Allo polish Pals!
How are you all doing today?
I hope everything is
going great for you so far, have you been up to much? Do let me know!
I've been doing so much walking, I've been averaging around 14,000/15,000 steps a day and it feels good!
Today's manicure is a
fairly simple design that I created during the end of my visit in
England. I didn't have a lot of time but I did want to create
something. This was the
product of that odd hour and a half. :)
For
this manicure I began with my Mezmris Nail Lacquer base coat, 'Armor
Up' (If you are in the UK and looking for a great top coat I highly
recommend it!) and painted all my nails with two coats of Barry M's
'White'.
I
then began drawing very thing grey lines with my acrylic paints and
my beloved Pure Color brush in size #9. On one side of the nail I
applied some varying sizes of gold leaf/foil and on the opposite side
I filled it in with black acrylic paint. On top of this I added some
alternating thin lines in gold paint. To give a little more variation
to this manicure I freehanded a bow on my ring finger nail.
I
finished by sealing everything in with my Mezmris Nail Lacquer top
coat, 'Armor'.
I
feel like this has a kind of classy monochrome look to it, I'm not
sure why it makes me think of the great Gatsby/art deco look. What do
you think?
Have
you used gold foil before, what do you think of this look?
Have
a beautiful day my friends, thank you for visiting. Don't forget to come say hi and if you liked this nail art please do share it :)
Take
care,
I'll catch you
again on Wednesday
Love
Ithi
