Here is my 3rd mani for the Themed Thursday(#themedthursdaynov) nail challenge on instagram. The challenge is hosted by @thenailpolishchallenge and @wondrouslypolished and the theme for the month is Autumn.

This weeks prompt is: Football


I used Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Sweet Nectar, Fresh Paint JellyFish, Sally Hansen Magnetic Kinetic Copper, Funky Fingers Gesso, Craft Smart Acrylic Paint in White and Orange, Quick Dry Top Coat, water and nail art brushes.

To get this look:

  1. Paint a base of Gesso on pinky, ring finger and thumb. Let dry completely.
  2. Open Sweet Nectar and wipe as much excess polish off the brush as you can(you want it to be as dry as posible) then wipe it along the left side of each of those fingers. Repeat until happy with the opacity,
  3. Repeat this process on the right side of your nails using JellyFish.
  4. On ring finger paint 2 coats of Kinetic Copper and when completely dry use white acrylic paint and nail art brush to paint on the lacing for the football.
  5. On the middle finger paint 2 coats of JellyFish and paint 1 coat of quick dry top coat. Let completely dry
  6. Using the white acrylic paint, nail art brush and water carefully paint the outline for the logo(If you make any mistakes you can erase it using the brush and a bit of water)
  7. Allow to dry and paint a coat of quick dry top coat. Fill in the logo outline using the orange acrylic paint. Let dry.
  8. Finish off all nails with a quick dry top coat.
