NTNA Top 3: Manus x Machina (Sponsored by CND), Part Five
The theme for the fifth part of our challenge was toile. I broke the color pattern of my final set with this one and used white, cream and navy blue as main colors. I still continued with the theme by separating the colors, light shades on the right hand and darker shades on the left hand. I wanted the set to have a toile fabric-like feel to it and used the classical toile print colors and matte finish on the nails.
I wanted to give the set dimension and made see through 3D flowers on the nails, as if the fabric pattern was overflowing.
I used machine made fabrics on the nails. Everything else is handmade with hard gel and gel paints.
Step-by-Step Nail Art Tutorial
1
I bought fabric to cover the nails with. First I painted the base light brown using gel paint. I added clear builder gel and placed the fabric on top of it. I cured the nail and build more layers using clear builder gel. Then I filed the form of the nail, added a top coat and painted the floral toile pattern. I added a matte top coat to give the nail a fabric-like finish.

I drew flower patterns on nail form papers and build the flowers using clear builder gel. Then I attached the flowers and the leaves on the nail and painted the details leaving the flowers transparent. I added a matte top coat on the nail.
