’90s Revival — Watercolor Nails (A How-To)

Paging Topanga Lawrence and Kelly Kapowski! These watercolor claws layout I created is’fab that I am not certain what to do with myself. And considering the fact that’90s fashion is indeed I can’t envision a better high-impact manicure!

Fact: I did not just mean to go full size’90s. I think it’s the colour combo that has me conjuring up thoughts of”Full House,””Family Matters” and”Saved By The Bell.”

What I was really going for was watercolor. I’m super-obsessed using watercolor paintings and wanted to create a similar effect on my fingernails. I used a method I haven’t seen done before in an attempt to get that fluid-y, melty watercolor impact and was pleased with the results.
