NTNA Challenge #3- ENTITY Haute Couture

For this piece, I turned to Pinterest for inspiration. I picked out a few pieces that caught my eye.  

Using all kinds of jewelry and beads, I intend to create a Bohemian-esque embellished set.  

FINGER ONE: I decided to go dark with this set for reflections of fall. Using a dark blue as base, I apply two coats for it to become completely opaque. Then I carefully glued on the chained jewels from an earring, and apply beads and studs. Then I Use chained bullion beads to outline the nail and applied a swaroski crystal to complete the look.  

FINGER TWO: Using 4 different gel polishes I created a marbled look as background. The I used an opal foil to add dimensions. Using these studs I took off a ring, I lined them up in the centre of the nail. Then I applied a red stone in the centre. The diamond shape charms I applied next are from an earring. I attached them to a hollow square stud. Finish off the nail with a tear drop hollow stud and top coat to seal off.  

FINGER THREE: Apply links one by one to create a tribal print. Cut the piece extended beyond nail. Using coloured beads in this finger to enhance the theme. Finish off with a gem on the tip if finger.  

FINGER FOUR: I used the same marbling technique found in finger two. Apply a golden ring at the base of the nail and secure red bead. Proceed to applying Rose gold swarovski crystals around the red bead and apply spikes. Finish the nail off with a final red bead and spike.  

FINAL NAIL: I combined components from two different earrings and made my hanging charm for this finger. Secure charm to base of finger and apply red tear drop rhinestone on top. Attach golden links to the side of the charm and apply baroque charm on top of the red rhinstone. Add beads to the side of the nail. Complete this look by wrapping the bullion chains on the tip of the nail. Sealed off with top coat.  

ET VOILA!
