Todayβs post is a tribute post in memory ofΒ @ane_liΒ β a highly talented young nail artist from Norway who recently lost her battle with depression π Iβm 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 ofΒ #PolishMountainΒ 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. Iβve recreated one of her earlier pink & white feather manis that Iβll call the Infinite Hope one (with the infinity sign, feather and word βhopeβ). She always nailedΒ #gradientnailsΒ π I changed it a little to make it suit the occasion.
This is herΒ original, for reference:
I usedΒ @picturepolishΒ Hot Lips,@ChinaGlazeΒ Glow With The Flow,@essenceΒ Wild White Ways for the gradient. Along withΒ @opi_productsΒ Matte Top Coat,Β @whatsupnailsΒ Pure Color No. 10 brush and acrylic paint for the detailing
If any of you are struggling, donβt be afraid to reach out. Rest in peace, Ane Li Jacobsen π May you find your serenity
