Blue Gingham Nail Art

Press Sample

I'm not sure what inspired this mani. Summer picnics with the typical red gingham, Smuckers Jam lids, Bath and Body Works, the musical Waitress. All I know is I wore this for a full week and I love the summer vibes of it. I got a lot of compliments on this look too! So let's get to this look!

 This was another on my to do list forever. I basically get ideas and have an ongoing list of manicures to do. It seems like I never make a dent, but I'm happy I did with this one.

I went through such a trial of which blues to use! I was going to use the typical white base, but I used an extremely pale blue, which I think adds depth to the look! Once I matted it, I was like whoa. I won't lie, I loved wearing this, and I think I sort of want to do this in a red version for my next mani!

For this manicure, I used:
  • Girly Bits Old, New, Borrowed, and Blue (base blue)
  • KBShimmer Harbor a Crush (medium blue)
  • Zoya Walker (darkest blue)
  • Matte Top Coat
  • Striping Brush
 I really went through so many blues to decide on this mani! But this was the winning combo. I started with the Girly Bits base, then did the KBShimmer stripes, and then the Zoya squares. All-in-all, this took about 35-40 minutes for all 10 fingers.

Like all my manis, I seem to wear it for a few days shiny, then a few days matte. I think the matte is more gingham-style, but I can't say I hate the shiny. I loved it both ways and adding the matte made it look like a new mani! I just love my blue phase. I have another blue mani coming up haha.

I did this manicure last Friday and just took it off today because my swatch break is officially over. I could have worn it for a longer period, but I decided it served its purpose. Love it!
