The penultimate day of the Challenge! Woot!
This mani was inspired by a tutorial, made by the very talented Rosie from Little Nails. Please go check it out because it is so good! It will give you a better idea of what I was aiming for here. Also, then I won't have to explain how I did this!
In the tutorial it's suggested to use a disposable paint palette, but I don't own any and forgot to buy it. I thought regular wax paper would work, but the polish never dried, even left over night. So I used a plastic ziplock bag and I got the polish off okay, but I struggled cutting it (the plastic). My scissors are a little dull and I just couldn't get straight lines.
You'll also notice a lot of bubbles. I think that was a result of not having the pieces completely flush on the nail before the top coat? Then the top coat kind of ate away at some of the pieces as I applied it.
This was quite the adventure! I have 100 times more respect for the work and skill that when into her tutorial!
What I used:
Sephora by OPI Pale is the New Tan
Finger Paints A Grape Catch
Finger Paints Sage It Ain't So
What do you think? Was it worth all that work? It was for me because it was a huge learning experience. There are so many different technique I'd never tried going on here. And I love that this is a look that couldn't be achieved by just painting it straight on the nail.
Last day of the challenge tomorrow!!
