Allo polish Pals!
How are you doing
today? Did you have a great weekend? I'd love to know what you got up to! I'm anticipating a pretty busy week. Sometimes I get a little flustered if I know I have a lot on, I think "Whenever will I get time to paint?!" Silly, I know. I don't need to panic. Chill, girl, chill! Do you ever feel like there's not enough time to get things done?
Today I am showing you
a rainbow manicure (I know, I know, I'm like partly unicorn by this
point) with a bit of a difference, I hope. I decided that...why not
have a rainbow that goes round in a circle?! I don't know how easy
this would be to do with nail polish, I don't think I'd even want to
try that!
So I began with my
usual base coat of OPI's 'Nail Envy' and once dry applied two coats
of NYC's 'Williamsburg Vintage' – a pretty good white. I then used
my acrylic paints and my bamboo (He seems to get all the messy
blending jobs) brush by painting a small grey dot to the center of
each nail – from here I could then create a triangle/pizza slice
shape from the dot and outwards to the tips. I did this with each
colour on all my nails (Looked like a pin-wheel!) I then began mixing
colours together and trying to blend out the solid triangles so that
they created gradients.
I finished off by
applying a single squared/diamond stud to the center of each nail and
a coat of my Pro-FX top coat and lastly a little lick of Barry M's
'Matte' top coat.. because... well.. Don't you know me by now?! Hah.
I really like how these
turned out. Its different, as I said before, I don't know how I would
do this with nail polish. Does anyone know how it can be done? I
didn't have it at the time but Catrice's 'Matte and More' top coat
which I recently picked up would have added a beautiful sheen to
it...darn!
What do you
think of my circular prism-rainbow nails? Would you wear a manicure
like this?
Have a gorgeous day,
lets hang out again on Wednesday for some more Decal-fun. :)
Love

Cool!
ReplyDeleteWow...It's so so so beautiful! And this time you amaze with a technique you have used to create this looks! Simply awesome! <3
ReplyDeleteI like that you added the stud in the middle and the color rainbow looks stunning!
ReplyDeleteI luv colorful manicure and these are so beautiful. Well done.
ReplyDeleteThis is great. It reminds me of a precious stone. And yes, I do feel the same about time :)
ReplyDeleteReally cool! On your nails it looks great, on mine it would be maybe a bit too much ;-) And yes - I have the same - so many things to do, but not enough time...
ReplyDeleteYeah I feel like I haven't had as much time for my nails lately :( I love the way this came out! You could try doing this with polish and a sponge... I've seen people do radial gradients but not with this many colors!
ReplyDeleteI quite love it!
ReplyDeletewow this is an amazing look!
