Happy Sunday everyone! I hope you've all had a great weekend. Today I am sharing this bruised nail art design with you. Lately I've been learning about SFX and watching loads of videos about it on YouTube. I took the idea of the bruising technique that is very popular in SFX and made it into nail art. I think this looks pretty cool!
The base color I used for this design is Samoan Sand by OPI. It's seriously the perfect nude for my skin. I'm going to be so sad when I run out because it's now discontinued. I also used Butter London's Matte Finish top coat. All of the bruising colors were mixed using Apple Barrel acrylic paint. I used dark green, purple, blue, red, bright green, yellow, and black. I applied it with a sponge that I ripped up so it had an awesome textured effect. You can see how I did that in my video tutorial below! Once I finished applying all of the colors I added another layer of the matte top coat because, obviously, bruises aren't shiny.
If you want to see how I created this design then feel free to watch my video tutorial below!
