Nautical Sailboat and Anchor Nails

Hello there guys!! I hope you've made it well through the week. Back to all the craziness of life is hectic as you'd imagine. I've been making time for nail art as I had none last year and since I have more free periods this year it seems to be helping (for now at least, this is not going to last).
I have a cute design today, I love nautical designs and I haven't done anything like this before. It's no ground-breaking design but I like the simplicity and the print style.

So we have anchors and sailboats, I think they're uniform enough. I was proud of the freehnad straight line on my thumb but everyone thought I was making some kind of Pepsi reference. Which is actually a fair point as my friend actually had a picture of Pepsi and it was worryingly similar. I know the design got a bit smudged but I still like it as it's cute and I love that colour scheme (that's all it takes for me to like a design).

I freehanded the anchors and boats, I had to touch them up a lot, getting the black outline was much harder than it looked. It was so uneven. Touching up alone took an age. I know you probably didn't notice but yes my pinky chipped before taking pictures and I moved on to a new design so we all have to deal with a chip :/ Like it's small enough that it doesn't bother me haha.

Nautical Print Nails

Hello there guys!! I was feeling like some nautical nails and so I did some nautical nails. Nautical never disappoint me, they're like textbook cute with a great colour combo and really cute patterns. I really like this one today!! :)

So I was going for different nautical "prints" with hearts, anchors, stars and stripes. I really like that heart print, ever since my Reese and Cyrus Animal Crossing design I have been <3ing heart print, it's so simple but SO CUTE!! I always like anchors so that worked well for me. The duff nail is the star and stripe one but I think it adds to the design; go double accents ya'hear!!
Also Last Friday Night is such a super pretty polish, I totally forgot. It's the perfect subtle, delicate (that blue shimmer though) glitter.

For all the prints I used my toothpicks carefully and the stripes were with the brush of the polish, that's why they a little bit messy (but such are stripes).
