Allo polish Pals!
How are you doing
today? Are you looking forward to the weekend? I've had such a
productive day and I'm glad to be taking a break with some blueberry
muffin tea ~ yum! I'm looking forward to a busy
weekend also but I'm sure tonight there will be some time in between
to chill out with a glass of wine and some nail painting while Mr
Bravo is out playing darts! Today's manicure was inspired by this
dress I saw on Pinterest, I loved the gradient and did my best to
recreate the stripes. Although mine looks a lot different I do quite
like my first time using a fan brush!
On all my nails I started with two
coats of Fogan's '06' which is a gorgeous light beige/taupe. I
then created a gradient using Fogan's '12' and Sally Hansen's
'Ressurection'. I finally look my fan brush with a gradient mixture of
Essie's 'To Buy Or Not To Buy' and Guylond's light blue from their blue gradient set.
I was actually pleasantly
surprised that I didn't want to wipe these off right away and I sort
of like the scratchy finished look. If I could change one thing I
would have liked the lines to all be thin (The pinkie finger's lines
where a little too chunky for my liking)
What do you think of this manicure?
Have you used a fan brush for nail art before?
Have a great day, beauties!
Love
Ithi
Oh wow these colours are so pretty and I think you replicated the dress pretty well. I've never found a use for the fan brush but this looks so cool - how did you manage to get the paint on evenly? Is there a certain technique to it? :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Alice! To be honest I kinda just went for it. I put the two shades together and swept the brush through them and kept swiping the brush clean so I didn't get too much build up. I think maybe its time to make a new tutorial :D xx
DeleteAwwww..I love this design so much!! I will be happy to see tutorial for this pretty nails! Take care! :D
ReplyDeletelove this ! you use blue and purple ! at it come out perfect !i saw that dress ,lovely ! enjoy the weekend !
ReplyDeleteNice dress:)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful mani, love that gradient! Enjoy your glass of wine:))
This looks great! Looks way better than the inspiration :D I've tried a fan brush twice, the first time it came out super awesome and at my second try I failed miserably haha :D I think the polish the second time perhaps was too thick or something. I think I must try again to see if the first time was a lucky strike or not ;)
ReplyDeletethis is beautiful, i love your inspiration!
