Allo polish Pals,
How are you today? I hope your having a
sparkly week so far? This is just going to be a quick post for me
tonight since I am feeling a little worse for wear and I am utterly
ashamed at this manicure! Day 19 of the 31DNAC means galaxy nails and
I love creating pigment nails so I assumed I could combine the two
however the end result has me just...horrified...
On my thumb, index and pinkie I applied
two coats of Barry M's 'Plum' gelly polish. My other two fingers
began with two coats of Barry M's 'Blackberry'. While applying my
second coats I added my pigments (From Pureluxe and Meow cosmetics) I
finished this with a top coat and added some 'stars' with my white
acrylic paint from Oumaxi (Via SammyDress)
There's no two ways about it.
I hate it. I don't know what happened, I've created some
really striking pigment manicures before and while this looks so nice
in natural light my pictures just look... bleh. The colours just look murky in my opinion..I guess you can't win
always.
What do you think of this
attempt at a galaxy? Do you think pigment shadows are a good way to
create the look?
Enjoy the rest of your evening.
Love
Ithi
I've never tried using pigments before... I've also never tried galaxy nails before but it's coming up in my 31 day challenge too! I'm sure these look nice in real life but some things just don't photograph well :( I think the camera sometimes makes things look sharper and more defined (for example the glitter bits) than it would look in real life. Sometimes I find that taking lower quality pictures with my cell phone's camera works better, the pictures end up looking more accurate to real life.
ReplyDeleteI maybe should have used my cell phone; I was feeling so down about the whole thing I just wanted to get it over with in the end, My previous pigment nails photographed so beautifully which is why I couldn't understand this outcome. I'm sure your galaxy nails are going to be very beautiful! xx
DeleteI think this looks nice :-) And I like the colours :-)
