Nail Art Style: anchor

Showing posts with label anchor. Show all posts

Some of you might recall the anchor nails I did a while back:

Evidently this picture turned out to be one of my most stolen pictures. I constantly find it on fashion Instagram pages and such. Anyway I was asked to make a tutorial for the anchor so that's what I have for you today.

Step One:

Paint your base color. For this tutorial I used China Glaze That's Shore Bright.

In my original design I used Essie First Timer.

Step Two:

Start your anchor by painting a small circle. This will the the top of your anchor.

Step Three:

Make a thin line straight down from the circle.

Step Four:

Paint the sides of the anchor, make sure the bottom is relatively pointy.

Step Five:

Paint points on the end of the sides of the anchor.

Step Six:

Paint a short line, crossing the anchor around the middle.

Step Seven (kind of):

To complete the look add nails with polka dots and stripes. Glitter too! I used Essie Beyond Cozy in the original design.

Hope you like this. Let me know if you try, I'd love to see!

Picture to sum it all up:

Hello all! As some of you might recall, I did these anchor nails a while back.

Somehow they got really popular and I've seen many nails done by other people inspired by mine.

It's honestly the coolest thing ever seeing work inspired by me.

A few weeks ago I saw this picture and it inspired me.

Here's the nails I came up with.

I love florals more than anything else. If you haven't noticed.

I used Pure Ice's Home Run for this manicure. I use this polish all the time, it's perfect!

Overall, I really love these nails. Apparently everyone else did too, because it's my most liked picture on Instagram. Thanks guys!

I did a pictorial on these, but that will be in a different post.

Thanks for reading!
