Allo polish Pals!
How are you all doing
today? I hope Feburary has been kind to you so far. Thank you guys for all the caring comments about my blog down time - Lets hope we can go from Feb to Feb'17 without any hitches! I'm slowly getting over my sickness but my body is just so achey. This weekend Mr Bravo's niece will be coming to stay over for a week, I always like seeing her! :) She does the exact same as my niece - first thing in the morning she checks to see whats new on my nails!
Today's manicure is
actually my second attempt at it. It's probably been a good couple of
years since I wanted to create a sort of... zen koi carp manicure.
Something that looks clean and soothing... This is the best I could
really come up with.
I don't even have much
to tell you about this manicure. I took a lot of inspiration from
*This* pin on Pinterest. I used only one polish, Essie's
'Cashmere Bathrobe' to create a darker look between the all the
stones. Next I used my acrylic paints and began painting the fish
first. It was certainly a lot harder than I had expect. I had a lot
of trouble with the fins and tails. Next I added a few little lily
pads here and there and then proceeded to cover the remaining spaces
with varying sized rocks.
I also added a watery look... however it seemed to dry like a streaky, chalky blue which I wasn't *too* happy about!

It was a pretty intense
and long process but I am glad I tried it again. I believe when I
initially tried it years ago I tried to do it all with nail polish...
no.. just no!
What do you
think of my Koi carp pond? Have you done nails that have made you
feel relaxed while creating them before?
Have a wonderful day,
Love
