Today's 31DC2018 theme is rainbow nails. Rainbow nails are always so fun to do. I think I have previously only even done a gradient mani for this prompt. Whether is be a gradient background with either black or white stamping over the top or a white base with a rainbow gradient stamped over it. Well I have Uberchic Beauty's new striper brush to play with so I thought I would do something completely different - random rainbow stripes.
For my base I used Pretty Serious Cosmetics Presence and then used Grace-full Nail Polish Raspberry, Mango, Lemon, Apple, Blueberry and Grape.
While my stripes are far from perfect (it has been a very, very long time since I have used any form of nail art brush let alone tried doing even stripes) I am really happy with this mani. The Uberchic striper brush is really easy to use and can do really fine details. I did have to do thicker stripes because I made a bit of a boo boo on the first nail so needed to even it all out.
I do really like the details on the brush itself. They make it look really pretty, and I like that it comes with a cap to help protect the brush.
The Striper Brush is available now from
Uberchic Beauty.
I completely and utterly suck at freehand or anything to do with a brush so I feel your pain and I think those stripes are incredible. I don't think I have ever done rainbow stripes but now I really really want to! This looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Freehand is definitely one of those things that just need practice. A few years back when I was trying out freehand I did see an improvement, but then I stopped. Stamping is definitely more my style :)
DeleteI really like this. And it's very brave of you to freehand stripes... I wouldn't even dare :D
ReplyDeleteThank you. A few years ago I did dabble in freehand (I wasn't the best at it but I definitely improved over the time). It was fun to do some more freehand stuff again, but I will be sticking to my stamping plates :)
