​Check Out These Beautiful Fashion Sketches Drawn Entirely From Nail Varnish

One incredible artist, Chan Clayrene who is based in Singapore, is ripping up the rule book and creating beautifully intricate fashion sketches – out of nail varnish. And we are obsessed.

Chan's Instagram account (@Artclaytion) is full of dreamy drawings of princess style dresses and couture pieces, made using a combination of watercolour paints and nail polish (or just straight up nail varnish), and our personal faves – magical mermaids. I mean seriously, how amazing do these illustrations look?! Our art A-level final project is looking spectacularly lame right about now (Mine was a screen print of Amy Winehouse looking massively boss-eyed and is now hidden in the attic, FYI. Tragic.).

This uber-talented lady told Bored Panda that she's living her dream by posting her art on social media and that nail polish is one of her favourite cosmetics: "I love them because of its glossy shine effect… After exploring the possibilities of nail polish on my own nails or paper, I now draw my illustrations on water too! The process of drawing on water is very challenging but exciting, I could ruin my artwork anytime with a wrong stroke!" It's such a cool idea.

This is #ArtGoals to the absolute max. We're off to try and make some magic happen with a mascara and some poster paints... Watch this space (or not).
