FF: Glitters

Friday Fingers

Yes, glitters is the theme for this week FF.
I know most you nail art/polish addict keep a bottle (or more) of glitter polish. I do too. But the ones that I currently have are mostly normal round shape glitters. I'm eager waiting for that day when I can finally own pretty glitters that come with different shapes i.e. hex shape, star shape.

I admit, I love looking at glitter polishes but dislike the mess that needed to be cleaned up post painting. Albeit having tips on how to clean up on glitters, I still find glitter nail polish is a tough one to deal with. How about you?

Here's my version of glittery nail art.
I did a gradient combo of two colors before I added some glitters on it.

I'm in love with this mani that I took lotsa of photos of them. I even thinking of letting them stay for a few days. Will think how am I going to hide my nails from my kids. :)

Giraffe on my nails!

I have never seen a giraffe in real life before. Not that I fancy giraffe much but I do find giraffe's skin pattern interesting. That coming from a person who loves any shades of brown :)

So yeah, I decided to do giraffe skin patten on me nails for this week FF.

I wanted to use the brown polish that I'm holding to draw the brown patches. But it dries very quick and so painting gets difficult. I don't have dark brown acrylic paint as well but much thanks to Art class, I was able to get dark brown color by mixing red, yellow and blue. But I did the mixing separately for each nail. Hence, the different shade of brown. Still, I feel satisfied about it.

Here's a photo of what I did earlier. It isn't my final animal print nail art cos I was actually trying first hand on giraffe print. I love how it turned out though. Might do the rest of the nails tomorrow.

By the way, I'd like to convey my sincere appreciation to Michelle for linking up for the FF: Ikat inspired theme...and also to Ngiau and Vera for posting their ikat inspired nail art on Instagram. Appreciate the support girls.

Green Ikat inspired nail art

I made another Ikat inspired for my FF: Ikat Inspired theme. I wanted a darker background and also wanted to try the new shade of OPI green I bought recently.

I love this green shade Don't Mess with OPI. And it's creme finish and I just love creme finish polish.

Below are the ikat nail art in green I made. I think I went too much with black on the ring finger and it doesn't look so naturally ikat. In fact, my right nails are much better done than this. Ha!

I purposely left two nails unpainted cos I prefer to show off the beauty of this base color. ^_^


What do you think?
