Glamorous Fashion Sketches Made With Nail Polish

Chan Clayrene, an incredibly talented artist based in Singapore, uses nail polishes to create glamorous fashion sketches of haute couture gowns. She plays around with solid colors, glitter-based ones and shimmery shades and a variety of brushes to recreate the fabric detailing of the gowns. Her designs are inspired by luxury brands, such as Zuhair Murad, Dolce & Gabbana, Marchesa, Valentino, Elie Saab, as well as by her own creative imagination.

I always have a princess dream and that is why I love to draw and paint princess dress! Till the day I found Zuhair Murad's Couture collections, they are absolutely stunning and i am madly in love with it at the very first sight. Their haute couture pieces are so breathtaking and gorgeous ! I am definitely beyond thrilled to see @zuhairmuradofficial my artwork again on their official ig page!! It really meant a lot to me and totally made my day! Thank you for making my dream comes true and #TGIF everyone ❤ 从儿时深受迪丝尼童话故事的影响，一直以来我都有公主梦。因此公主梦幻是我的作品很重要的元素。现实社会太残酷更让我对想要成为公主的欲望更为强烈，好像能从画画里喘一口气实现梦想，画出想要的完美礼服，让自己累积能量再出发。从大学到现在的作品都和公主与礼服拖不了关系。直到毕业后发现了Zuhair Murad 的高级定制礼服，瞬间震撼了我！我就立马就好像粉丝般狂烈紧追他们家的每一次的最新礼服，每次都没让我失望！就会用我的方式把礼服画出来，好像自己也拥有了他们的礼服。最近有几幅作品被他们Instagram的官网转发，真是让我难以致信！更开心到眼泪在眼睛里打转（我是爱哭鬼）就觉得这么多年的坚持没有白费，为梦想的路上打了强心针！谢谢大家是时间看我发表感言，但其实就想和大家分享我的心得感受！希望能一起得到正能量为梦想加油打气❤ . . . . . . . #fashionillustrated #fashionillustration #fashionart #zuhairmuradbridal #zuhairmurad #hautecouture #artclaytionillustration #artclaytion #fashionillustrator #fashionillustratorsg #gown #artist #artistsg #artistsoninstagram #artdiaries #fashionphoto #nailpolishart #nailpolishaddict #instadaily #instagood #fashionblogger #illustrated #illustrator #illustratorsg #illustrationdaily

But Clayrene does not only paint on nails and paper. She also makes nail polish art using water as the canvas.
