Allo polish Pals!
How are you all doing today? I hope
you've had a wonderful and relaxing weekend – or even a long
weekend if you are in the UK. I've been working quite a lot this past
week (looking forward to a day off tomorrow!) which has been really
nice. I have to say I am so happy with the girls I work with, they
really are such a lovely bunch. I enjoy my job but when everyone in
your work place is so kind and wonderful it makes a job even better,
I think!
On Saturday I managed to raise over £40
for breast cancer in the space of an hour and a half to two hours
which isn't bad when your standing by the store entrance. Some people
do look like you've just asked them for rabies so I was pleased with
the result and wish I could have done it for longer.
Today's nail art was a little trial and
error, you know how I love painting skies, be it daytime or night
time but I wanted to try something a little different with my
background. I think it turned out pretty interesting!
For this design I began with my trusty
OPI Nail Envy base coat and once dried I applied two coats of ORLY's
Breathable nail polish in 'Good Karma'. Since the Breathable nail
polish formlar is so amazing and dries incredibly fast I was ready to
paint in no time. For the background I used a whole mixture of
metallic acrylic paints, I painted them on in lines, sort of.
I then used my beloved Pure Color brush
in size 10 for all the smaller and finer details. To seal the design
in I used two coats of Pro-FX top coat and eventually added Barry M's
matte top coat for a beautiful and smooth effect.
I kinda like how this design turned
out. It's different. Different isn't always bad. I
kinda wish I had made the constellations into some kind of shape
though, maybe a heart or something might have been cute.
What do you guys think of my
starry constellation nail art? Would you wear a sky scene on your
nails?
Have an amazing day my loves, thank you
so much for stopping by. I'll catch you again on Thursday for some
more nail art fun.
Love,
Ithi
Congrats on raising that money for breast cancer Ithi, that's awesome and it's such a worthy cause too. Love how your nails look BTW. It's so subtle and beautiful. It makes me think of a french manicure from the future or some alternative universe. Really lovely

ReplyDeleteAnything that has to do with stars, space and constellations are my weaknesses! I'm pretty sure the kids and I are going to try this nail art, I just wish I had the same ORLY's nail polish, they really work wonders.
