So my usual bag is this black Roxy bag that's kind of blah so that definitely didn't inspire me LOL. So I instead chose this bag from Forever 21 that I've had for a while:
I don't use it everyday, but I do use it often. So obviously I had to do some quilted nails! I was actually pretty excited because I've never done that nail art technique. It looks easy, but I had a hard time with it. My lines kept coming out all crooked and unevenly spaces. Let's just say that the picture below is of my third attempt.
I used American Apparel Hassid, which has the most amazing formula. I got full coverage with just one coat but had to apply a second to be able to 'quilt' it. I also used China Glaze De-Light for the glitter gradient. The golden hexes are from the dollar store I think, I don't even remember anymore. This is definitely not my best work so I'll have to give this technique another go soon. I hope you guys liked it though! Make sure to check out what the rest of the girls did down below!
