Oooh I have such a crappy day today, no real reason, just feeling ever so, ever so blah! On the plus side I did have an afternoon nap, and I have some sparkly gorgeousness to share with you for today's challemge... I had sooo many pretty ideas to choose from on my Pinterest's 'Nailspiration' board! But I think the one I chose as inspiration for this mani is at the top of my favourites at the moment so I knew in my heart of hearts it had to be...
This was so simple... Two coats of a silver holo glitterbomb for the base followed by blobbing on each of my sheer tints in any old random fashion, encouraging it into place where needed with the brush. I did this twice to really bring out the colours and then finished with topcoat.
I don't know about you guys but whenever I have a nailspiration to go on, I get so nervous that it's just not going to live up to my shiny expectations, but this one did not disappoint me! Phew! I love it lots, the magpie in me is flapping with all the pretty colours and glittering goodness.
This is the beauty from ermahgerdperlish that was my inspiration! My colours are different of course but the effect is just the same. I'm thinking that I may need to make a few of my own tints in a range of colours so I can do lots of different varieties, will also be handy for more lead-lighting!

So gorgeous! And it's nice to read a post from someone who actually likes the sheer tints--I think they got a bad rap.
ReplyDeleteThanks lovely, I didn't want to take this mani off! I agree they did, I've no idea why because I love them! And I'm not even an OPI fan in general :)
DeleteSo, so pretty! With the glitter showing through it looks like a galaxy!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Monica! It is like staring into space :) x
