Whilst my nails were in a horrendous state I still bought nail polishes and one of those was the most gorgeous mint green holo from Lilypadlaquer called My Enchantmint from Sally Magpies (run don't walk she has all manner of indie goodies). Now that I have lush long (fake) nails I busted this out last night to do a skittle that I'd had in mind for a while now.
In addition to my new love I also used Emily de Molly's Copper fields, Rimmel's Sky High and Kiko 381. Top and tailed by Rejuvicote base coat and Seche Vite quick dry top coat.
Lookie what came out:
I used dotting tools, striping tape and scotch tape cut with craft scissors for the thumb, index and pinkie finger. The middle finger is free handed using a tutorial by the inestimable Crumpet which can be found here. Mine aren't as good as hers (obviously) but I hopefully will get better with practice.
And I just wanted to draw your attention to my ring finger:
This was simply My Enchantmint topped with a coat of Copper Fields from Emily de Molly. Which is my absolute favourite glitter topper of all time - it's the one that got me into glitters in a big way. Just look at those gorgeous ladies together. This photo whilst pretty does not do them justice at all - you should see them in the sunlight or even in person.
I also made a decal last night so that might feature in my next post.
See you soon!
