Hi there lovelies! Yay for Friday hey!
Most nail polish and nail art blogs are featuring beautiful mint mani's today in remembrance of Talia Joy. I'm really hoping I can join in this great effort to bring honor to someone who was already at such a young age an inspiration to so many people! Fingers crossed!
Onto today's post...
Skittle mani's. They look and are so
easy to do! They are fun, adventurous and quite cute looking! The
perfect excuse for any nail artist who wants to try a whole bunch of
different designs but doesn't have the patience time
to do all of them separately! I adore them...except on me! For some
reason they never look right when I do them! It's like I never really
choose the right type of patterns to go together. It's weird. But in
the spirit of learning and growing together, I have decided to post
my attempt that I tried a few weeks ago anyway.
Nail Polishes Used:
- China Glaze Make and Entrance
- China Glaze White on White
- WOW Nail Polish 393
Tools Used:
- Dotting tool
- Wide fan brush
Other:
- Bundle Monster plate BM222
- Rhinestones
- Loose small hex glitters

On my index finger, pinky and thumb I
layed down a basecoat of WOW 393. On the thumb I made random
polka dots with the dotting tool using China Glaze Make an
Entrance. On my index layed down a thin layer of top coat and put
on a few rows of small hex glitters in silver. And on my pinky I used
this tutorial from my friend V's blog (For The Love of Nail Art) and made a few swipes with China Glaze White on White
and then a few swipes with China Glaze Make an Entrance over
the white.

For my middle and ring finger I layed
down a basecoat of China Glaze Make an Entrance.
Then my
middle finger I stamped on the butterfly design (tramp stamp on my
finger yo!) using Bundle Monster plate BM222, layed down a
thin coat layer of top coat and placed small black hex glitters
around the butterfly. On my ring finger I kept it “simple” and
stuck on 2 black rhinestones. I topped everything off with a coat of
Seche Vite. Besides it being an awesome top coat, it also
helps keep the rhinestones in place!

Overall it's not a bad skittle mani! I
just didn't...”feel it”, if that makes sense. But hey, that only
means I get to work on this type of nail art some more till I'm
eventually happy with it! And that's a WIN in my books! ...Also, and
purely by coincidence, my friend M from Ordinary Misfit also did an pink and black skittle mani this week on her blog! Go lookie!
If
you would like me to swatch any of the colours you saw in today’s
post, please let me know via email or drop me a comment below. More
than willing to oblige!
Lots
of mad love
Hehehe what a treat, we both have the pink and black!
ReplyDeleteI SO get you though. I never feel like I get them right. Like the combination is just off.
YOU on the other hand did an AMAZING job! I love it!!!!
I can't wait to see more stamping from you. Super jealous of all your amazeballs plates.
I love love love love love this (and no not just because it has pink :P)
Good job T! I love it!
(can you tell?)
Lol I promise it wasn't n purpose!
DeleteHahaha thanx M! Ugh, stamping scares me! I've got cuticles that push up high so it tends to make this stupid gap when I try to stamp. Want to buy the double stamper from BPS and see if it works better!
But thanx again! Heee
I'm sorry but the pinky is clearly the stunner of the 5 ;) hehe
ReplyDeleteNo I think this whole shabang works well - colours and designs. I mean ok because it's pink in it, it's a bit more sexy but you still did a good job :D
Damn straight the pinky is the stunner! I have good mentors! *bows head*
DeleteThank you V! hahaha ya, I thought pink would be smexy to you! Think I'm going to do a teal one next time though! :P
