Showing posts with label acrylic paint

Why you ask? Because it took so incredibly long that I didn't even finish all nails!

It all started with me drawing this pattern on a piece of paper few months ago. I don't remember if I saw it somewhere but I'm sure it must have been done before. I finally decided to do this mani and this is the result:

I have started with a subtle gradient using OPI Toucan Do It If You Try and Red Hot Rio from the Brazil collection.Then I've painted white lines forming triangular patterns (tutorial here, stop at step 3) using OPI Alpine Snow. Then it was time to paint the inner black lines highlighting the triangles. I've used black acrylic paint but it took so long that I've decided to do only three nails.

 

I must say I actually really liked the result and the combination of two types on design. I wore the nails for three days and it pained me so much to take them off :(

 

Hope you like them too and don't forget to enter my 4 Year Blogiversary Giveaway!

 

 

Hello lovelies,

 

Today's nail art and tutorial have been waiting in my 'Unpublished' folder since summer last year and I finally got to editing it. I really like this floral pattern and I've already used it once in this holo manicure. It is easy to do as it's just one type of petal and it looks so elegant!

I have used Dazzle Dry Passion Purple (reviewed here) as a base colour and white acrylic paint for the flowers. The last picture shows the manicure with a coat of China Glaze Fairy Lights holographic glitter topper but no topcoat so it's a bit gritty...I don't know what I was thinking lol.

 

Here's how to create this manicure:
