Allo polish Pals!
How are you today? I'm feeling much
better today, thankfully! I have to put it down to all your kind
comments, it must be good for my health, hehe. Today I actually felt
brave enough to bring the acrylic paints out again and if I am honest
this is probably my hardest freehand manicure ever. I got the
inspiration from this beautiful illustration I found on
Pinterest. I decided not to include the houses at the bottom of the
picture but I like to imagine that the little boy and girl are
actually tucked up in bed and fast asleep, perhaps this is where they
have adventures in dream land. I also really like to think of them as
my Niece and Nephew who I absolutely adore.
I started with two coats of TipTop
Nail's 'Lilac Blue' (I think its called...) and added a gradient
using Sally Hansen's 'Resurrection'. Everything else is created with
my favourite bamboo brush from The Born Pretty Store and Oumaxi
Acrylic paints.
In reflection... I'm pretty happy with
this and the idea of it. I wish the sails looked a little neater and
to my bare eye I assumed it was – But hey. I'm only human and right
now my back is aching after my poor painting set up (in case your
curious I paint sitting on the bed with a cardboard box for a table..
so you can imagine!)
What do you think of my dreamy
freehand design? Where do your dreams take you? :)
Have a great day!
Love
Ithi
