I'm declaring this week as a bit of a learning curve. Yesterday I learn the very hard lesson that vinyls and humidity do not play well together (and again I was reminded that heat and polish don't play well either). Today I have learnt that I should avoid free handing things when it's hot. Well really I should just avoid all forms of free hand. Anyway, today I had in my head to do the 1970s and do a nice bright tie dye, very hippy-ish mani. For whatever crazy reason I decided to free hand it rather than sponge. Yep, I have no rational behind that decision. Lucky for me most of my background can be hidden with a stamp.
For this mani I used China Glaze's Daisy Know My Name?, Lime After Lime, UV Meant To Be, That's Shore Bright, Red-y To Rave and None Of Your Risky Business. Stamping done using Powder Perfect's Black Stamping and Bundle Monster BM-007.
And because it is good to have a laugh I thought I would include a picture of the base before I stamped over it.
Let's all keep our fingers crossed that tomorrow is a better nail art day for me.
Don't forget to check out all the other Digit-al Dozen ladies.
Your tie dye pattern is incredible! I tried it once and it was laughable...yours is great though!
ReplyDeleteThanks Serene. I think mine is laughable. I'm going to have to look for your now :)
Deletethe base you created is awesome!
ReplyDeleteThank you Sara
DeleteI love your base. How did you do it? I'd love to see a tutorial! See, we are always hardest on ourselves 😀
ReplyDeleteThanks Kathleen. I just used a detail brush and tiny strokes going around in a spiral. I'm not sure how well a tutorial will go for a blog post with this and I don't do videos. Maybe in the distant future I may start but at the moment I don't have the time (or knowledge)
DeleteAre you kidding me? This looks incredible!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kerry.
DeleteLove these! The background is great!!!

DeleteSo gorgeous & that background is faultless. You're so hard on yourself, but then again aren't we all! Loving your decade manis so much!
