Martin Luther King Jr. was a great man and to be honest that sentiment doesn’t do justice for him. He did more than his fair share to make sure we live in a world full of equality. Every year this federal holiday comes around, but I think that most forget that it’s not just another day off. It’s a day to remember a man who took a huge stand for all of mankind. Not only did he help African Americans succeed and integrate into all facets of American society, but he reminded all of us that we all bleed the same and breathe the same way. That we are all created equal.
His dream that we would all recognize it comes closer and closer every year. And that’s what we are truly celebrating on our Monday off this year. What better way to honor a great man and a great premise than to have it on our nails for everyone to see. Representing someone so brave and genuine with our nail art is one of the best things I can think of doing for a nail artist. So this post is for the nail artists in all of us and the dreamers in all of us. Those who hope to achieve and make things better just like Martin Luther King Jr. did.
I’m starting off with this nail design that is very simple. It’s a dream script nail art. This is simple, elegant, but stand for everything Martin Luther King Jr. stood for. This nail art is inspired by his famous speech “I have a Dream”. This is part of the dream speech. I think it’s only appropriate to quote this a bit before we move onto the design and tutorial.
Now, without further ado, this is the tutorial you will want to watch for your dream nails go here.
This design plays off of Martin Luther King Jr.’s name. Using crowns in the design for his last name King. Which he was truly a King so it’s only fitting that we incorporate crowns in the design.
