Allo polish Pals!
How are you all doing today? Can you
believe we all climbed to the top of the week and now we're all
sliding down the weekend slide?! Wahoooo. I hope you all have
something fun planned.
After a week of feeling a little up and down and banging my head against the wall I *may* have found a college course for nails! It seems perfect, 1 night a week for 16 weeks to get a lvl 2 certificate. Wahoo, I hope luck is on my side and it is possible!

This month in Tiny Canvas the weekly
challenges are all thought of my moi, I had fun coming up with themes
I thought everyone would enjoy. I tried hard to think of themes that
everyone would feel comfortable in taking part in. I love it when
lots of members join in, its fun to see everyone's designs.
The first prompt I thought of was
abstract & 3D elements. I told them to all go
nuts, there's no wrong or right in abstract art!
For this manicure I began with my usual
OPI nail Envy top coat and once dry I moved on with two thin coats of
China Glaze's 'White On White'. I added a slick coat of my Pro-FX -
Apparently they are not selling it in ALL the Walmart's in America
now.. crisis, crisis!! I had my dear friend send me over some bottle
previously, she's my beloved top coat smuggler! I hope she can still
find it.
I then moved onto my acrylic paints,
using a mixture of regular and metallics to create a mottled
colourful background for my abstract to sit on top of. I create a
whole 'bunch of random' to form my abstract, included some gold
caviar beads from Model's Own and finished it all up with a fun stud from the Born Pretty Store (which I have previously reviewed) and my Barry M matte top coat.
I wasn't super keen on this manicure
when I created it but I do kinda like how the gold stands out against
the colours – the matte top coat really did bring it all together
like I had hoped.
If you ever get stuck for ideas for
manicures, the Tiny Canvas challenges are a great way to get a prompt
without much brain-sweat and its never an obligation to enter every
single one.
What do you guys think of my
abstract nail art? Have you created abstract nails before?
Have a beautiful day my friends, thank
you for chilling out with me! I'll catch you again on Monday.
Love,
Ithi
Hey Ithi. I am glad to know you are one step closer to your dream. I hope it all work out for you. x

It`s great! I love abstract on nails, clothes, etc :)
ReplyDeleteYeah for you, you found a course!! I hope it's exactly what you hope it is AND you can enter... I'm keeping fingers, toes and eyes crossed (and make hubby do the same for extra strong effect ;)
ReplyDeleteOf course I love your nails, but that's almost always the case when you do colorful backgrounds. It almost looks like a luxurious velvet cloth with gold 'jewellery' showcased on it :)
So so beautiful
ReplyDeleteI love this so so much! The blues and purples are gorgeous and look amazing with the gold, I love the fun shapes too!!
ReplyDeleteI wish you all the best for the college course for nails, I am sure it will be a great journey for you. The manicure is so detailed and fantastic, I like everything about it!
