Hey hey! It's Artsy Wednesday again! This time the theme is blue nails, and here's what my design looks like in the sun:
I first painted my nails with ulta3 Blue Marlin (medium blue creme) on the right, and a franken I made from Spring Shower and a few drops of black on the left. Then I taped a zigzag and painted it with China Glaze DV8, a gorgeous teal linear holo which the lovely Alanna from Pretty Purple Polish bought for me :) I finished with a coat of Poshe topcoat. In the shade:

This looks great! :) DV8 is sooo pretty! Can't wait to use it. I swatched my Ulta3's Cocoa was a surprise favourite for me.
ReplyDeleteDV8 is amazing! :) What a coincidence, I'm wearing Cocoa right now... it's pretty and elegant, but now the sun's come out and I wish I went for TMI like I originally planned!

Deletesoo nice!!! love the blue and the zigzag!!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteHell yeah - so freakin cool! I would totally wear something like that :D
ReplyDeleteI love geometric designs! I think the taping was actually unnecessary, next time I'm just going to wing it lol! Taing takes forever :(
DeleteThis is an AWESOME way to use holo polishes!
ReplyDeleteI was surprised by how well the holo effect turned out, I was worried that the zigzag would be too small to see the rainbow, but it worked out :)
DeleteThis is so beautiful! I freakin' LOVE blue, and this design is so cool! :D
ReplyDeleteThanks! DV8 is so awesome, can't wait to do a full mani with it!
DeleteOh, so fresh, spring-y, crisp and delicious - very, very nice :)
ReplyDeleteHaha - but it's late summer/early autumn here! More of a late summer, I'm-missing-the-beach mani :)
DeleteWow, this is totally rad! I love the holo in the middle!
ReplyDeleteThanks! It didn't quite turn out how I wanted it to, but I still love it!
DeleteThese are fantastic! :) Well done x
ReplyDeleteThanks! :)
DeleteI loooove this! That zig zag looks awesome! And anything holo makes me drool! Dv8 is going on my Wishlist!!
ReplyDeleteHolo is awesome! I have holo on today as well but the sun is gone so it's blah :(
DeleteLove this look! DV8 is amazing ♥
ReplyDeleteIt is! I'm such a big fan of DV8, I think it's my favourite out of the holos I own!
DeleteLove it! So pretty.
ReplyDeleteThanks! The colours are really nice, <3 CG and ulta3!
Deleteit looks amazing, something like this I could wear everyday :D
ReplyDeleteThanks! I got a lot of nice comments on it from people I bumped into, I wore it for 3 days which is quite long for me! :)
Deletei really need to try taping but i am scared i'll mess it up. this looks amazing! x
ReplyDeleteIt's a lot simpler than you'd think! Just make sure the bottom layer is dry, there aren't any gaps in the bits stuck down, and you peel off the tape quickly - that's it!
DeleteGreat job :))
ReplyDeleteThanks!
