It's technically art...right?

Right?
Lol. But for all those nail art fans out there, feel free to browse my collection of simple nail art. (And feel free to suggest themes or arts I should attempt later!)

Past Years

2016

Wow...a lot of nail art in 2016. This was the year I first started getting back into nail art, honestly. And Damies and I started doing monthly nail art challenges.

2017

Technically not nail art, this one is just my fave linear holo top coat over a dark red polish. Still pretty though!

2018

Present Year

2019

This one was a tragic attempt at using iridescent (unicorn skin) glitter flecks. Unfortunately the ones I bought were too stiff so they didn't curve to lay flat on my nails resulting in this monstrous result. Would like to try again with proper supplies someday.

Oh man, I really love the treble clef, and the gold and silver swirl, back in 2016.

[Kaderin Triste]

Thanks! The treble clef one is also one of my faves even though the stamping was pretty patchy on it on some of the nails. I might try a redo on it soon to see if I can stamp any better now...

[bluebird]

quality nail art! my top 3 favorites would be the 2017's purple/dark red linear holo, 2019's unicorn skin, and 2016's rose pattern. best polished (*badum-tss*) photo goes to 2017 1st pic tho. the lighting is excellent and the black contrast is perfect

[Kaderin Triste]

Ah, thanks! The rose one was actually "advanced stamping" where you make a decal with the stamp lineart stuff and clear polish and then can paint in colors in the design. I should try it again sometime as that's the only time I've actually done it.

Lol. The unicorn skins one actually looked almost okay (to me), but even after 6 or 7 layers of topcoat, the edges and corners still poked up too much and snagged on EVERYTHING. With a thinner/more flexible type I could probably improve on that design a bit.
And thanks, my photo skills are pretty basic at best. I'll never be a "famous" nail art person featured in brand's product photos or with a successful Instagram or blog or anything, but I should still work on improving the quality of pics I take anyway. That black background is actually the case for my sunglasses. Lol.

That are some very pretty nails you showed there throughout the years. Especially all those where one is of a different color or upside down. And the snowflakes. But of course I'm biased, since I adore snow and ice to begin with.

[Kaderin Triste]

I am actually pretty proud of the snowflake nails. Other than a few issues, I successfully managed to use decals for the first time with those. I have a lot more that I should do something with too from back when I was getting Julep subscription boxes a few years ago. Cat silhouettes and cacti mainly and also some random metallic triangles.

[Kaderin Triste]

I call it...double rainbow...

A simple rainbow of 2 color gradients topped with linear holo.

[mdom]

THAT IS GORGEOUS!!!
SO BEAUTIFUL!!!

[Kaderin Triste]

100% wish my nails weren't so flimsy because if 80% of them were as long as my ring and pinky nails in that pic are, I could have done a full rainbow on EACH nail! (Did it once on a couple nails to test out a few years ago, but not sure if I still have that pic...)

[Death by Mirrors]

Still looks awesome even without a full rainbow on each nail.

[Kaderin Triste]

Hmmm....haven't done much nail art the last several months, but here's my Halloween and Christmas nails.

[Kaderin Triste]

Oh man...I really need to invest in more polish toppers...

Used 2 coats of ILNP's The Alchemist on all nails and 1 coat of ILNP's Electric Carnival on the ring finger nail. And it turned my grey polish from drab to fab! *cracks self up*

Also....probably gonna maybe start showcasing loom knit stuff in here randomly as well. Because I can.

[Kaderin Triste]

Constellation nails! Debating if I want to add holo. But I always rely heavily on holo to improve nails...
