Salt Nail Art

Hey girls!

I have something super exiting to share with you!

Nail art using salt!

Check it outttt!!


As you know, caviar nails are all the rage now.

I really wanted to try rocking caviar nails but I'm too lazy to pop by the art store to get some micro beads. Heh.

So... I used the next best thing.


Salt!

Not knowing how it would turn out, I just went with it!


I started with a layer of polish on my ring finger and I accidentally smudged it.

Well, thank gawd the salt was gonna cover the yucky smudge!

I then added a ticker layer of the same polish and sprinkled salt over the wet polish.


If you're trying it out yourself, you could leave the salt without applying top coat for unique party nails.

After applying top coat, the salt turns kinda transparent.


Lol it looks cool yet strangely eerie at the same time.

I think having a wine red base makes this the perfect Halloween nails!

What do you think? 




I'll probably use a different fun colour or a different finishing next time.

If anyone tries it, I'd love to see pictures of your nails! I don't think I've seen any nail art with salt before. =D

* Update:

Thank you so much for the really nice and encouraging responses!

However, I really didn't like how the wine red looked with the salt so I changed them up during the weekend!


You can see more here!

Again, thanks!! Love ya!!
