Fuzzy Tennis Ball | Nail Art Tutorial

I've been having a lot of fun playing with textures and flocking powder over the past year. While creating a sweater nail look for the holidays, an idea lodged itself in my brain. This fuzzy texture would be perfect for a funky set of tennis ball-inspired nails. The only problem? Where was I going to find neon yellow flocking powder?

Cashmere Snowflakes | Nail Art Tutorial

Subtle has never really been my default setting when it comes to nail art. I love a gaudy, sparkly ugly sweater-inspired set, but sometimes you just need a little J.Lo-in-a-beige-sweater kind of holiday nail art moment. These matte neutral snowflakes prove that winter nail art can feel festive, cozy, and seasonal without relying on traditional holiday colors.
