Allo polish Pals!
How are you all doing
today? Do you have any exciting plans this weekend?
Today I have a manicure
to share with you that probably isn't the greatest but it was a
lengthy process to get to its completed state! I have a before and
after, then I'll explain what I did!
*How do I manage to cleanup all the decals but leave traces of the freehanding paint?! Duhhhh
So I began this
manicure by applying some regular top coat to an old piece laminate
flooring. Its my poor man's 'Uber Mat' but you know what, stuff peels
off so it'll do! I then began layering a mixture of Barry M's 'VIP',
Fogan's glitter I forgot.., Lady Venezia Don't remember the name also.. (When I am sick I get stupid-brain) Color Club's 'Eternal
Beauty' and TipTop Polishes 'Jazz Berry'. Next I took a tooth pick and began
swirling the polishes around in no real order what so ever –
skills, bahaha. I left all of this in a safe place to dry over night.
The next day I painted
my nails with just my base coat of OPI's 'Nail Envy' and carefully
began to unpeel the decals. I trimmed them down to fit my nail
length and rubbed them gently onto the nail. I used nail polish
remover and a fine square brush to gently remove any excess from
around my nails and cuticles.
I then added some
freehand planets, stars and a little Ithi floating around in space (she looks nothing like me)
I'm quite blah about the freehand stuff but I love the concept. I'll
be doing more decals like this in the future, they look so
interesting!
What do you
think about this manicure? Do you like to mix up technique
together?
Have a gorgeous day,
Love
Ithi
It is wonderful - I love it!

ReplyDeleteI really like the way you painted the galaxy, it's well done ! ;)
This is so beautiful! I wish I had your freehand skills, I'm happy if I even succeed with a stick figure on a regular piece of paper ;)
ReplyDeleteIt's fantastic! And your freehand is AMAZING.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a complicated, lovely job.
