Watercolor nails

Hello lovely people!

Yesterday I tried a new to me technique after seeing it used by Chalkboard Nails. Water color nails!
The effect is made by using acetone to thin out the spots of polish on your nails, creating the watercolor effect.

For a good tutorial visit www.imabeautygeek.com

Mine turned out a bit sportier than I had intended, but I quite like the result.

And a here is a closeup.

The colors I used were:

White: Sally Hansen White Out

Pink: Sally Hansen Coral Reef

Purple: BC Co. Shade 6

Green: Sinful Colors San Fransisco

Blue: E.L.F (What I believe is) Metallic Blue.

Over all I quite like this look.... I am curious what effects could be acheived with it.

Have you used his technique? What was your result like? I'd love to hear your opinions.

Where have I been??

Greetings my dears!!

It has been a long time! Allow me to explain...

Just after creating my new blog etc I found myself ill on and off, leaving little time to post. When I finally felt well enough I ran into more issues.

After logging in I found that google wasn't displaying any blogs under my user name... You can imagine my frustration.

After trying and trying to work out why I basically gave up and decided to switch to Wordpress.

In the mean time I stuck to posting on instagram. You can find me at @ladybirdlacquer.

I spent more time than I care to mention this morning trying to get a blog there to look the way I wanted.

After giving up for the time being I logged into google... This is where it gets REALLY frustrating...

Somehow blogger/google had found my blog again!

Don't ask me how or why!

But now... I AM BACK! And I promise to be more active, between crazy kids and health drama :)

I don't have a lot to post right now, as I said, I had basically given up hope.

So I wil leave you with my current mani.

This one surprised me. I don't really like pink very much, but I felt like something different.

I started with a gradient using BYS Scented Pink and China Glaze Limbo Bimbo. Then I topped it with 1 thin coat of L.A Girl Uninhibited.

It reminds me of some kind of flower, but I cannot think of what... But I love it!!!

While I try and get back into the swing of blogging I will continue to post on instagram.

Until next time my dears, be well,

Eboni :)
