How To Do 3D Donut Nail Art

Hi everyone! This month's twin nail challenge (check the earlier ones I took part in at the end of this post) at Those Nails Though Facebook group was themed desserts. AND, I was paired with the super talented free hand nail artist Anita from StyleThoseNails.

Anu, as I lovingly call her, is amazing with her nails. She does some breathtaking free hand nail art (check out her instagram channel @stylethosenails). This time she wanted to try out 3D nail art and suggested we pick donuts as our nail art. I was sure she would do something amazing and sheepishly agreed to take up the challenge myself.

This is what I came up with.

And here is a look at both of our versions.

Anu used breakfast loops to create the donuts on her nails and has a full video on her channel. I, on the other hand, could not think of what came in loops and would fit my nails. I looked around, even dug into the nut bolt collection lying around the house but in vain. Finally an idea struck - I thought how about I create little loop structures with something myself. I have this little bottle of fabric glue that I decided to try out. I drew tiny loops on my nail art mat and left it to dry over night. Next day the loops actually dried out and I was able to lift them off. So finally I had something that would fit my nails and looked like loops.

I used China Glaze polish to paint them all brown (I love chocolate donuts) and then used some acrylic paint to paint over the different toppings.

For the base I actually used a saran wrap base created using a skin coloured polish from Love Bri Polishes and The Body Shop A Grape Affair.

Do you like donuts? I love them, all chocolatey!
