Bokeh effect nails


In photography, bokeh is the aesthetic quality of the blur produced in the out-of-focus parts of an image produced by a lens. Bokeh has been defined as "the way the lens renders out-of-focus points of light".


The term comes from the Japanese word boke (暈け or ボケ), which means "blur" or "haze", or boke-aji (ボケ味), the "blur quality". The Japanese term boke is also used in the sense of a mental haze or senility.[8] The term bokashi (暈かし) is related, meaning intentional blurring or gradation.

This are the pictures I took inspiration from for this nail art!

To recreate this effect I only used two brand new products from Born Pretty Store.

Here is a small video that I have filmed to show you the entire process:



I started placing the holographic round sequins first.


The jar contains 3 sizes of rounded sequins 3 mm, 2 mm and 1 mm. The shade is very particular between a silver and a holographic effect. The reson why I started with these sequins is because they are more light and reflective so they will give brightness to the bokeh effect.

Then I added these second kind of sequins.



  This second kind of sequins is made with a translucent foil (I think the one used for laser or broken glass nail art). There are 3 sizes mixed: 3mm in a green shade, 2 mm in a red shade and 1 mm in a blue purple shade.

These last item is the trick to give the nail art a realistic bokeh effect.
I place all the sequins  on wet black nail polish with a dotting tool. I try to concentrate the bigger one on the center and smaller and disperse  toward the cuticles and tips of the nails. You don't have to be too precise, if some of the dots overlap a bit is even better.

There are also others shapes avaible such as flowers, stars, hexagon, hearts, butterflies, squares.

Maybe next time I will try to recreate one of these effects:
