Allo polish Pals!
How are you all doing on this..thrilling Thursday?! I can't say mine will be too thrilling but I'll be out the house.
Do you have anything awesome going on at the moment? Most exciting news I have is.. Bike rides! Ride, ride, ride! I don't want to go anywhere any other way now, I love Doris. I'm planning on taking my original camera out one day - its a bit grey/super hot/stormy here atm and very unpredictable and then I'll try some Panoramic pictures.
Today's manicure...
is... different. I wanted to try mixing acrylic and stamping together
to create something interesting. I am not sure if I made a 'good
interesting' or just a bad manicure!
My aim was to shade my
nails, painting greys and blacks around the nails and fading into
white at the center (much like a radial gradient but done with
acrylics and brushes) I wanted to give the nails a sort of 3D look.
You can judge for yourselves if you think I achieved that.
As always I started with
my OPI 'Nail Envy' base coat. For this manicure I began with two
coats of NYC's 'Williamsburg Vintage' for my white base and added a
coat of Pro-FX for a speedy dry time. I then took my acrylics and
painted the edges of my nails various shades of grey and keeping the
center's white. I then took my Born Pretty Store 'Black Stamping'
polish and stamped each nail using my 'FUN16' nail stamping plate.
Next I added a black border to all the nails and freehanded little
diamonds to each other the nails, trying to shade them to look 3D. I also added Catrice's 'Matte & More' which gave it a really interesting pinky sheen!
I'm not entirely sure
how I feel about this nail art, I do feel like it has a sort
of...Disney Villain look look about it? Maybe
Malicicent would wear this grungey nail art?!
What do you
think of this nail art experiment? Yay or nay?!
Have a wonderful day,
I'll catch you on Saturday!
Love
Ithi
