Hello, Fireflies!
Last Tri-polish Tuesday for March, and I'm celebrating with a watercolor holo design. I started off with Different Dimensions Good Evening Clarice, a sheer mint-green with a subtle holo. If you like holos, you should check out this Indie. She makes some of my faves.
I placed random blobs of Nabi Sky Blue over that. Nabi holos aren't very strong, but I think they are so pretty. Sky Blue has a gorgeous color to it.
Nabi Deep Purple went on over that. What a gorgeous royal purple. I've never seen Nabi in stores around me, but there are a couple of sellers on Ebay that sell pick-your-own-color collections, which is how I got mine.
I dabbed on a little more of the green, and then added topcoat to blend everything together.
Bottle Shot: Different Dimensions Good Evening Clarice, and Nabi Sky Blue and Dark Purple.
I like to switch up between really defined nail art patterns, and something more random, like this. What's your favorite type of nail art?
It looks great and its always fun to experiment. Most of my nail art is actually on the spot and not really planned.
ReplyDeleteI usually start with a base color I like, and then look at pix of other nail art to find inspiration. Some, like the one I have for tomorrow's post, are made up as I go along! I wish I could do unplanned nail art as good as yours!
DeleteI love how that looks like its one shade fading in and out!!
ReplyDeletethanks! The nice things about using a sheer color like the green is getting that effect.
DeleteI saw the Leaning Tower of Pisa and Waikiki, LOL! Great simple mani, I think I can do it ;-)
ReplyDeleteLOL! I think you were looking at Waikiki out your window, no? Yeah, this is a great, simple mani. If you do it, I hope you'll share the pix on my FB! I'm rooting for you!
DeleteI like the finished result a lot :)
ReplyDeleteI bet it would be exquisite done with some of your Chanels! *faint*
DeleteThe Nabi holos are gorgeous! Yes, I think I see the Eiffel Tower! lol
ReplyDeleteThey really are quite pretty, especially for the price. Jade polishes are a little more expensive, but are my fave bang-for-the-buck linears (and Color Club, too!) Scattered holos have a lot of depth to them that I love. I do a great abstract Eiffel Tower, don't I? lol
DeleteGorgeous as usual. I love those three shades together. Amazing!!
ReplyDeleteWhy, thank you! I'ma blush. This is like a 'company dinner' you have ready to go - looks great, is easy, but everyone thinks you slaved over it for hours.
DeleteVery cute! I like the colors you picked!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Well, the challenge dictated the colors.. and it's harder than I thought to keep coming up with manis using three particular colors. Last year, they had to use the same three polishes all month! Level difficulty: extreme.
DeleteDifferent Dimension always knocks it out of the park! So pretty!
ReplyDeleteI can not sing her praises enough. Just Keep Swimming and Dueling Unicorns are my latest faves of hers.
DeleteThis is pretty cool. I don't own either brand.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely watercolor effect
ReplyDeleteVery interesting manicure! Love the result!
ReplyDeletePretty! I love the colorway
ReplyDeletePerfect color combo!
ReplyDeleteLove this manicure!!
ReplyDeleteI'm a holo junkie. I still need to try these.
ReplyDeleteEthereal reality!!! Sorta spiritual and spacey.
ReplyDeleteSuch a cool effect!
ReplyDeletePretty! Almost looks like you created your own duochrome
ReplyDeleteOh wow, this mani is just magical :) Well done!
ReplyDeletewoooo cosmic!
ReplyDeleteVery cool! I love holos.
ReplyDeleteI like how it all blends evenly
ReplyDeleteThat is a very interesting design.
