Allo polish Pals!
How are you all doing
today? I hope you had an amazing weekend?
I didn't really get up
to much, just taking care of errands and organizing things. Just a
typical quiet weekend, really. How about you?
Today's nail art leaves
me a little unsure.. I will just let you guys be the judges.
This weeks theme prompt
for the weekly challenge over on Tiny Canvas is 'Bling it!' nails. I
wasn't quite sure how I wanted to tackle this one as I've done full
studded accent nails before and wanted something slightly different..
so I opted gel polish with the intention of getting a very glitzy,
built up glitter look.
I'm really sorry to those of you who don't like gel nail art - Maybe we can just pretend there is no gel?! :')
I created this manicure
by applying one coat of NYC's peel off base coat and once dry applied
two coats of Catrice's 'Johnny Deep' from the new IconNails range. I
again allowed this to dry and followed on with a thin coat of
BlueSky's gel top coat; This was the sticky type of top coat.
I cured my nails under
my UV lamp for a few seconds and used the tacky layer for adhering my
glitter and sequins which was literally a mixture of different types
of glitter, iridescent shards and sequins I mixed together. I applied
my Born Pretty Store gel top coat (the no wipe, non sticky kind) and
cured again. Voilà!
Obviously I didn't need
the peel off base for the freehand heart nail so I regular polishes
here and used acrylic paints to paint it. On top I sealed it in with
my Pro-FX top coat.
What do you
guys think of my blingy tips? Have you tried blinging nail art
before?
Have a beautiful day my
friends, thank you so much for visiting, I'll catch you
again on Wednesday, Here's a sneak peak of what's coming up!
Love,
Ithi
