Euphoric abstract

Abstract nail art is a popular choice amongst clients for its versatility and simplicity. This design can be worn throughout the year, in any colour, and on any nail length or shape. Follow Halo VIP, Hari Hatfield’s step-by-step to create the whimsical look.

To create this abstract nail art, I have used all Pure Nails products, including the new spring Euphoric collection. This particular look combines pastel rainbow gel colours with the Euphoric holographic glitters to create the ultimate spring mash-up. Although glitter is not typically associated with spring, this year, bold and bright spring nail looks seem to be trending. With the

Hari’s Top Tips!

Choose your colour palette: Pick your preferred colours and glitter shades for your design. Consider using colours that complement each other and create a cohesive look.

Use a thin brush or a striping brush to create the paint strokes.

Practice makes perfect: If you’re new to nail art, don’t worry if your first attempt isn’t perfect. Keep practicing and experimenting with different colours and techniques until you find your favourite style.

90’s and early 00’s making a comeback, the Euphoric holographic glitter range is perfect for this trend.

The paint stroke technique involves creating random brush strokes across the nail using different colours. This technique provides a unique and abstract look, and the use of different colours allows for a range of customisation options. I’ve chosen to use pastel rainbow colours to create a playful and whimsical vibe, perfect for the upcoming season. purenails.co.uk

The Euphoric holographic glitters add a touch of sparkle to the design, making it stand out even more. In this design, the glitters have been used sparingly to create an accent nail, adding a subtle touch of glamour.

Step one

After you have completed your nail prep and applied your base coat, choose a nude base shade to apply to all the nails. For this look I have chosen the Halo Elite Hard Gel in shade Cover Pink.

Step four

Using the same brush stroke technique again, fill in the last gap on the nails using the colour French White. Ensure that the lengths of the brush strokes are varying to help with the abstract nature of the nail art; we don’t want it to look too neat! Once you’re happy, cure.

Step two

Using a thin liner brush, start applying brush strokes of gel polish using the shades Blossom on the little finger, Pumpkin Spice on the ring finger, Wild Fern on the middle finger, Powder Blue on the index finger and Dreamer on the thumb. Use one colour per nail and mix up the placement of where the coloured section is on each nail. To create the brush stroke effect, paint an oblong of colour at the free edge of the nail, taking up approximately 1/3rd of the nail, and pull the paint down in thin lines of varying lengths towards the cuticle. Once you’re happy with all of your coloured brush strokes, cure.

Step three

Using a thin liner brush, apply brush strokes of glitter gel polish using the shades Toadstool on the little finger, Folklore on the ring finger, Wonderland on the middle finger, Bluebell on the index finger and Violet skies on the thumb. Start at the free edge of the nail and pull down in brush strokes towards the cuticle and again, mix up the placement of where the glitter is on each nail. Once you’re happy, cure.

Step five

Using a dotting tool, apply black dots of varying sizes and in different places over the top of the brush stroke art. Black will stand out on any colour and the dots help soften up the design as the brush strokes alone can look a little too ridged. Once you’re happy, cure.

Step six

Finally, seal in your design using Halo No Wipe Top Coat and cure!
