Hey y'all! So I recently saw THIS video from@Laqvid (Instagram) for a gorgeous mani & was kinda inspired. I, of course, went with different colors and techniques, but I wanted to share the inspiration for this because she does some beautiful work.
If you saw this recent instagram post, you'll know kinda how I did this.
I used my Uber Chic Beauty Mat and made some decals. I had to let them dry overnight, though when I did a few the next day I just waited a few hours and it was fine.
For the decal I used all China Glaze shades....First Mate, I Sea The Point, DJ Blue My Mind, and Rain Dance The Night Away.
I used Laqvid's method of putting the polishes down, but then I used a tiny nail art brush to randomly swirl it all around. It was a little difficult to apply the decals due to my nail shape, but I used a silicone tool from BPS and it wasn't so bad. The ones that had dried longer were more annoying than the fresher ones.
For the accent nails, I wasn't sure what I wanted to do. Originally I thought ombre, but once I applied Rain Dance The Night Away it was really too pretty to mess with. So I just pulled out my unused bottle of Sephora by OPI Real 18k Gold top coat out & brushed a layer on, then dabbed more on with a makeup sponge.
I really like how it turned out and definitely plan to do more of these in the future as it's way easier for me than trying to water marble.
I just did these 2 days ago and I definitely do NOT want to ever remove them.
They turned out pretty amazing.
