Were were asked to recreate a board game for our 2nd challenge. They asked us to create this on ten nail tips and use gel for our 3d elements and we were allowed to use non-nail pieces. I chose LIFE as my inspiration for this challenge. My non-nail items are the people game pieces that go in the car. This brought back some great memories of my brother and I playing with our cousins at my grandmother's house on weekends. I hope you enjoy this as much as I enjoyed making it.
Step-by-Step Nail Art Tutorial
1
I started with Akzentz Options color gel in Teal Drop for my background. Then used Light Elegance primary gel paint for the grass, mixing white and yellow for the different shades. I used a short fast stippling stroke to create the grass. Afterward, I started painting the board map starting with Akzentz Gel play in white so that the background wouldn't show up through the color.

I used a yellow OPI gel polish for the board map color. Then I started the small detailing by outlining for the buildings.

Using Light Elegance 3d gel in white yellow and pink, I started sculpting the parts for the car and spinning wheel.

Here's the start to the base of the wheel.

I made the playing cards by using the Light Elegance 3d gel in white to sculpt, then painted on the details with the primary gel paint.
6
I used a combination of gel polish, gel paints and colored gel to paint the colors on the spinning wheel, board signs and money.

Continuing the detailing for the board, I used Akzentz Gel Play in black and Options color Shadow Grey to detail the board map to give it some depth.

Using Akzentz Gel Play in white, I painted some clouds. I created the hot air balloon using a combination of Light Elegance gels and gel paints.

Since it was some beach scenery on the board, I decided to do the water in 3d. I mixed CND Additives in blue with some clear gel polish and painted it where I wanted the water, then I used Young Nails clear builder gel to create the moving water. You just need to put gel on the nail and while under the lamp move the end of a brush back and forth or up and own to create the effect.

I wanted a picnic blanket for my beach so I used red and white gel paint and layered the stripes. Then I removed it from the paper and cut the edges until the were even.
