Allo polish Pals!
How are we all doing
today? Happy Tuesday to you! Have you been up to
anything exciting so far this week? I've had some more bike adventures, finding new places and exploring more than I was able to previously. Me and Doris-Rosita are getting a long just great! I've also been playing with more Nicole Diary water decals and combining stamping with other techniques! FUN!
Today I am showing you
a manicure that was created a few weeks ago, I really had fun with
this, taking pictures of it in its many stages. It may look pretty
simple but I can assure you a lot of hard work went into this one. I
tried to get proper gradients through all the colours inside the
swirls, not an easy job with such little room. There are a few places
where the colours don't blend seamlessly but I'd say its a pretty
fine effort considering!
For this manicure I
began with my usual base coat, OPI's 'Nail Envy' and from there
applied two coats of Essence's 'Rebel At heart' and once dry I
created some circles randomly along my nails with white acrylic
paint. I began to fill these in with 'slices' of colour, adding red,
orange, yellow, green, blue, pi
nk and purple slices to each circle.
Next came the time consuming task of trying to blend each of the
colours together to create a coloured wheel. I then outlined my
coloured balls and added a swirl to the center of each one. I
finished up by adding some random lines here and there, applying my
Pro-FX top coat to seal it all in and finally.. just because I can –
added a matte top coat (I desperately need a new one, argh!)To your left you can see how this started out, step one looks kinda like pizza..or sushi, baha. I added a trianlge of each colour to the circles, in the next picture you can see I tried to blend all those colours together in a sort of 'prism' rainbowy way.
So I really like how this turned out, its.. different; I know I seem to have an obsession with rainbows lately, I'm not sure what's happened but they seem to come easy!
What do you
think of my rainbow swirls? Are you a fan of rainbow nails?
Have a wonderful day, come stop by on Thursday for more nail art fun!
Love
