Allo polish Pals!
How are you all doing today? I hope you
had an amazing week – tell me your highlight from this week. Today
I am off to work but I am looking forward to a relaxing weekend.
This will be my last weekend at home as I have agreed to work Sundays. Its all
day but its extra hours which is good. I'll also be pretty much on my
own in the fragrance department and apparently they wanted me to do
it as they know that I know my stuff. Quite flattering.
Because of this I have decided to cut
my posts down to twice a week. I want to be as organised and as well
planned as always so I feel that changing my post days will help me
achieve that and keep the blog flowing as well as it has been
(obviously more hours = less painting time but I feel I can keep up
if I switch it a bit) My new posting days will be Monday
and Thursday which will start next week and into the
beginning month.
Today's nail art is summoning up all
the visions of spring one could possibly want – where did our sun
go by the way?! Look at this little piggy enjoying a nice mud bath!
He looks pretty happy, don't you think?
I'm quite pleased with how this design
turned out. I tried a pig before this design and I just wasn't
feeling it at all. I think I could his joyful expression and the
spring feeling down just how I imagined it.
For this design I began with my OPI
Nail Envy base coat (a must for strong and healthy nails. I swear by
this stuff!) And then moved on to two coats of ORLY's 'White Tips'
for a nice blank canvas. I used blue acrylic for my sky, blending it
into a light blue towards the tips of my nails using a medium sized
brush (acrylic-gradient) For all the smaller details I switched to my
Pure Color brush in a size 10. I sealed the entire design with coats
of Pro-FX top coat and once dry applied my Barry M matte top coat for
a very smooth finish.
What do you think of my spring
piggy? Does it feel like spring where you are?
Thank you so much for dropping by, I
hope you have a fantastic day! Don't forget to come back on Monday
for another nail art design – HINT Get ready for some extreme 3D
nail art!
Love,
Ithi

ReplyDeleteNO real highlights form my week except had some amazingly good reads. I love the sly little smirk you added on the little guy it gives him an almost mischievous look.
ReplyDeleteI can actually read some story from your nails. This pig look like having so much fun on a hot sunny day afternoon. Lying down and having a hot mud bath, what a great day to spend!
