Hobby Polish Blogger Challenge - 3D



Let's go back..back..back in time to last week, when I was supposed to do a 3-D mani instead of the neon one I did.

OPI I'm Not Really A Waitress.

This is a polish that I've wanted to try for a long time, but just hadn't found a good price for a bottle of it.  It's OPI I'm Not Really A Waitress.  My fave OPI Red is SoHo Nice To Meet You (one of the few bottles I've almost finished!) and this is pretty close, though not a dupe for it.

For my 3-D effect, I decided to use tiny black studs on a rounded diagonal.  I think the studs came from Born Pretty Store.

I love how this came out - a little pretty, and a little badass.  These were not easy for me to work with!  A lot of them were stuck together, and, even after getting them apart, they wanted to stick to the dotting tool I used to apply them, and not my nail.

I'd do it again, though.  It's probably easier to just use polish and a dotting tool, but these are pretty cool looking.  Would you go through the trouble of positioning studs, or just use a dotting tool and black polish?

    1. Thanks, Lisa! Luckily, they are not expensive, but sometimes they take a while to get here from China. I like BornPrettyStore and DollarNailArt and KKCenterHK for a lot of my nail stuff.

  2. I love this combination! I would go through the trouble because I think studs give you an awesome effect you don't get with dots :)

Thank you for your comments! They mean so much to me, and I read all of them, even if I don't always have a chance to respond.
