Allo polish Pals!
Happy New Year from
this side! (I said it before the new year.. so I get to say it again,
right?!)
Did
you have a quiet New Years Eve at home or did you celebrate with a
bang? It was pretty quiet here for us but we stayed up until midnight,
the fireworks in the streets were insane. It was actually the first
noise I heard in the morning and it carried on even the day after! There
is so much rubbish laying around outside, tsk..
This manicure comes from 2016... I kept pushing it back for some reason.
You may remember
sometime ago last year I made a rainbow prism manicure. I basically put a pizza
slice of each colour of the rainbow on my nail and painstakingly
blended them all together. I liked the result but it was incredibly
time consuming. It didn't stop me from trying it again though! I
added something simple to it, but I like it!
I think you'll agree
that it is a simple addition, in all honesty I didn't want to go
covering up too much of the rainbow because..well.. rainbow!!
For this manicure I
began with my fave base coat, Mezmris Nail Lacquer's 'Armor Up' which
was dry within the blink of an eye. I then applied two coats of very
old gloopy Barry M 'White'. I added a thin coat of Pro-FX top coat to
create a nice smooth barrier to paint on. As I mentioned earlier, I
created this by painting solid triangles of each rainbow colour, it
looked like some kind of maths chart! I then blended each of the
colours to blend them into their neighbouring colour. I finished off
by adding a thin black board and a little star in the center of each
nail for an unusual look.
I seal it all in with
my Mezmris Nail Lacquer top coat, Armor. Finally, not because I had
to..but just for fun I had a look at what this looks like matte. I
think I prefer it!
What do you
guys think, do you like these sorts of manicures? Do you prefer the
glossy or matte version?
I hope you all have a wonderful day! let me know in the comments what you are up
to!
Thank you for visiting,
I'll see you again on Wednesday.
Love

For some reason this design reminds me of like the album cover for a 90s pop band. I'm not sure why that association popped into my head- probably the black combined with the rainbow, and the little stars remind me of the circles in the middle of a CD. In any case, I love the happy vibe of this mani!
ReplyDeleteits beautiful. The color are blended very well :)
ReplyDeleteGuess what? I saw a rainbow in the sky this morning and now this gorgeous one on your nails... yep, very good start of 2017 :D (oh, and matte, definitely matte)
