We want to see what you’re wearing on your nails!

Diana Pajeva, of Diana’s Nail Art, wears a stunning abstract design on natural nails.

“I usually wear gel polish on natural nails so I used Gelish products from Nail Harmony UK to create this look. I applied all three colours in stages, curing them in between. I didn’t need to be too accurate, as I wanted all the nails to be slightly different, but the aim for for them to create a nice pattern when put together. I got a new product recently that I wanted to test on my nails, called Color Ink from Aba Group. I added a new drops of it in the middle of the pattern so it stands out a bit more. Then with the help of a zero size brush and gold gel paint I drew the lines that tied the whole look together. Although its quite abstract nail art, I wanted it to look like liquid metal so added some dripping strokes as a final touch.

“I love a nice DIY project, so Pinterest can be a real treasure box when it comes to looking for new ideas. I saw an interesting three-colour gradient pattern that someone created on the wall and immediately thought I’d love to create something along those lines on my nails, but using an autumnal colour palette of dark green, pumpkin and burned caramel shades.

“I’m all about abstract designs at the moment. I love the pattern combined with the dark autumnal tones and subconsciously I even started wearing similar colours to match.”
