Good Morning Girls..
Guess what? I just received my polishes from US- China Glaze and Misa colours. However due to weather trouble (it cant stop raining here!) I wont be able to do any swatches. Hopefully there’s some sunshine this weekend.
Anyway, for today’s post it’s going to be more of a nail art thingy. Initially I was trying out the sponge technique, unfortunately it was so awful and the colour was too sheer that I had to just blend them on my nails. The outcome wasn’t that bad I think:
So what I did here was to use 2 colours from Nubar; absolute and Nubar Treasure, and blend them together.
How to do it? First apply your base coat followed by the base colour- In this case it’s Nubar absolute.
Then just before it dries up, put on the second colour on the tip of your nails. It doesn’t need to be tidy. I wasn’t too happy with the one coat effect so I redid the same thing for the second coat, only this time, the blue; I only used it to cover the lower area, and trying to blend the purple and the blue so there is a 3rd colour effect in the centre. All this you have to do while the polishes are not dried up yet. At the end, it should look something like this:
Wait till it dries off and put on your glossy topcoat. As usual I’m using Diamont Nubar. It takes quite some time to dry though.
I hope you girls like this. It would look really nice with konad tooJ Still waiting for my stamp so cant show you girls that effect.
T.CARE..
it's beautiful!
ReplyDeletebut i could never achieve this, i wonder is it because of the cheapo nail polish i use or rather my skills not good enough?
Wooow, this mani looks amazing! I love it. <3<3<3
ReplyDeleteHi plue..
ReplyDeleteI think the cheapo shouldnt give any prob. Only try to use those that are sheer coz its easier to blend. Also; it might need more layers coz u know hw 'opaque' can it be. Just put a good top coat to give the 'cheapo' a classy finish:-)
Thats how i do it. Invest in a good top coat and base and ur good to go:-)
Tiana..
ReplyDeleteThanks:-)
i use kitchen sponge normally :) it will be a bit messy but just clean it up with Qtip dipped in nail polish remover or buy those nail corrector :)
ReplyDeleteThey will workout fine. i still practice to find good colors to blend tho =p
Thanks for the tips nicole! im doing the same too. but i just think it doesnt work for sheep polishes:-(
ReplyDeleteprobably ill try with the more opaque colours..
The tips look more purple in the pix with flash lighting.
ReplyDeleteIt is tht dark ccw:-) without the flash colour couldn't come out properly. Must invest in good lighting one of these days:-)
ReplyDeleteyea its true. all the glitter tend to stick to the sponge =p
ReplyDeletenice!! reminds me of rainbow... hehehhe
ReplyDeleteNice combination!I will try this sometime!XD
ReplyDeleteWow! Thanks so much for the info! What a great Manila. I'm dying to try this!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful effect! Can't wait to try this on my own nails :D
ReplyDeleteThis looks amazing! And totally easier than the sponge method that I've once tried and totally failed ):
ReplyDeleteThanks! :D
nope. still can't do it. i don't know if i've applied it too thick or what not. :/ it's really disappointing.
