WHAT I’M WEARING: Elizabeth Jones, Nail Art by Elizabeth
By Sophie Nutt | 29 September 2019 | Feature, Tech Talk
We want to see what you’re wearing on your nails!
Elizabeth Jones, of Nail Art by Elizabeth, wears a nail look inspired by the recent release of IT: Chapter 2 and the upcoming Halloween holiday.
“My inspiration came from the recent release of IT: Chapter 2, I absolutely love these movies and I really wanted to create a playful yet freaky Pennywise design in preparation for Halloween. Each individual nail design is inspired by different parts of the movie – if you have seen it then you will be able to spot each reference.
“I created these nails using my most favourite system, NSI Balance Body Builder Gel. I sculpted the nails and then applied my go-to gel polish, which is the one and only Artistic Colour Gloss in shades Swag, Attraction and Bride. I then used Crystal Nails Art Gel and One Move Paints partnered with the Crystal Nails Art Design Brush to paint the balloons, Pennywise, the dripping blood and the writing. To create the pom-poms I used the NSI Balance Body Builder Gel and created three little balls, then I applied as much of Naio Nails Flocking Powder in the shade Red as I could before applying a small amount of acrylic to adhere them to my thumb. I finished the nails off by applying Halo Gel Polish Matte Top Coat and then I coloured in the two balloons in Artistic Colour Gloss Top Coat to give them a shine.
“I have really enjoyed creating this design. I originally drew the design on my phone and developed it from there. I’m a bit of a horror geek so when this time of year comes around I enjoy designing Halloween nails so much!”
