Allo polish Pals!
How are you doing
today? I think it was around a year ago now that I had an idea to
create my own 3D DIY wings... I never actually got around to trying
it but the idea had still been stuck in my head. Originally I was
going to do it with bumble bees but in the end it turned into
ladybirds!
I like how the little
one's wings turned out, I wanted them to be transparent instead of
solid, somehow the thumb wings came out solid white... huh.
Today I am flying back to Holland. It's been a very odd week with too much crying, laughing, reminising and celebrating the life of my Grandad. Its been an emotional rollercoaster. Now its time to go home and be back with Mr Bravo, things can calm down and I'm going to get back into my routines. I'll be back commenting very soon, I have missed visiting your blogs as much as I had been.
For this manicure I
began with two coats of Barry M's 'Meadow and created a gradient with
Picture Polishes 'Jade' and Barry M's 'Mustard'. On top of that I
added a special effect topcoat from Hema called 'Green Circus'. I
then used my oumaxi paints and bamboo brush to freehand the
background leaves.
For the wings I used a
small piece of baking paper and added some of Essie's 'Sparkle On Top' (I think) on either
side. Once dry I used my craft knife to cut small wing shapes. The
lady birds were regular studs which I coated with Rimmel's 'Queen of
Tarts'. I then used my black acrylic paint to add their dots.
Finally, once everything was dry and ready I added a small amount of
top coat to the ladybirds to stick the wings on to them.
While it was not
entirely what I had hoped for, it was quite time consuming to get to
the end result (Especially if you include the time freehanding the
leaves.) so I thought I'd share it with you – Next time I will
ensure that the leaves are completely sheer!
Have you ever
created 3D components for your manicures? How do you think these
wings turned out?
Have a beautiful day!
Love

ReplyDeleteI can imagine that your week has been both hard and fun. Hope you'll have a safe trip back to Holland.
I hope you are better dear Ithi :)
ReplyDeleteI love your mani, you are so creative artist dear friend :)
This is so cute! I love the little wings and all the details you created. I love looking at 3D nail art but when I try to wear it myself I end up ruining it after like 5 minutes... Still, gorgeous mani!
