Hello everyone! Today on the blog we will be creating a nail design for the Justin Timberlake concert. I am a big Justin fan I have loved him since he was in Nsync and still continue to love him/ his music since he went solo. I created this design based on his albums and thought it would be great to have on my nails for the concert. I have seen him two times already in concert and was set to see him again October 25 for the third time. Unfortunately he got sick a few days before the concert and had to postpone the show until February 20. 😩 I am still going to go of course, I got really great seats on the floor this is the closest that I have been, so I am still excited but a little sad that he had to postpone because he is sick. 😕 Anyways I already did my nails and figured I would still share the design now.
Here are the polishes and nail art tools used to create this JT design:
Top and Base coat- CND Stickey Base Coat and CND Super Shiney Top Coat. Polishes- Zoya- Twinkling- Jen, Holo Taco- Gift Receipt- Metallic Foil Collection, Sally Hansen- Hard as Nails- Hard to get, Sally Hansen- Hard as Nails- Black Heart, Finger paints- Tiffany Imposter, Sinful Colors- HD Nails, Orly- Cesium The Day- Melting Point, and Kiss nail art striper- Silver.
Acrylic- Black, white, green, and brown.
Nail art tools- medium dotting tool, thin stripping and liner brush.
Apply and base coat, then let that dry.Polishes-
Thumb- shimmery blue
Index- silver
Middle- black cream
Ring- light blue
Pinky- yellow
Let that dry.
For this JT design we will be basing it off of his albums; Justified, FutureSex/ LoveSounds, 20/20 Experience (their was 2 albums), Man Of The Woods, Everything I Thought It Was.
1st Album Justified: We will first start off with first album Justified, I made a heart with his initials on a blue background, this is what the CD looks like kind of, minus the heart, blue background and sliver for the letters.
For the design first take a striper brush with white paint on it, to make an outline. First make a long line on the middle of the nail for the JT then make an up case J and a lower case t. Then make a heart outline around JT.
Once you have the outline, then take a sliver stripper nail polish and go over that white outline.
2nd Album FutureSex/ LoveSounds:For this design I based this design off the disco ball that Justin is kicking on the album cover.
For the disco ball this is the most simple nail. All you need to do is take a striper brush with black paint on it and make a checker board like pattern, two lines going vertical and three going horizontal.
3rd and 4th Album 20/20 Experience:
For this design this is based on his sound suite and tie and then I just pained 20/20 on the side for the album name.
For the suite take your striper brush with black paint on it and make a V shape near the tip of then nail, then with black polish fill in the area.
For the buttons take a medium size dotting tool and make three dots down the middle of the nail.
Lastly the bow tie, on the last dot that you made near the cuticle make two triangle like shapes on both sides and fill that in.
An optional part is the 20/ 20 on the left side of the nail, this is hard to do but I just wanted to challenge myself, it is not perfect and that is ok. For the 20/20 take a striper brush with white paint on it and paint 20/ and under that 20.
5th Album Man of the Woods:
This one I was literal with I just made a small forest/ woods with three pine trees for man of the woods.
This design we will just create three pine trees a full one and two half trees on the side. Take a small liner brush with green paint on it and make three arrow like shapes on top of each other. then repeat this step on the sides off the nails but only half a tree. Then for the tree stump take your liner brush with brown paint on it, and just make a thick line under your trees.
For the grass make a green French tip.
6th Album Everything I Thought It Was:
Justin last album to date Everything I Thought It Was, this one I based off of the inside of the CD and just the first letter of each part of the name.
For the last nail take a thin stripper brush and make the letters EITIW going side ways on the nail. This was another hard one to paint, it also didn't help that I did this on the smallest nail.
Once your nails are concert ready apply a top coat to seal in your nails and to help them last.
Here is the practice version
Due to the concert being postpone until February 😕 I have decided that I am going to recreate this design and change up a few things and see if I can improve on this design.
Hope all of enjoyed this Justin Timberlake design, if you are a big fan of him just like I am!
See you next time for more nail fun!
