Today I was in the fabric store and saw this super pretty aqua-metallic looking tulle, and I knew that I had to get it and try something one my nails with it. The result is a lot more 'girly' than most of my nail art, but I still kinda dig it. I doubt the crystals will last the rest of the night before I pick them off though. I wish I could have the sparkle of crystals/gems without the sticking off the nails part. :-P
I used MAC Rich, Dark, Delicious, which I just rediscovered recently in my Helmer as a base, with Orly Gumdrop for the dots and behind the crystals. I applied the tulle over a few dabs of Seche Vite top coat instead of using it on the whole nail because it made the tulle blend into the nail too much and took away its color. :)
Can you please do nail polish on your toes.

P.S. I like the way you used the polka dots with the tulle to create this design. :)
This is so hot!!
ReplyDeletefoil, glitters, and metallic polish can give the crystal-like effect without the 3rd dimension
ReplyDeleteWow - those are absolutely wonderful!! I love the ones that you've done w/ the rhinestones recently, but I'd probably be tempted to pick them off as well if there were that many on my nails!
ReplyDeleteThis is really cute. I always pick at gems too...my baby cousin will pick at them as well. It's just so tempting.
ReplyDeleteuber adorable, love the color combo. Also, you should totally be working for OPI naming polishes, I love the titles for your entries.

Love this design reminds me of Peach on Project Runway. I totally understand where your coming from on the gems. I tend to rub them constantly.
ReplyDeleteFor some reason this reminds me of a very fancy hatbox. I love it. There is simply not enough tulle used in the world.
