Matzah Nail for Passover!

Happy Passover!

Happy Passover to those of you who celebrate it! This weekend, I got a gentle reminder from my friends that I should do a manicure for the occasion and matzah nails was strongly suggested. I got the hint and knew exactly who to turn to for inspiration. Last year 10 Blank Canvases created her matzah nails for Passover and I knew that I wanted to try and recreate the look. Luckily, she created an easy matzah nails tutorial which I followed (for the most part)...


I started out with a base of Zoya Jacqueline which was the best match color wise for matzah in my collection. The rest was done using acrylic paint. I used black, tan and a mix of the two. I wish I had a better brown to work with, but my acrylic color palate is limited at the moment...


I didn't want shiny matzah, so I did top them off with Essie Matte About You...


Yummy! The tips look a bit charred, but considering this was my first time making matzah I'm pretty happy with how they turned out...





My light box is now full of matzah crumbs, but it is a small price to pay for working with props...

Thanks for looking!
Anutka :)
