Allo polish Pals!
How was your weekend?
Do you feel revived and ready to take on the new week?
I continued with my walking and while I was very unwell on Saturday I had a fabulous Sunday with all my Dutch family coming over to celebrate Mr Bravo's Mother for Mothers day.
I also...I'm still shocked at this, received a beautiful pink and blue bicycle. I had absolutely no idea and it is so wonderful as it gives me a little more freedom and independence. I can also just go for a ride if I don't feel like doing a walk. This bike is very different to the English bikes I had growing up so tomorrow I will go on a test drive. Considering my feet don't touch the floor when I sit on the seat I could end up in a hedge! By the way, I called her Doris!

Today I have a manicure
that I killed! I was really happy with everything until I
overloaded it with top coat and caused the worst bubbles I've ever
had the privilege to see on my nails. You guys know how fussy and
hard I can be with my creations... In the past I would scrap things
and start over if I felt it wasn't good enough to show you guys and
while I still want to only upload the best... I can think rationally
that..”I put a lot of hard work into this, I spent a lot of time
over it and I did really like it” so.. I'm going to share it
anyway. Isn't that a personal improvement?! Lol. :)
I started with my usual
base of OPI's 'Nail Envy' and once dry I added two coats of Essie's
'Tart Deco' and allowed to dry. From there I began to fill out the
sky by using my acrylic paints to make a gradient with pinks and
yellows. I added my trees and mountains (I clearly need some practice
at mountains) finally I added the water and the Orca whales. I then
proceeded to drown this piece of art in top coat. Its not even the
top coats fault, It is my fave top coat which doesn't normally do
this. I just... flooded it like it was the real sea.
Opps.
Besides the bubbles I
am still really happy with the effort I put in for this manicure, I
know I worked hard and tried new things so the challenge was great.
What do you
think of my whaley manicure? Have you ever had any topcoat
disasters?
Have a beautiful day my
lovelies, Lets regroup on Wednesday, shall we? :)
Love

Loved it. magnificent as always :D Yes whenever the top coat reach half the bottle it start to produce bubble. Time to buy new one I guess :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Upbeat Nails! This top coat is Pro-FX and comes in a huge salon bottle. I kinda don't believe its the top coat as it doesn't always happen, It must be something I am doing like using faaaaar too much. I find it hard to get the right amount but when this top coat does his job its amazing!
DeleteThe bubbles are not noticeable and I am glad that you didn't removed this gorgeous nail art before sharing with us! Have fun with Doris :))
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Andrea! I am glad I shared it too, I can't believe how many manicures I spent hours working on in the past only to let them fade into the manicure abyss. Doris-Rosita (yes her name grew!) is a delight to ride on! xx
DeleteWhat a pretty manicure my dear!♡♡♡
