Finding nail art for nubs is tricky. I like gradients and funky French manis, which aren't great for super shorties, and glitter (which I am trying to avoid for a while because I'm sure the removal doesn't help my peelies). But I pinned this mani a while ago and thought it was so simple even I couldn't get it wrong, and it would look ok on my baby nails.
I was right! I used 2 coats of OPI Steady As She Rose as a base, and a black striper polish for the lettering. It was so easy I even managed to do it on my right hand!
I really do love this mani! I repinned it from nailene's Pinterest board, and it doesn't have a source blog or feed, so if it's yours or you know who the original pin belongs to, please let me know!
Any more MSMDers today?

This is such a cute mani too :3
Thank you hun, I'm not sure if I've done it already but I'll have a look! It means a lot so thank you :)
DeleteThis is so pretty! I don't think I could write that well with my left hand!
ReplyDeleteNeither did I but it was pretty easy!x
DeleteSo pretty! I would be really tempted to wright love on one and hate on the other, but that's just the rebel in me ;) That base color is gorgeous, did it take many coats?
ReplyDeleteI was tempted, but I didn't think I could pull off a more "hate"-ful font! The base only took two coats too so that was a bonus!x
DeleteSuper gorgeous x
ReplyDeleteLovely hun :)
ReplyDeleteI love the new layout too x
Thank you Katie :)
DeleteLove it so simple but I bet it wasn't easy to do!
ReplyDeleteWasn't as hard as it looks!

Thank you, your blog is great x
DeleteLove this Helen. Looks so cute on you!
ReplyDeleteThank you Kira!x
DeleteIt's really cute. I definitely couldn't have gotten my 'wrong' hand to match up though. Have you tried a tribal mani - they work well on any length nails (except maybe your little toenail).
ReplyDeleteNow that I'm sure I would mess up!x
DeleteThat is a great look for your super cute nubbins
ReplyDeleteAw thanks :)
DeleteThat's a sweet manicure :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Charlotte, I thought so too x
DeleteWell done on doing your other hand! Both look good. I saw this on pintrest and liked it but dont imagine I am very good with my left hand at writing!
ReplyDeleteGive it a go, I was surprised how well it came out!
DeleteOh Helly it's a great mani for nubs! my nubs are jealous - d'you mind if borrow the idea? (I'll do a link back)
