Artist of the Month | June 2017 | NailAllie

Hey there everyone! So I have decided to start something new. Each month I want to go out and find an artist I love to follow on Instagram and then feature them here on my site as the Artist of the month. When I first started blogging The Little Canvas did that for me and I thought that was so neat. That all being said I wanted to do that same thing for others because I really loved doing that with her! 

So this month is the kick off for this new featured post. This month I have chosen to have the talented Allie from NailAllie on Instagram join me. I have been following her for a long time now and I just love everything she does. Plus her IG is just so pretty! Anywhooo enough of me babbling, let me let Allie take over....

Hello everyone! My name is Allie and I am so excited to be the featured artist of the month here at 25 Sweetpeas! I've admired Sarah’s work for a long time and have even been inspired by her nail art for my own designs. When she asked me to do a guest post, I couldn't turn down her offer! For today’s blog post, I decided to recreate this gorgeous sunset that I found while browsing through Pinterest.

To create this design, I began by applying two coats of a polish called Dimple by L.A. Colors. With a makeup sponge, I then created a gradient on my nails with teal, purple, and pink polishes. Once I was finished with the gradient, it was time to create the clouds. Painting clouds is easier than you might think! I used a nail art brush and created clusters of dots that gradually turned into clouds. I finished the design by applying Butter London’s Matte Finish Topcoat.

Here is a look at the inspiration. You can see on Instagram here.

I hope that you enjoyed this design and would encourage you to give it a try! If you're a sunset lover like I am, you'll be staring at your nails all day while wearing this design! If you would like to see even more of my nail art, be sure to find me on...
