Happy Saturday, Polish Pals!
How is your weekend going? Hope its
fantastic! I visited my Dad today in hospital and while he is still
very unwell and will be on medication for life he seems to be
recovering well. Many sighs of relief.
Today I have a nail polish look for you
that has received very mixed reviews. I was still
sporting Models Own Grey Day this morning when I remembered an old
painting I did a couple years back. It was my second water colour
painting and I decided I would try to imitate the background!

On top of Model's Own 'Grey Day' and
then dabbed on Essie's Over The Edge, Nubars White Tip using
cellophane. I also applied Models Own Pro matte coat before finally
dabbing on some of Nubar's Impulsive Silver. In certain light the
silver catches the light just like the picture which is actually very
very shimmery.

My sister very bluntly told me what she
thought of this look and she really wasn't impressed. My mum on the
other hand loved it. I wanted it to look similar to the picture
background and at least have that 'Painters table at the end of the
day' look! A little grungey I suppose!
What do you guys think? Are you for or
against this look? Are you a fan of using cellophane on nail art?
Now its time to eat steak at my Sisters
house :) Enjoy your Saturday!
Love

So sorry about your dad. I hope he gets well soon.
ReplyDeleteI like this look so much! I think you totally capture the background you wanted to reproduce. I've never heard of cellophane technique though... would you show it once? like a tutorial I mean, would you?

Thank you! Like I said on your blog, I will do a tutorial :) I'll do it in brighter colours so its easier to see too! :)
Deletei love this look, really raw! many thoughts for your dad!
ReplyDeleteThats awful to hear about your dad but I hope he has a good recovery from whatever happened. On the other note, that painting is amazing and very inspiring and from what I can tell on my iphone, the nails look very close to the real thing. Keep it up, because
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy visiting this specific blog quite often :D
