Hello, readers! It’s Day 3 in this month’s Digit-al Dozen art week. The theme is Love & Heartbreak and I’ve shown you two “love” themed manis so far and changed it up today with one that is more representative of “heartbreak.”
I loved the idea of using crackle nail polish to do a broken heart and thought that some sugar spun nails paired with it would make a cool look. I think it’s kind of abstract, and like that my heart didn’t turn out perfect.
I sugar spun light gray, charcoal gray, and black over a dusty teal color and really like how it turned out! Are you seeing a texture theme of this week as well? I didn’t top coat this because I wanted the texture to be a big part of the mani.

Gorgeous! I love all the nontraditional V-Day art you DD girls are coming up with!
OK, I love this idea–and you have the best spun-sugar I've ever seen! Usually it's thicker, gloppy 'strings' that just look weird and like they took forever to dry. I love your thinner lines, and it especially looks great with the colours you chose. 😀
LOVE!!
This is great – your sugar spun looks FLAWLESS. Like serious cotton candy!
I LOVE how this looks! The combination of the colors, the accent nail with the heart, and the sugar spun texture are perfect together. Love <3
Your sugar spinning is impressive! Great mani for "broken hearts"!

Perfect sugar spun mani!
Oh, wow, I love this, Jacki! Awesome, awesome use of textures. Your spun sugar is so smooth and fine, and the broken heart is such a creative touch. I'll bet this really did look amazing in person!
