Showing posts with label acrylic paint

Hello lovelies,

I'm so excited to show you this manicure..actually there's three versions of it!

The theme of the Illamasqua's collection, Paranormal has inspired me and this manicure is supposed to depict tears through the fabric of the universe; between our universe and the one where ghosts, demons and other paranormal creatures live.

I have used Illamasqua Omen and A England Camelot.

Then I said to myself: "Hang on, I could make this even more interesting, white glows under UV light too!" I've outlined the 'tears' and added some distress lines using white acrylic paint and this is the result:

So that was the second post of the day. Did you like it? Would you like to try these new Illamasqua's UV glow polishes? They are available at illamasqua.com or at selected Sephoras.

Hello lovelies,

so here is my Minnie Mouse nail art design! With only three creme polishes in the collection there is a small number of gradient colour combinations you can do so yes, some other bloggers have already done this. I can't remember which ones but if you leave me a link in the comment I can reference to them.

The accent finger features Minnie Mouse over gradient. I have used OPI A Definite Moust-Have,
Chic From Ears To Tail, Innie Minnie Mightie Bow, Minnie Style and acrylic paint.

Since I've gotten the new Illamasqua UV glow topcoat in Geist I wanted to try it out and test how different colours underneath it will influence the glow. It looks interesting and it did not influence the colours in daylight. I've partly painted the accent finger so you can see the difference with and without topcoat. Cool, right?
