Today I've got my first attempt at denim nails to show you. For this design I used white nails (so that the white showed through a little) and a dark blue acrylic paint. I didn't topcoat this design because who wants shiny denim!
I used a big paint brush and covered the nail in thick blue paint. I then used some crumpled up kitchen roll to blot off lots of the paint. It's not perfect but I like the effect and I'll do this again (and in other colours) and add on some studs or spikes!
Get your denim on and Get Nailed :)

this looks exactly like denim! you should add some orangey stitching to look like jeans!
ReplyDeleteThank you :) That's a good idea!
DeleteI really like the texture of these :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Sam :)
DeleteWhat a great way to do homemade denim look. I think Nails inc are bringing it out or have brought it out (cant remember), so this is a great way to do the texture by hand. Very nice. I did a post on Primark nail varnish so feel free to have a look and see what you think.
