Allo polish Pals!
Happy Friday to you
all, how are you doing?! Bam, here we are at the start of another
weekend! Do you have anything nice planned? I may or may not be going
out with my Sister in law for dinner, there was a plan but this whole
week my nightmare eye situation has flared up again – my left eye
is HUGE.
Sadly because of it I
feel pretty rubbish, my vision is blurry, it hurts to bend down..
Back to looking like I've been punched! I had intended to show you a
Born Pretty Store review but I have totally mucked the whole thing
up, luckily I have a few of the stickers left so I will try again
when I can concentrate better.
So instead I'm going to
show you something I did at the beginning of the week before it got
so bad, If you are a member of Tiny Canvas on Facebook you
may have already seen this – the weekly challenge this week was
turtle nail art. I really wanted to join in after missing a couple of
the other weeks (they are optional but always so much to take part
in) I decided to do a turtle in black and white.
So, I didn't have a lot
of ideas or planning when I began this little dude. I just knew I
wanted an acrylic-gradient in there somewhere so I began with my
usual base of OPI's 'Nail Envy' and once dry applied two coats of
NYC's 'Williamsburg Vintage'. I added a coat of my Pro-FX for a fast
drying finish and then proceeded to create an acrylic-gradient with
purple, blue and tropical green. I also added a layer of Zoya's
'Maisie' – yes I am obsessed. I then proceeded to draw/paint a
freehand turtle in black and white. I added some swirls and dots
(mostly because by this point I was in a lot of pain) and finished
off again with my Pro-FX topcoat. I also added Catrice's
'Matte&More' because I find it fun to see how manicures will
look!
I'm quite pleased with
how this turned out, I think he looks proper grumpy but that's ok!
You may notice my thumb
acrylic-gradient isn't as well blended. I tried adding some yellow
fish before quickly changing my mind!
What do you
think of this turtle nail art? Are you part of a nail community
where you've made some good friends?
Have a beautiful
weekend, I'll catch you again on Sunday!
Love
Ithi

ReplyDeleteHow cute!!!!! *w*
ReplyDeleteTo me your turtle doesn't look grumpy but a little sad (and very cute) :)
ReplyDeleteJust wondering, did you have a doctor check out your eye? It sounds so uncomfortable (to put it very mildly) and perhaps they have a remedy? Keeping my fingers crossed you'll be better soon.
These are so beautiful! I love the hint of blue flakes too, it really makes this look like its under water! I hope you feel better :(
ReplyDeleteWohhh...that background is so mesmerizing like a Disney movie! That turtle is having dreamy time! Prayers for you. Get Well soon dear! ^_^
