Top 5 Nail Art of 2016 + New Ones to Try

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! Now that Christmas is over, the new year is approaching quickly! I wanted to do a nail post today, so I decided to share my top five designs that went on the blog this year, along with five more I want to try in 2017! Keep reading below.


Cherry Blossom Nails






There may be snow falling and temperatures dropping below 0 lately, but I am still dreaming about all of the pretty things - including cherry blossoms. 

I painted this cherry blossom nail art design last week and thought it would be perfect to share on the blog! Pin this design if you like it, and leave a comment down below if you try it out!

POLISHES USED:

White On // Sally Hansen
Black Nail Art Striper // KISS
Cotton Candy // Orly

Painted Feathers








I tried painting feathers on my nails - and I think they actually turned out okay. I used a thin black nail striper brush to achieve the feathery strokes, and I love how they look against the pink/blue pastel ombré background!

Polishes Used:

"Pretty Pink Perseveres" by OPI
"Babe Blue" by Sally Hansen 
"Black" Nail Art Striper by KISS

Glittery Green Apples






I love trying new nail designs, so this time I opted for some fruit nail art! I painted a couple of green apples (halves and wholes) on my nails along with a top coat of glitter!

Polishes Used:

Grass Green // Sally Hansen
Chillato // Essie
Glitter // Sally Hansen
Black Nail Art Striper // KISS

Hello Kitty French Tips






Call me weird, but I have a slight obsession with Hello Kitty! 

I decided to add some extra cuteness to my white french tips by painting little black eyes, a yellow nose, and adding a pink fimo bow. This is the purrrfect mani for anyone in love with adorable Japanese culture!

Dream Catcher







I got inspired by some images on Pinterest to do an ombré dream catcher design on my nails! It's a little bit different, but still very cute. I used two shades of blue and two shades of pink (light and dark) and a makeup sponge to achieve the ombré effect. I then painted on the dream catchers with a thin nail striper brush afterwards on the fourth finger (accent nail). Seal with a top coat, and you are good to go!

Strawberry Lemonade






These nails are super fun and summery with a pink to yellow ombré and some strawberry and lemon sliced fimo pieces for decoration. Show me your summer nails on twitter by tweeting me @ makstyleblog #currentclaws.

Eye Love Pink






This design was a girly adaption on the "evil eye" trend I have been seeing everywhere! I also incorporated one set of eyelashes, too. I did the base of the nails pink and the nail art eyes are black, white and baby blue! I used pink because it's my favourite colour, obviously. 

Polishes Used:

Sally Hansen // Blue Away
