Day 84 - Dior - Nailed Daily

Welcome to Nailed Daily the blog where it all started! Back in 2011 I had this crazy idea of starting this nail art blog where I would complete 365 nail designs in one year. On Nov 30th 2012 I completed the challenge, it was a huge struggle to commit to but I am glad I did it because it pushed me so much further with my nail art. Shortly after completing my challenge I quit blogging I swore I would never blog again, but here I am back at it 5 years later with much more knowledge, way better photography skills and exciting new nail adventures to talk about. I hope to use this blog to inspire other professional nail techs, I want to share my experiences as an educator, nail competitor and salon owner. I will also share new nail designs and tutorials. I am excited for this new chapter of my blog, it wont be daily but I promise it will be good stuff! I hope you enjoy the content!

These nails are inspired by a Christian Dior dress from the spring 2012 collection. while browsing some fashion websites I came across the dress and thought it was super cute, and it would be cute on nails.

I have attached a couple pictures of the dress below, where you can see the dress with a stripe of odd shaped boxes in red, silver and golds. I wanted to mimic this design on the nails, I started off by painting in the colored boxes on top of the black nail polish, I decided not to keep it symmetrical so I painted the stripe at different angles and sides of the nails. After all the boxes were complete, I went in with a black striping paint and cleaned up the lines
