Allo polish Pals!
How are you all doing, did you have an
awesome weekend? Yesterday was Mothers day here – I know in other
parts of the world Mother's day is later on in the year. I love my
mum so much, we are incredibly close and I value her greatly. I
bought her a bouquet of lilies and roses which she loved. Sunday
afternoon we went to my sisters house (she literally lives a minute
away) and they cooked a roast dinner which was lovely.
Today I have another rainbowy
concoction for you. Sorry, but I can never get enough of rainbows.
Rainbows make everything better!
I also tried an experiment with this
nail art, with some acrylic paint I watered it down to create a
metallic shimmery wash (just to swipe over the nails to add a little
shimmer) – I added some holographic glitter to it. Since it was in
a watery mixture it didn't stick to the nails perfectly but trying
new things is always fun!
For this manicure I began with a single
coat of ORLY's 'White Tips' – sorry but I've found my go to white
nail polish, there's no turning back. I then used a mixture of
acrylic paints and painted on my rainbow gradient with a brush. I
added a shimmer wash, watering down metallic acrylic paint and
holographic glitter, I applied the watery mixture onto my nails. I
allowed that a short while to dry before moving on with black and
white acrylics to paint the tree and grass. I used my Pure Color
brush in #9 for the detailing. Finally I applied my ORLY Glosser top
coat and eventually my Barry M matte top coat.
I'm thinking of a sort of ask
and answer post, so if you've any questions about my nails or nail
art please do leave them in the comments!
What do you think of this nail
art? Do you think the glitter works for this design?
Thank you so much for visiting, have a
fantastic day, don't forget to leave your thoughts in the comments.
I'll catch you again on Wednesday!

The glitter most definitely works Ithi. It's so subtle and totally fits with the rainbow theme. I'm still in awe of how you manage to blend on such a small canvas like your nails. I'm wowed every time I see you artwork
ReplyDeleteI love rainbows and I really like the glitter effect you added. I really like the tree in the middle as a focal point. I think an ask & answer post could be fun.
ReplyDeleteI can never get bored of rainbow as it light up my mood! I love how you add in the glitter as it also even highlighted the whole nails. I really hope I can draw such a nice pictures on my nails!
ReplyDeleteThis nails are looking so cool! I love rainbow nails. Unfortunately I'm not that much good in styling my nails by my own. But thanks for the inspiration and maybe my sister will try to do them on me. haha
ReplyDeleteWow I love it! I especially love the nail with the tree. You did a really great job. I adore the colors and how creative this is :)
ReplyDeletePersonally I am not into glitter but I think it works. It looks good with all the colors. Again another creative work which has blown me away.

ReplyDeleteAs always, I love your nail designs. How long does it take you complete something like this? I am not a fan of glitter, but it does look good with the design and colors.
ReplyDeleteI love rainbows and the glitter effect you added looks so amazing. I am really a fan of your work, the details on the tree and the whole nail art is just wonderful.
ReplyDeleteIt's interesting how you kept the tree in black gradients while the sky in rainbow. Have you tried out a rainbow tree and the sky in other colours? will love to see that!
ReplyDeleteHi Ithi, I have many friends in GB so I saw all the Mother days greetings pass on Sunday and made me miss my mum so much! I phoned her and while talking to her, I burnt the dinner, LOL!!
ReplyDeleteWell, I LOVE, love, love, your mani, rainbow gradients are my absolute favourite thing and you did it wonderfully.
For your QandA post I have some questions: what acrilyc colours you use? which brand and where can they be found online?
