Today, I have a hamster nail art design to share with you! Hamster is one of my favourite animals on planet, and my very first pet that I bought when I was 14, after saving up all my housework money for months 🙂
I just love when they stuff their cheek pockets with their favourite foods, such as sunflower seeds, peanuts and vegetables!
Usually, I use acrylic paint for hand painting, but today I went all gel polishes! How was it? Well…
The great thing about using gel polish is that I can spend as much time as I want perfecting the design, because the design won’t set until I cure it with the lamp!
The not so great thing about using gel polishes was that the design gets thicker and thicker as I apply more colours on top of each other. Acrylic paint allows me to apply layers and layers of paint and the design doesn’t get thick.
I’ve used some mermaid confetti, sandwiched in between gel polishes so that they sparkle like bokeh lights in the background.
Here is the video of how I created this Hamster nail art – I hope you enjoy!

Omg!!! This is one of the cutest designs EVERR!! You have really inspired me to get into free hand lately, and I have been starting with acrylic paint since gels are so expensive. Although I’m considering getting one of those products that turns nail polish into gel polish. Small video request as well, I would love to see a video on the gel you use on your natural nails / a nail care routine video! Your natural nails are just so pretty 😍😍 Keep up the amazing work Minnie!!
Aww thank you SO much Rishi!!😻💖 I’m super happy to hear that you’re into free hand painting too!🙌😸 I’ve used gel polishes as an experiment for this design, but I think acrylic paint is still the best to work with👍💗 And yes, gel polishes ARE expensive😭
Thank you SOOO much for your super sweet comments as always! And thank you for the future video requests too💋💓💕
