Allo polish Pals!
How are you all doing today? I hope
this week has started off well for you.
So.. I had my interview on Monday, thank
you so much to those of you who wished me good luck. It went well, I
arrived early and it literally only took 10 minutes or so. I was
confident and feel I did the best I could but - and here's the
sucker.. At the end of the interview the man told me he had had over
50 people apply for the role... dang.. There's
nothing I can do now but wait. And paint. We'll see what happens.
Today's nail art combined two of my
favourite things, rainbows and unicorns. Childish? Pss. I just don't
think you can ever have enough colour in life. Colour inspires me, I
may not be the best at pairing sophisticated colour combinations but
its always fun trying!
For this design I decided to create
what I call a acrylic-gradient and I did this in a sort of prism, the
rainbow is done entirely with acrylic paints and brushes. I find
these so relaxing to paint. I used ORLY's 'White tips' – a 'wonder'
in the white nail polish category, this is perfect in two coats
although for nail art where I am covering the whole nail with acrylic
paints I can easily get away with just one coat. Bonus. I sealed it
all in with my Pro-FX top coat which is showing its age in the glossy
pictures since it left awful bubbles, they did vanish with Barry M's
matte top coat which is a blessing as I really wanted to showcase
this design in its matte form anyway.
Below is a manicure I did first of all
which I just wasn't happy with, I wanted it to be cute however I
think it just looked badly done but I thought I'd share it anyway so
you can see the difference between the two designs and its original
idea.
Which design do you prefer
best? Do you like unicorns and are we ever too old for them?!
Thank you so much for visiting, be sure
to leave your thoughts in the comments below. I'll see you again on
Friday, have an awesome day!
Love,
Ithi
Having 50 people in a line in front of you can be intimidating or stressful, but I'm glad we're hoping for the bright side. Speaking of which, your nail art looks absolutely adorable. I love how detailed everything is when you describe each solution.
ReplyDeleteOh my! These are absolutely beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI love the first design for my self, but my oldest daughter would love that second design.
I really love the Unicorn nail art. Love the second nail art looks really cute. You are so creative all your works are so impressive.
