Todayโs post is a tribute post in memory ofย @ane_liย โ a highly talented young nail artist from Norway who recently lost her battle with depression ๐ Iโm not alone in disbelief at the loss of someone so talented and young, nor the sadness that reverberated throughout the nail community with such news.
For her final act, she scaled the peak ofย #PolishMountainย to plant her flag, and leaves behind a legacy of nailspiration. (follow the link to see what this is visually, but in a nutshell it is a polish stack of a ridiculous number of polish layers started by Cristine @ Simplynailogical).
Many are sharing recreations of her work today to commemorate her life, using the hashtag #sharetheloveforaneli. Iโve recreated one of her earlier pink & white feather manis that Iโll call the Infinite Hope one (with the infinity sign, feather and word โhopeโ). She always nailedย #gradientnailsย ๐ I changed it a little to make it suit the occasion.
This is herย original, for reference:
I usedย @picturepolishย Hot Lips,@ChinaGlazeย Glow With The Flow,@essenceย Wild White Ways for the gradient. Along withย @opi_productsย Matte Top Coat,ย @whatsupnailsย Pure Color No. 10 brush and acrylic paint for the detailing
If any of you are struggling, donโt be afraid to reach out. Rest in peace, Ane Li Jacobsen ๐ May you find your serenity
