Loudest Colour

To prep for the practical portion of my final exams, I borrowed Sam's paws to practise my hand at acrylic application. Since she was such an awesome sport, she got some free nail art.

Sam is fond of bright colours, and so she naturally went for the neons in my collection. The base colour here is "Loudest Colour" with stripes and splatters done in "Miss Emo Shun All" both are by Sation, a brand by Miss Professional Nail. "Loudest Colour" is a traffic-stopping bright neon yellow-green, with "Miss Emo Shun All" being a beautiful deep yet sill bright purple.

Here we have "Up All Night" by China Glaze. It's a beautiful navy shade, I added some hand painted gold roses for some fanciness.

Glittery Hearts

I love this ombre design. The reason is probably not why you think. I'll fill you in on how I did it down below :)

Close up of the thumb nail.

So, I know that last mani was also an ombre, but the technique I used this time was a tad different. I didn't try sponging it on, no no, I used acrylic paint on these paws. Yes, that's right, there is no actual nail polish here except for the Base Coat, and the Top Coat. All the rest is regular craft store acrylic paint, blended to create a beautiful gradient effect. So the paints I used were a basic green mixed with white to get the mint, and red, yellow and white for the pastel orange. The little glitter paillets came out of my bottle of "Synergy" from L.A. Girl.

I hope you enjoy this different take on an ombre mani!

More old stuff. All the designs are hand-painted using acrylic paint.
