Accent Nails

I rarely painted my nails a year ago. It wasn't until I stumbled onto water marbling that I got interested in nail art. It is a fun way to both express yourself and to get creative in a small way. With accent nails it isn't over powering and I can focus most of the detail work on my non-dominant hand. Usually, I either do just my ring finger or I sometimes also do both thumbs. If I was more interest I will add a second color for a skittle look.

Last Wednesday I tried Julep's Karen which is a frosted peach. I hand painted a floral motif on my ring finger and both thumbs.

Tonight I decided to try Juleps Kaylen, a matte orange. I used a tattoo but instead of just doing the nail I also placed it on my finger. I had to add to the nail as some of it didn't transfer and added a black stud. I topped this with China Glaze Matte Magic. This gave the details a cohesive matte finish. I think this look is a little more daring.
