If you can't have a duochrome, have a polish with a heavy shimmer. It's almost the same... well, kinda. CrowsToes Me and This Army is a greyed-out Army green with a heavy purple shimmer. I love this combo!
I didn't expect it to be this sheer, though! This was 3 to 4 coats, and you can still see nail line. That will never dry on me. If I use it again, I'll try it layered over a grey or dark green.
Ok, I know that yesterday was the end of the tutorial challenge.. but it will never end for me! bwahaha! I used Chalkboard Nails' Sheep Tutorial for this nailart.
It kinda looks like I'm drawing noses when I start out.
Then, I use a dotting tool and Milani White On The Spot to add a big, fluffy ball of cotton candy on top of the two sticks. Like a weird popsicle.
The same dotting tool goes first into Wet 'n Wild Black Creme, and then into the Milani White for the eyes. Ghost cotton candy!
A little taupe from Nikka K NY112 for the ears, and OPI Pussy Galore for the noses. I had a little trouble with the noses. One sheep looks like a fluffy pig. Another, more like a cat.
A little topcoat to smooth it all out, and the shimmer comes out to play, too.

This isn't a fail - it's a multi-purpose tutorial. You can use it to either make Cotton Candy Ghosts, Fluffy Pigs, or Sheep. Everyone loves a multi-tasker.
The sheep are so cute and fluffy!

ReplyDeletehaha..baaaa? lol
DeleteThose little lambies are adorable. How often do you redo your nails?
ReplyDeleteEmbarrassingly often. I actually enjoy the actual painting.. and the picking off of the polish more than I enjoy wearing it. Some days, I won't have anything on, and some days I'll do several manis in a row.
DeleteHow cute!! I love it.....you are so creative!
ReplyDeleteI'm actually not that creative, but I love getting inspiration from nail artists that are!
DeleteAww they are so cute
