Here's my #nailscavengerhunt mani for yesterday…sorry I'm late but I just learned about the scavenger hunt yesterday 😣 This is #11 #mynailsandaruler I couldn't find a ruler (despite the fact that I have 3 school aged children 😕) so I used a measuring tape..but hey – Desperate times call for desperate measures…pun intended lol!! Credit to @cutepolish for the YouTube tutorial for the crayon. I also found the ideas for the others online but no names to give credit too…sorry. I used @chickpickpolish Blow Job as my chalkboard base with acrylic paint for the chalk no top coat because both finish matte like a chalkboard. I used acrylic paint for the crayon and a top coat over the bottom but not the top so it would resemble paper. And matte top coat for the pencil eraser for that true eraser look lol!! @huggles_and_snuggles @indigo.inspiration #backtoschoolnails #backtoschoolmani #schoolnails #pencilnails #crayonnails #chalkboardnails #chickpickpolish #nailsnailsnails #nailsofig #nailswag #polishperfection #nailartjunkie #nailart #notd #nailsoftheday #manioftheday #instanails #polishlicious #polishaa #nailpolishnerd #nailstagram #nailpromote #nails2inspire #showmynails

Hola chicas! Esta noche les muestro un diseño que había hecho para participar en el tema #vueltaalcole del #retoliganailista pero al final decidí no participar, es que estaba atrasando por cosas que tenía que hacer y ya estaba en otros dos retos, más las colaboraciones, preferí dejarlo así pero igual se los muestro 😊. . El color base es #vestfriends de @chinaglazeofficial cortesía de @kapaluatrading, el estampado es con el color blanco de y negro de @beautybigbangnail y la placa es @bornprettyofficial #BPL065. La base blanca es @wyniebeauty #jumbo y para finalizar apliqué @sechenails #sechevite #fastdry top coat. . #nails #nailart #thenailstory #gorgeousnails #españanails #backtoschoolnails #uñasvenezuela #nailartvzla #nailsvzla #nailespaña #chinaglazenailart #chinaglazenails #chinaglazepolish #chinaglazenailpolish #stampingnails #stampingnailart #nailstamp #nailstamping #nailaddict #nailpolishaddict #nailstagram #instanails #amigasnailistasporelmundo

🇪🇸 22/52 Regreso a clase 🏫🚃 es el tema para #52weeknailchallenge de @polish_portfolio. Me fascinó la tapa del cuaderno que en algún momento usamos 😁😁 y la típica hoja blanca de líneas la reemplace por la de hojas de color y cuadriculada. Espero les guste como a mi. Un beso y mañana nos veremos con el swatch 💅🏻 de los domingos! – 🇬🇧 22/52 Back to school 🏫🚃 is the theme for # 52weeknailchallenge from @polish_portfolio. I was fascinated by the cover of the notebook that we used at some point 😁😁 and the typical white sheet of lines replaced it by the one with colored and squared sheets. I hope you like it like me. A kiss and tomorrow we will see each other with the swatch 💅🏻 on Sundays! – – #52weeknailchallenge @polish_portfolio #backtoschool #vueltaaclases #nailschool #nailart #freehandnailartist #diseñomanoalzada #nails💅 #nailobsession #backtoschoolnails #nailsschool #nailsnailsnails #nailselfie #nailfeed
