Valentine's Day Mani / Fail
Happy Valentine's Day to all of you!
I have to admit, I'm not really happy with my v-day mani this year. I tried different things and nothing worked out just how I planned, so I eventually gave up with my third attempt, which is what you can see here.
My base color is Depend 058, a light lilac polish with a slight green duochrome and silver holographic glitter particles. This one's very sheer, I used four coats and it was still far from opaque.
For my accent nail I used OPI Vant To Bite My Neck and a dotting tool for what was planned to look like a heart shape (the thumb came out much better than the ring finger). One coat of KBShimmer Clearly On Top finished this mani (and of course I managed to smear the dots...).
I like the mani nonetheless!
ReplyDeletePerhaps you could've made the smearing more pronounced a little like a heart in flames?

DeleteGood idea, but I guess smearing a mani on purpose is harder than it sounds ;-)
