Chalkboard Manicure Glam Inspo

Chalkboard Manicure Glam Inspo

Beauty blogger Claire tests a blackboard nail art set and gives her verdict on this chalk-effect manicure craze. Plus, she creates a cool Iggy Azalea inspired manicure!
Hey gorgeous girls,
Today I'm having a play with some of the awesome swag I've been sent (luckiest girl alive or what?!).
The vibe: Yep, it has occurred to me that you TGs possibly don't associate blackboards with school - you all have interactive whiteboards. So bear with me - I guess this look is kinda old-school cute.
The product: ulta3's blackboard nail art set ($12, find it in Aussie pharmacies). You get a black nail polish that dries matte, plus a bunch of sweet pastels that paint on with a thin nail art brush. You also get a metal tool for your art.

The verdict
: The box says to do two coats of black but it's so thick and gloopy I reckon one coat is okay. It really does dry to a chalkboard-y finish. Cool!
It takes a bit of time to get used to the long, skinny brush in each pastel bottle. Take care not to get too much polish on your brush. The brushes work really well for straight lines so letters are a great choice but you can draw whatever you want. I suggest letters like F-A-N-C-Y. Can you tell I've been listening to lots of Iggy Azalea? Make sure you listen to the radio version only, TGs.

Iggy Azalea nail art: chalk board manicure ideas!
I'm testing the product on my workie, Monique. Cute, right?
Would you try the blackboard look? You can DIY it with black nail polish, pastels and a nail art brush. Have fun!
XOXO Claire
