For the sneakerheads. 👟✨
Day 3 and I’m already in my brand-inspo era. These 3D Nike nails combine two things I genuinely love, nail art and sneaker culture. We’ve got the swoosh, the wordmark, and enough texture to make any sneaker fan do a double take.
Honestly? These took a minute. But watching them come together was so satisfying I almost forgot how long it took. Almost.
About This Look
Brand-inspired nail art is one of my favorite genres to work in because it pushes your freehand accuracy in a real way. Logos have specific proportions and shapes, you can’t fudge a swoosh and have it still read as Nike. That pressure makes you better.
For the 3D element on these, I created a blank shape out of the 3D Gel and then painted the details on top. The nude base underneath adds a streetwear edge that balances out the branded elements without competing with them.
If you’re learning freehand nail art and want a good challenge: start with logos. Clean lines, recognizable shapes, and instant feedback if something’s off. Great practice.
