When I was asked to create some nail art designs based on Cybercandy’s range of sweets, drinks and treats I was excited to take on the challenge! Although nail inspiration can be found anywhere, I have created and tried out a lot of designs in the past, none of which have really been inspired by food, so the idea of filling an entire wheel was quite daunting at first.
After having a little browse of the Cybercandy website, I was luckily able to find lots of inspiration to paint what turned out to be a wheel of quite varied colours, textures and patterns. To complete the wheel I used a mixture of tools and techniques – and around 30 different nail polishes! My favourite design is probably the first Aether Cola steampunk design, due to the mixed textures and matte finish, or the detailed Cybercandy rocket. Although the project took a lot of time I’m glad I accepted the challenge, and I hope it will inspire others to create some bold and unusual art of their own.
When you think of Camden, what’s the first thing that springs to mind? The bustling Camden Lock markets with more than 150,000 visitors a week? The colour, music, comedy, street performers, food, shops or the canal?
