Like the past few years, I'm sharing some of my favorite art from the past year. I already shared all my Pusheen art so I'm excluding those from this post. It's so hard to narrow down art from each month. I love taking my time to look back at what I've done over the year. January seems so long ago!

| My Favorite Nail Arts of 2018! |
Like always, I'll be going in chronological order, taking a walk through the months. I realize that my biggest art months always seem to be October and December for the respective holidays. Everything is linked so you can get details!
January 2018
Welcome to 2018 Art: I love this rendition on it. Instead of black and gold, I went with multichrome!

Cozy Cabin Hunter Stamping: I loved this new technique of stamping that I tried. As I stamped, I used a dotting tool to remove parts I didn't want and that's how I got the middle nails the way they are!

Blue Stamping with Stell Chroma Reflections: I realize this is very simple stamping but sometimes the simple looks are so striking and so gorgeous!

The Simpsons Nail Art: I did this manicure to commemorate the fact that The Simpsons became the longest running scripted show this year! I've done a few manicures with these characters and I love them each time.

ReplyDeleteI can't pick a favourite! I first thought it would be the 2018, and then I saw the next one, and the next one, and so on. I think for sheer ingenuity, it would have to be the flakie explosion.

ReplyDeleteYour nail art skills always blow me away - especially the freehand work!
ReplyDeleteThose are some great picks for sure!!! I love the Simpson and the Starbucks manis the most!!! So cute and unique!
