Allo polish Pals!
How are you all doing today? I hope
your week is going well. I'm working most of this week – means I
get Saturday off, wahoo! I'm already trying to work out what I'll be
painting on my days off although when it actually comes to it I find
my oompf is lacking. Just like on Sunday, I started painting some
beach hut nails and I just couldn't make myself finish it. My heart
wasn't in it..
But today I have some cute little soot
sprites to share with you, I used to love Studio Ghibli
films such as Howl's Moving Castle, Spirited Away.. And I always
thought those little soot sprites were so cute! So I've captured
them!
In terms of products there's not really
a lot I can say about this design – I used just one nail polish
besides my base and top coat. I focused more on trying to shade
everything so it looked like the soot sprites where popping off the
nails rather than looking flat.
I began with OPI's Nail Envy base coat,
my claim for long, strong and healthy nails. I then applied two coats
of ORLY's 'White tips' for the perfectly smooth clean canvas and
added a thin coat of Pro-FX top coat which creates a nice base for my
acrylic paints to stick on top.
I used a mixture of acrylic paints and
my beloved Pure Color brush in size 10. Once I was happy with my
design I applied two more coats of top coat to seal the design in
(acrylic paint will wash off if you don't seal your design) and
eventually added my Barry M matte top coat for a smooth finish.
One thing that has always got me with
Studio Ghibli movies is the art work. How beautiful they can make
landscapes look, the clouds so puffy and the skies so beautiful you
could float in them.. I guess if I could pick how I painted my
designs would look more like that!
What do you think of this
design? What's your favourite animated movie?
Thank you so much stopping by, be sure
to pop me a hello in the comments :) I'll catch you on Friday, have a
wonderful day!
Love,
Ithi
Your little sprites are SO adorable! I can almost hear the chittering noises I imagine they'd make if they were making sounds :)
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite animated movies is Kubo and the Two Strings, but I love so many I can't really choose.
You kill it every time! Can’t believe how detailed your designs are. Love it!!!
