Hello everyone!
Today I'm showing you my entry to the "Stripes" day of the challenge!
I'm very late, & sorry, because I've been doing several craft projects this week and I had no time (and clean hands!) to do my nails! No my projects are over but I'll make a post to show you what I've done ;)
For today's challenge, I wanted to do serape inspired nails! These are the mexican blankets you might have seen before. This kind of pattern always make me think about Peru, and Peru makes me think about one of my favorite animals: Llama! So I wanted to give a try, I hope it does look like a llama!
Today was also my first try at one stroke and it was a success, I was really proud of my mani... before my topcoat! :( It made the paint crackle...
I started with ONE coat of China Glaze - Adventure Red-Y.
All the stripes are done with gouache paint, but the llama is done (in order from darkest to brightest) with E.Pinaud - Chocolat, China Glaze - Desert Sun and China Glaze - Kahalari Kiss.
What do you think?

Have a great day! <3

ReplyDeleteAlso do you have an email address I can contact you on?
Thank you for your lovely comment! :)

I think it's awesome, even with the cracking. It just makes it look like an antique weathered blanket rather than a shiny crisp new one! :)

DeleteAlso, I have to agree - that llama is adorable. ::grin::
ReplyDeleteThank you! :)
DeleteLa classe ! J'aime trop le lama ^^
ReplyDeletePour le côté craqué ça donne un style, je pensais avant de lire l'article que c'était volontaire :)

DeleteI LOVE the cracks actually - it gives this whole manicure a truly rustic look. Just adore that llama!!!
ReplyDeleteoh thank you! I'm still wondering why it crackled lol but I'm happy you like it! :D
DeleteAs Mommy Does - I really like this mani because of the cracks, not in spite of them.
ReplyDeleteThank you you're really kind! :)
