Allo polish Pals!
How are you all doing today? I hope you
are having a great weekend so far (I'm aware I am posting this at
7am, ha) Did anything interesting happen to you during the week?
Now that we're officially in fall it
seems only right to bring out the obligatory leafy fall nail art. I
come to this point every year. Do I.. Don't I?...Each year I try and
out do my previous efforts. This time I decided to use two products
together that somehow seem like a match made in heaven, they seem to
just 'glow' with each other.

| Do you see what I mean about that radiating glow? |
When I decided to do this manicure I
decided to use my amber/golden magnetic nail polish from the Born
Pretty Store (this one, I recently reviewed.) and combine it with a
little swipe of my golden mirror chrome powder... argh, they did
something magical together I do believe!
Of course since I used gel nail polish
I began with one coat of my NYC 'Strip Me Off' peel off base coat and
once it had turned completely transparent I then applied a thin coat
of the magnetic cat's eye gel polish. I cured for a few seconds and
applied a second layer, this time using a magnet on the tops and
free edge of my nails to get that magnetic magic to happen. I cured
again, added Born Pretty Store's No Wipe top coat and cured for a
final time.
Next I used my gold mirror chrome
powder and brushed it gently along the left side of each nail. I then
applied a regular top coat to keep my acrylic paint art in place and
got busy painting some little leaves. To finish I sealed it all in
with another layer of top coat.
All in all I am really happy with how
this one came out. Its got a glow and warmth to it to match the
autumn leaves, don't you think?
Thank you so much for visiting today, I
hope you enjoyed this post. Have an awesome weekend, I'll catch you
again on Monday!
Love,
Ithi
Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHa, we must have been thinking along the same lines. I just finished an autumn leaves manicure myself. Your leaves are way nicer though, and oh... your base is gorgeous! If you lived closer I would have run over and begged you to do my nails the same :)
ReplyDeleteHi sweetie! This nail art has turned out super well, I like these warm tones all together! Smuack
ReplyDeleteHi Ithi.

Ooh la la, that's amazingly beautiful ♥

ReplyDeleteBeautiful and creative manicure. Love the fall vibe.
ReplyDeleteI have this nail polish but didn't tried it yet, but I am sure in the near future I will because it is perfect for this season.Love the leafs you painted, the whole mani looks 3D like...very pretty. I never tried soak-off gel polishes with a regular peel off base coat, but it is definitely a very good idea because the removal takes a lot of time!
ReplyDeletethey are beautiful
ReplyDeleteI thought those leaves were water decals! WOW!!! You are really good! I do my own nails but I surely cannot paint leaves like that!
