Kickass Manicures of the Month! [Feature] [Nail Art]


Hey everyone! Happy Hump Day!

With just two days left in the month of April, I've got something a little different for you today! This is a new feature post I'll be doing on a monthly basis as a way to round up my favorite manicures by other nail artists/ bloggers in each month! Just nail art that is incredibly striking or mind-blowing to me...or appeals to my personal aesthetic! You have been warned! I'll be posting this feature near the end of each month.

I was actually inspired by Alison of ALIQUID, who does an awesomely curated round-up feature called Museum-Worthy Manis. Check it out if you haven't seen it!

There were some incredible nail arts happening in the month of April, so let's all sit back and be envious of these talented ladies' mad skills! Please do follow the links back to the originating posts and give the nail artists some love!

In no particular order:


Scaled Gradient by Colors Frenzy


Everything about this! I love the placement of the single chevron, the color choices and finishes, the awesome use of the flakies. It's complex but cohesive and shows off the A England polishes so well! I want my nails to look like this everyday!






I can't get over this particular watermarble! The color choices are amaaazing (four from Essie's Flowerista collection), and the thick, gently swooping marbled stripes! Ah! This is my favorite marble I have seen all year. Not joking.



Triple Picture Polish Colorblocking by Mary Monkett


I've always loved this scarab-esque divided colorblocking design. Is there a name for it? I love that there's a nude underneath (Picture Polish- Cherish), and I think the placement of the tiny studs is genius. So graphic and impactful, and the lines are so clean!


Handpainted Spring Floral Nails by Lacquerstyle/


I don't know that anyone does handpainted florals better than Kristin/ , and to top it all off she only uses nail polish- not acrylic paints, which is even more impressive! Just look how detailed those roses are with the highlights and shadows!


Mosiac/ Stained Glass Pattern Nails by Wondrously Polished


Another very graphic manicure! Awesome color choices, and the fact that the mosaic pattern is varied on each nail is so subtle, but very effective!



That's it!



Which is your favorite here?
