Allo polish Pals,
How are you today? I hope your having a
good start to the week :) Did you do anything fun for St. Patrick's
day? Today I was back to feeling chirpy and decided to try something
new. Water nails! I had wanted to try this awesome
tutorial from Chalkboard Nails for sometime and today was the day.
Originally I had planned water lilies but upon finding *this* cute little turtle on Pinterest I knew I would have to go for a turtle
manicure!
For my shell accent ring finger I
started with two coats of Layla's soft touch #11. I then applied
white lines using Fogan's 'white #09' polish and detailed using black
acrylic paint and thin lines of Fogan's '18'. For all my other nails
I used Guylond's set of mini gradient blue polishes, I used them all
except the darkest shade to make a gradient. On top of this I used
acrylic paint in white to hopefully look like water ripples/waves. I
then used black acrylic to create a silhouette of a turtle on my
thumb and gave a few little shell details using the Bronze polish
from Fogan again. I topped each nail off with a splash of top coat.
I personally think the water isn't the best but I think its 'ok' for a first effort!
Have you been inspired to try
someone's tutorial before? What do you think of sea-like
manicures?
Have a great day!
Love
Ithi
