Now...I don't like hockey. I actually can't stand hockey. Living in the Detroit area, though, I hear about hockey ALL THE TIME. Also, my little sister in Tennessee is now a Bruins fan and, like any Bostonian (though she isn't one), she is getting pretty serious about her hockey.
Well, while talking to her on the phone today and looking for a nail art idea. She suggested hockey nails. Rather, she said, "Do Bruins nails." I didn't have any better ideas, so I went with it.
The only colors I used were Butter London The Full Monty, Sally Hansen Black Out, and NYC French White Tip. Now, tool-wise, I used several nail art brushes, toothpicks, dotting tools, etc. It took quite a while, but I kinda like it.
This isn't something I would usually do because, as I said, I hate hockey. Little sis wanted it, though, so I was perfectly fine with doing it. It looks...hockey-chic. ;)
Now, I am by no means a football fan. Don't think I ever will be. My sister-in-law and her husband, on the other hand, love it. Specifically, Huskers football. They both live in Nebraska and are here for a visit for the next week. I thought I would do a Nebraska Cornhuskers inspired manicure in their honor.
I used Wet n Wild I Red a Good Book and NYC French White Tip for my base colors. The glitter gradient is done with loose white glitter. I used a nail art brush and Art Club White to paint on the Huskers logo. I love the way this turned out!
