Allo polish Pals!
How are you all doing
today? I hope you had a exciting weekend – do share some details!
Hopefully it was more exciting than mine, haha.
Today's manicure comes
from the heart. I had an idea for something with hanging stars for a
while but I also combined it with something I saw on pinterest (I
didn't pin it – so sorry! My bad) If you've been a visitor for a
while then you'll know I have a thing for stars... Sometimes when I
walk the dog at night I will look for the brightest star and just
think/name the people who are no longer here. Not in a sad way, but
its sort of like letting them know I am thinking of them. Kinda like
sending an message in some weird way. Now.. that doesn't mean that I think they are up there (Everyone has their own ideals) or that I think they are stars..It just makes me feel cozy in my heart!
You all knew I was
crazy by now, right?
For this manicure I
began with Mezmris Nail Lacquer base coat, 'Armor Up' and once dry
applied two coats of Essence's ''Rebel At heart' and allowed to dry.
I then added a thin coat of Pro-FX top coat to create a barrier
between my polish and paint because.. who knows why? I'm a creature
of habit! I then used black metallic acrylic paint to darken the tops
of my nails and used white acrylic to fade it out so you could still
see the sparkly polish beneath. I then used my finer brushes for the
smaller details and finished with Mezmris Nail Lacquer's top coat.
Because I like to see
how things look matte I did try it by adding a later of Wet'N'Wild's
Matte top coat but this one.. was not one that looked good matte, do
you agree?!
I like all nail
art...but sometimes just feeling the feels out in nail art can really
be therapeutic.
What do you
think of my starlit cloudy sky? Do you have any habits like my
star-thing that are special to you..or just make you feel better?
Have a great day, my
friends. I'll catch you again on Tuesday. Take care of yourselves!
Love
Ithi

ReplyDeleteCompletely agree with all of the commenters above me. It's a lovely idea and you painted it beautifully.
ReplyDeleteAnd I also don't think you're crazy. In fact, I do something very similar at night when I'm looking at the sky :)
