Nothing to Disclose
Hello lovelies! Here we are at day 2, and my mani today is a bit of a holdover from Hallowe'en.
Let's be honest here: did YOU have any idea what was going on if not for the title of this post?
DISTAL PHALANGES, Y'ALL. I started this with two coats of Camelot, then dabbed on the circles with watered-down White On and a cotton bud. I then painted on the main bone bits with White On, and used the watercolour technique to sort of moosh the polish around.
I should have gone to find some face paint and painted my whole fingers. That'd have been awesome! And would have contextualized these quite nicely.
Polishes used:
Sally Hansen - White On
butter LONDON - Nail Foundation (base coat)
la couleur couture - 2013 (top coat)
pure acetone for the watercolour technique
one-stroke brush
cotton bud
I'm going to put this out there now: tomorrow's mani is my least favourite, by far. That's why it's going on Hump Day. So, uh, brace yourselves, I guess?
xo,
J.

ReplyDeleteI have no idea, either! It's probably because I wasn't trying. Murphy's Law. And thank you!!
ReplyDeleteKnow what? I wouldn't have found out what this was hadn't there been a title to this post, but once you cleared that one away, can I just say: freakin' awesome idea!?!?!?
ReplyDeleteHow cool is this for a mani?! And I think you managed beautifully with the effect: spot on, darling! :D
Haha, thanks sweetheart! My boyfriend was Majorly Confused until I explained myself, so I figured that most people would be in the same boat.
ReplyDeleteI can't get over how fabulous this concept is! It's so freakin' cool!!! Holy cow. I love that it's abstract enough that it could be anything you wanted, but when you know what it is, it immediately clicks. So so good!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Lindsey!!
ReplyDeleteThis is so awesome I still can't get over it. I'm inspired to try x-ray nails, and if I do I'll credit you of course. :)
ReplyDeleteI would love to see your rendition, you'll be awesome at them!
