Hi! Today I have some Yankees nail art that I did last week for a game I went to. Personally, I am a huge baseball fan and my favorite team happens to be the Yankees. However, I don't want to start some baseball controversy here though. And if you hate baseball or have no idea who the Yankees are, I don't mind but I hope you enjoy the nail art! :)
I apologize for the lack of posting. I'm going to try to have a consistent posting schedule eventually after my schedule calms down.
Anyways, on to the nail art. I decided to paint the famous Yankees pinstripes (blue and white) on four of my nails leaving the ring finger as an accent nail. On my left hand the accent finger was the Yankees logo. On my right hand I tried to paint a baseball.
I started out with a base of China Glaze Snow (3 coats), featured in my last post.
China Glaze Bermuda Breakaway was used for the pinstripes. I applied the stripes using a nail art brush bought from Ebay.

I used a nail art pen for the Yankees logo (N and Y put together). On top of the logo, I applied China Glaze Nova (a hexagonal holographic glitter) with a nail art brush to give it some extra sparkle.
I also did a very thin french tip on this accent nail with China Glaze Bermuda Breakaway.
All of these photos were taken inside with artificial lighting and no flash.

This is my right hand which is less neat than my left hand. I wanted to show the different accent nail though. As you can tell, instead of the NY logo I put a baseball print on it.
I used a red nail art pen to create the stitching on the baseball on top of the base. Then to finish it off, I used Wet 'n' Wild Black Creme for a thin french tip.

I hope you enjoyed my baseball nail art! What's your favorite sport to watch(or team)? Thanks for stopping by!
On To The Next Polish,

This looks really good. I love the baseball nail and your stripes look great!
ReplyDelete@imfeelingnail-venturous Thanks a lot! I really liked the baseball nail too.
ReplyDeleteKatie, I love how you expressed your team loyalty through nail art! This looks great, and it's so cute how one of the accent nails is a baseball. Great job! :D

Oh how fun! I love the pinstripes and the logo especially!
ReplyDelete@SwatchAndLearn-Mary Thanks! It's actually not the first time I've done nail art for a baseball game. :)
ReplyDelete@KarenD I thought the logo came out great. Thanks!
Cute idea, but the paint lines are a little sloppy. Try a pinstriping brush and use Scotch tape as a guide. It will take longer, but the lines will be very clean and crisp. The same small brush would work better for your baseball nail too, to give you a good stitch on the white. I like the blue tip accents.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the suggestions! Looking back and when I wore this I did notice how sloppy my lines were. Now I use a striper brush for my stripes and back then I did not. Tape would work great though I'm not sure I have the patience to do every stripe with tape.
