Metallic Blue Satin-like Smoosh Nails

Allo polish Pals!

How are you all doing today? Tell me something lovely about your weekend :)
Yesterday I had a nice day just wandering around the mini mall with my sister-in-law. I got another weeny tri-pod. I'm going to take it to England with me, when everyone is at work/school I'll fiddle about and try to see if I can actually film something half decent while I paint! 

This manicure was created a couple weeks ago, while I am not in part of any groups for smooshy nails it had been something on my list of things to try for quite some time, I finally got around to it!

I've made dry marble decals before but this technique with the stamper was new to me. I'd had a few attempts in the past by trying to smoosh directly onto my nails (Oh god, the mess, I always seemed to make some kind of disgusting brown colour!) I kinda like how these look!

For this smooshy nail art I used H&M's 'Metallic Blue', Essence's 'A Girl With A Pearl' and Catrice's 'St. Tropez'. I laid down a layer of clear polish and once that had dried, added a blob of each polish to my marshmallow stamper. I then proceeded to smoosh onto the dry polish. I left these over night to dry nicely. I then applied my base coat, OPI's Nail envy – allowed to dry and then gently applied the decals by warming them in my hands, and gently pressing them onto my nail. They slowly become more pliable and I am able to remove any excess with my clean up brush and remover. I decided to give it a little contrast by adding a 'sort of' ruffian by using a thin brush and black acrylic paint. I topped it all off with my Pro-FX top coat.

I think it looks very earthy... like a satellite image of clouds! My regret is that I didn't take it further and perhaps stamp on top but I still wanted to share it with you!

What do you think of this smooshy colour combo? Have you tried smooshy nails before?

Have a super fabulous day! I'll see you again on Tuesday? Don't be a stranger :)

Love
