When we talk about nail art, we usually mean the intricate little pictures and patterns people paint onto nails themselves.

Not these paintings. Chan Clayrene, a visual artist based in Singapore, illustrates her favourite haute couture and fairy tale-like gowns using nail polish.

She told Bored Panda that nail polish is her favourite cosmetic because of its “glossy shine effect”.

After exploring using nail polish on her own nails and on paper, she now draws her illustrations onto water too (it has to be seen to be believed).

She said that drawing on water is “very challenging but exciting, I could ruin my artwork anytime [sic] with a wrong stroke!”

Clayrene uses both traditional and metallic nail polishes to perfection, but she also incorporates flowers and scenery into her artwork, from painting on leaves to creating dresses made of flowers.

The backdrops of many of her creations aren’t too shabby either, from the sands of the Maldives to amazing Parisian-style patisseries.

So it comes as no surprise that Clayrene is rather fairy-tale inspired:

“Hence, it just feels like making a wish in the wishing well and the dream comes true once the artwork is completed,” she said.

“Through this art journey, it motivates me to dare to dream, to always inspire and to be an inspiration for others.”
