Tweed Inspired Nail Art Tutorial with Sally Hansen Fuzzy Coat #IHeartMyNailArt
When it comes to doing nail art, my motto is to keep it attainable, not aspirational. I love to look at intricate, hand-painted designs as much as the next nail fanatic, but I’ll never attempt them myself because I just don’t have the steady hand or artistic skills for it.
Every look I create is something I feel a decent polisher, like myself, can DIY. That’s why I was excited to participate in the Sally Hansen #IHeartMyNailArt campaign featuring the Sally Hansen Fuzzy Coat nail polishes.
As you know, I’ve showed you ways to wear the Fuzzy Coat polishes previously but, for this campaign, I wanted to reach outside my comfort zone and try something new. A tweed coat from the Chanel Fall 2013 Haute Couture collection became my inspiration and I’m really happy with how the look turned out. Keep reading to see how I did it.

NEW Sally Hansen Sugar Coat Shades – Swatches & Review
I’m not gonna lie, when the first set of Sally Hansen Sugar Coat textured nail polishes released, I wasn’t that jazzed. The color palette was very basic; white, black, red, yellow, pink, etc. With the exception of a green (Sour Apple) and blue (Razzle-berry), they didn’t speak to me.
However, Sally Hansen has released a second set of Sugar Coat shades that include some more “me” colors, including some glitter textures.
New Sally Hansen Sugar Coat
If you know me at all, you know that blue, purple and teal are so in my wheelhouse and that the sparkly texture polishes are my jam, so I had a lot of fun playing with these new colors. In fact, I came up with a layering combination so gorgeous that I dare even the texture haters to dismiss it.

Three Ways To Wear Sally Hansen “Fuzzy Coat” Textured Nail Polish
While textured nail polish is, without a doubt, the predominant trend for 2013, it’s also extremely polarizing. There is a hard line in the sand when it comes to the love/hate relationship we have with the look. And though sand texture has made the biggest impact, the fuzzy/feathered look isn’t far behind. Enter Sally Hansen Fuzzy Coat.

In the bottle, the bar glitter looks like a whirlwind of color and on the nail like tiny feathers or fibers. But, what is the best way to wear them? Here are my three favorite ways to incorporate the Fuzzy Coats into your nail style.

PinspiratioNAIL – Sea Glass Watercolor Nail Art with Sally Hansen
Since I work from home, daytime TV is my background noise and one of my can’t miss morning shows is the Today Show “Drunk Hour” (aka KLG & Hoda). I’m not gonna lie, Kathie Lee bugs the crap out of me some days and, when I first started watching, I thought for sure that Hoda would slap her someday. They’ve grown on me over the years and now I just roll my eyes at Kathie Lee like she’s a batty aunt.
Anyway, the point is, every day is something different on the show; Wine-sday (Wednesday), Thirsty Thursday, etc. and today happens to be Try-day Friday, when they try something new. This morning it was chocolate babka, yum!! It’s in honor of that concept that this PinspiratioNAIL was born.
Sea Glass Watercolor Nail Art
If you recall, PinspiratioNAIL is my riff on a look I find on Pinterest. Today I wanted to attempt a new-to-me technique, Watercolor Nail Art (or Marble Nails). The name is open to interpretation. Anyway, I’ve seen a few different tutorials on how to create the watercolor look but, given my amateur skills, I wanted the simplest possible method. For my sake and yours. Check it out!
