Fancy Friday #130 – Texture gradient

Happy friday. Todays theme is texture gradient. The last time I did a texture gradient was back in April for the challenge. I looked through my untried texture polishes and found two that became my inspiration for todays nail art.

I started with three coats of OPI Diva of Geneva on my thumb, index and pinky nails, and two coats of the same polish on my middle and ring finger, just to have a base for the gradient. After letting that dry I applied liquid latex around my nails to protect my skin from the gradient. I used Kiko 454 Wine and Kiko 645 Burgundy for the gradient and sponged it on three times.

I looked through my stamping plates and found MoYou London Fashionista 07. I stamped using Barry M Gold Foil and my MoYou London Sticky XL Stamper. I didn’t quite get it centered on the nails, but I’m still working out how to stamp precisely on the nails. I left my pinky blank to create a skittlette. It really reminds me of fall and turning leaves. I love burgundy purples for fall. Click by the link in the bottom to see what the other ladies have come up with.

 

I dag er temaet tekstur gradient. Jeg lod mine to gradient farve inspirerer resten af nail arten. Det minder mig virkelig om bladende der skrifter farve. Husk at klikke forbi de andre for at se hvad de har fundet på.

Fancy Friday #128 – Inspired by nature

Happy friday. Todays theme is inspired by nature, which I took as fall because it is full on fall outside now in Denmark, cold, cloudy and windy – I miss summer.

The only good thing about fall is that I’m totally in the mood for dark colors on my nails. I started with three coats of OPI Mrs. O’Leary’s BBQ, such a great fall color, get it if you don’t already have it. On my pinky I have four coats of Orly Bling.

After the polish dried I stamped with Barry M Gold Foil and Bundle Monster BM XL13. I used the same stamp last year in a different fall manicure, but it turned out much better this time. I think the base competed a little bit too much for the attention last time. I can’t believe I had the OPI polish for two years without using it, it is so pretty. Also Orly Bling is seriously so holographic I keep staring at it. Remember to click by the other ladies to see what they have done for today.

I dag er temaet skov og natur. Jeg har tolket det som efterår og stampet nogle blade på mine negle Min base er OPI Mrs. O’Leary’s BBQ, som lige pt er min ultimative efterårsfarve, så mørk og flot. Husk at klikke forbi de andre for at se hvad de har lavet.
