Today I have some meh,
bleh. Urgh nail art to share with you. This is the madatory snowflake
icy looking nail art I feel obligated to do.. I'm trying my best not to be a grinch about the cold but its soooooo hard. At least I was nice and warm while I painted this.
Also.. I remembered that I did snowflakes before for a 'snow queen' manicure.. its from 2012!! Id you'd like a laugh, or to see the difference between then and now you can see it here!
I created this manicure
while I was still in Holland so you'll see me struggling with the
'Generation whYte' again.
For this manicure I
began with my usual base coat of Mezmris Nail Lacquer, 'Armor Up'.
Once dry I applied two thin (If you can call them thin..) coats of Catrice's 'Generation whYte'. Again, I
allowed this to dry and added a coat of my Pro-FX top coat to create
a nice smooth barrier. I then created my gradient using my shoddy
bamboo brush and acrylic paints. I love doing my gradients this way
even if it takes more time! I freehanded everything else using my
beloved Pure Color brush in size 9. I've been using this one for
everything lately! I sealed it all in with Mezmris Nail Lacquers top
coat, 'Armor'... Of course I had to try it out with my Wet 'N' Wild
matte top coat too!
I had really high hopes
or this nail art but I think it just looks so lack lustre... still. I
guess I got snowflakes out of the way! One thing I kind of like about this is how it has a sort of sheen to it, after I finished my gradient I ran my brush over my nails while it had white metallic paint on a very wet brush. Can you see it?
What do you
think of this nail art? Have you done any winter themed nail art
yet?
Thank you for visiting, have a beautiful day!
don't forget to let me know what you think :) I'll be back on Friday for some more nail art fun!
Love
