a great idea! 😀
And totally missing the cape of storms.
PS. had some proper Cape Town storms this week again… 😉
I hears so. With snow and all. I seem to miss all the snow… It’s never been that bad until I left and I love cold snowy weather. 😉
