Today is my Birthday! *waves to all the fellow Virgos out there* To celebrate in true SoNailicious fashion, I’ve created this unusual Birthday nail design. It’s different because:
a) Negative Space manicure is not your typical Birthday Nails.
b) It’s a versatile 4-in-1 nail design!
The ‘main’ nail design (look 1) is inspired by one of the designs that I taught at the SoNailicious Beauty Expo masterclass. It’s such a pretty and at the same time, edgy nail design that I couldn’t resist trying it myself. Of course, I conducted a few nail art experiments to see what other nail designs it could become. As I demonstrate in my masterclasses, this is an example of how easily you can ‘upgrade’ a simple manicure into a full-on editorial like nail design.
So let’s see the transformations…
Look 1. Negative Space Birthday Nails with Shattered Glass details
Look 2. Boho Birthday Nails with Cuticle Art
Look 3. Mixed Media Birthday Nails
Look 4. Mixed Media with Metallic Bands
…or even better, with cuticle art!
Products Used:
- Straight line nail art stencils
- OPI In Pursuit of Purple, another great light purple – Essie Go Ginza
- shattered glass nail foil
- silver & black extra-wide striping tape
- Essie Good To Go top coat
Now over to you!
How do you like this ‘Transformer’ Birthday nail design? Which look is your favourite of the four?
– Maria, xx
P.S. If you try this Birthday nail design (not necessary for your Birthday), I’d love to see you work – Tweet or Instagram me a photo with the tag #sonailicious.
Come back tomorrow for a very special surprise ;)

Great looks Maria! All of them look great but I think the first one is my fave for the simplicity. And once again, happy birthday!
