Wassily Kandinsky


Wassily Wassilyevich Kandinsky (1866 –1944) was an influential Russian painter and art theorist. He is credited with painting the first purely-abstract works. Born in Moscow, Kandinsky spent his childhood in Odessa. He enrolled at the University of Moscow, studying law and economics. Successful in his profession—he was offered a professorship (chair of Roman Law) at the University of Dorpat—he began painting studies (life-drawing, sketching and anatomy) at the age of 30.

We would like to introduce you a nail design with tutorial  by one of the Wassily Kandinsky’s paintings – “Splashy Harmony”, 1938.



The design is made by Tatiana Machitarova, graduate of Nail Couture Moscow, Russia. Bronze-prize winner of International Championship Nevskie Berega in Mix-Media, 2011.


Sculpt the base layer using Pink EF powder. Extend the natural nail bed using Cover Pink powder.
Using color powder Teal create the background color of our design.

With Pure Black powder mixed with a little bit of glitter, sculpt the shape of our design. Using dots tools, create some laces on the outlines.

Add some color circles using color EFexclusive powders – Neon Orange, Neon Green, Pure Red, Neon Blue.

Place some smaller size dots using acrylic paints. Cover the entire nail with clear powder. File and shape the nail, cover it with the Top Coat.

The design is ready!
