I'm not very pleased with how this manicure turned out, but I decided to post it anyway. I used Sinful Gorgeous as a base, which is a lovely aqua metallic. As you know, metallics show brushstrokes, and that was the case with this one, too. Gorgeous is said to be a dupe for $OPI Mermaid To Order and Sally Hansen Lagoon, but I don't have either of them to compare.
I have some complaints about the Sinful formula. It just doesn't dry. If I accidentaly touch the surface during application (at a time when it should have been moderately dry), it lifts completely off instead of getting wrinkly and rough, removing the base coat along with it. It's frustrating, especially when you're hurrying to go out like I did. Oh, and the application was not impressive at all. I love the color, though, and it makes up for the bad aspects.
For the stamping, I made some pink dots on the nails, and then stamped on top of them using special polish in black and plate m76. Looks kinda pretty =)
I want to do some Tartofraises style nail art. Her last manicure blew my mind!
Sinful'un formülünden biraz şikayetçiyim. Resmen kurumak bilmiyor. Eğer sürerken yanlışlıkla değerseniz, en alt kata kadar komple siliniyor o bölge. Rötuşlamak çok zor o yüzden. Ben bir de sözde acele ediyordum bu ojeyi sürerken, iki kere baştan başlamak zorunda kaldım. İnat değil mi... Bu ojeyi kurtaran tek şey harika rengi oldu benim için.
Tırnaklarımın üzerine pembe noktalar koydum, sonra da m76 diski ve siyah oje kullanarak çiçek desenleri yaptım. Tatlı oldu =)
I think it worked out very well :) and omg what a lovely website! So much ideas, so little time ^^
ReplyDeleteI definately like how the pink doesn't match up with the black flowers all the way =]
ReplyDeleteIt's better than anything I could ever make! I really like it.
ReplyDeleteThat is so pretty! I like the color combo :D
ReplyDeletethank you guys =) haha, absolutely =) the colors have nothing to do with each other! =D
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty! I like how you did the pink dot first and THEN stamped. :) I loved Tartofraises last mani too, she makes freehand art look so friggin easy.
ReplyDeleteomg this is so pretty
ReplyDeletegorgeous! i want to try this!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love this! You know that style of graphic design that has the coloring just slightly off from the outline, like a little bit over on one side and not quite touching the outline on the other? I love that stuff. This totally reminds me of that. I'm going to try it.
