Shatter series

I Chose a lighter base (silver and white)



Then blue over! Amazing!! Once it dries, its shatters!! How?? Curious over the chemistry..



Anyway, its really not that simple. that was my 2nd attempt over 10 nails. Also tested the different base colours. Thre pressure, the strokes, the speed..

Catch the different brilliant colours.

and line with silver L-shape at the side and bottom.



Any flowers stickers. I like 3D popoed up effect. and they tend to stay longer too:)

Apply a base coat, paste the stickers with tweezers, press down gently (especially at the edges!!)

Coat with gloss.

How to: Stripes

Animal Stripes:

A small advise would be to start doing this on toes as they have a larger surface area to practice on. You can start with any background and a white/black thin brush polish.


Focusing on the big toes :P start from any side. Press down the white brush and slide horizontally. U can adjust the length but anywher past the middle would be good. As u slide, lift up the brush a little (for lesser pressure) so as to create the taper effect.

Continue on alternate sides.



After that, if space allow, from the root( thickest side) draw another smaller taper creating a V-shape.

Done:)

Stripes are fun and have no restrictions, here's another way for fingers:








On a sad note, even though the orange base looks fresh and bright (Photo is a little dull), but i couldnt help missing my pink.


So this stripes only managed to stay on my fingers for a day :(



A lot of these vieos are available on youtube if u need clearer instructions :) I'm merely trying out on my own and posting on this blog
