Nails Like That

Hi, I'm Nicole, an architecture student who likes to attempt nail art. All images are my own unless stated.

Last week I saw All Time Low perform in Bristol and did some artwork inspired by their new album cover beforehand. I haven’t made a lot of time for nail art for a little while now as I’ve been caught up with life, but when you’re going to see one of your favourite bands it makes you want to get back into it; hopefully I’ll make some time in the future for some more!

Last week I saw @bastilleuk perform live in Cardiff; I didn’t get time to do my nails before the show but decided to do some afterwards inspired by some of the tour merch. They were so good, I had power stuck in my head for the next couple of days!

I saw Twenty One Pilots perform last night in Bristol and they were amazing!!!! Here are my nails inspired by the Blurryface album cover, and my other hand with a quote from Goner; I messed up the O and N but thought that in a weird way it adds to it! I loved it when they sang Car Radio; here’s also a photo of Tyler I took which I thought looked quite cool!

These are my brushstrokey gradient nails inspired a bit by Van Gogh’s brushstrokes, although they turned out nothing like them. I apologise for the tip wear, I took this photo a day or two after so I no longer had blue cuticles! Anyway, if you wanna find out what colours and stuff I used go here!

I’m going to Prague tomorrow and so decided to do some nails inspired by the Czech Art Nouveau artist Alfonse Mucha and his work Four Seasons. I know my nails are a little simplified, but I tried my best so hey ho. I’m finding the pissed off woman on my middle finger actually quite amusing! If you want to you can read more about them on my blog; I hope you like them very Mucha (not sorry)!
