When I saw the gorgeous imagery in the Alice Through the Looking Glass movie I knew I just had to do nails inspired by the film. The colors are so vivid and brilliant and I can’t pass up a good bookish (albeit film interpreted) nail opportunity.
I did this manicure using my FAVORITE nail stamping technique. I originally shared this as a part of a live Facebook event. It was fun and I went in without any ideas and people hung out and helped me pick and decide what exactly to do!
But here is the edited video with just what you need to replicate these Alice Through the Looking Glass Nails yourself.
