Allo polish Pals!
How are you all doing today? I hope you
had an awesome week and have something fun lined up for this weekend?
You may or may not know that in England
one of our classic takeaway indulgence's is fish and chips! I have
many memories of having fish and chips on sea-side days out. These
days I don't eat things like that very often, or take away food
generally but every once in a while it is nice to have a
treat.
This nail art was inspired by the last
time I had fish and chips, it was cold and drizzling when me, my
mother, sister and niece went to watch the town's annual carnival - Some of you joined me on my live Instagram! My
mum didn't feel like cooking after standing around for so long we
decided to have a cheeky chippy dinner!
Of course 'battered' fish wouldn't look
that great for nail art so I had to 'cute it up' a little.
Just so you know there wont be any new nail
art in my next post.. but it is my 5th blogiversary! So I
will have something else fun lined up for you all!
For this nail art I began with my usual
base coat (Hey, no breaks in like..over two years! - don't jinx it,
Ithi!) of OPI's 'Nail Envy' and once dry I applied two coats of Wet
'N' Wild's 'Putting On Airs'.
I applied a layer of my Pro-FX top coat
as a nice base for my acrylics to stick to and got to work!
I painted the fish and chips using
acrylic paints and my beloved Dance nail art brush. I finished off by
sealing it with another layer of Pro-FX (Boo.. I miss you.) top coat
and eventually added my Barry M matte top coat which suited this
manicure perfectly, I think.
Have you ever had English fish
& chips before? What do you think of my little fishy friends?
Thank you for visiting today, don't
forget to come back on Monday for my blogiversary
surprise!
Love,
Ithi

This is amazing! I just flew back from London yesterday and you bet we ate a lot of Fish n Chips! I wish I had these nails!
ReplyDeleteI have had English fish and chips before. I've traveled to England several times in fact. These nails are amazing. I am amazed at how intricately you painted those fish! I know I would mess it up if I tried it myself.
