Sally Hansen Lustre Shine in Firefly. I like thinking of my followers as 'Fireflies' because, ya know, we're Lit From Within, and so are fireflies? Get it? I knew you would.
This is a pretty little copper/gold/pink multichrome. I like it when drugstore brands start catching up to the trends we like in Indies.
I got these little craft scissors in the scrapbooking section of Target. I know there are lots of different kinds, with many different cuts. This one makes a wavy line. I just cut both sides of the tape to have the wavy pattern offset.
I only cut one piece of tape, and then used it for each nail. I would put the tape in the center, and then paint the top part of the nail with L'Oreal Royally Yours, and the bottom half with Essie Avenue Maintain.
The L'Oreal probably wasn't the best choice for this nail art, as pastels tend to be finicky, and in order to get adequate coverage, I had to lay it on thickly.. which distorted the nail art. The Essie was perfection. Using topcoat did help to smooth down the polish. This is one coat of Seche Vite.
Here's the bottle shot! L'Oreal Royally Yours, Sally Hansen Firefly, and Essie Avenue Maintain.
Is it worth getting some craft scissors to make a curvy mani like this one? Would you rather do it freehand?
