Today I have the mani I did last night to share with you. Ever since Tam (ohmygoshpolish) posted her bubble nail art on her IG, I had been dying to try it. Well, I finally did! Her method uses a polish base and watered down acrylic paints to make the bubble effect, which I must say, requires some patience. She posted a video tutorial on her YouTube that I watched before I started.
For this I used a base of Essie Blanc and the other nails are about seven coats of Sinful Colors Gemtastic for opacity of the glitter topper. The paints I used are made by Reeves, two are acrylics (Medium Green and Blue Lake) and two are watercolors (Ultramarine and Viridian Hue). The acrylics definitely worked better; the watercolors wanted to bead up on my nail instead of go on like paint (thanks, Seche Vite!).
I am only sort of pleased with how these came out, I will definitely be trying this technique again soon! I was going for an ocean-y look.
Anyway, that's all I have for you for today. Hope you think this look is as unique as I do!! (:
Ciao for now!
