Nothing to Disclose
Hello lovelies!
TWO POSTS IN ONE DAY! I was so chuffed after my last post that I immediately took to Google and found something else vintage-y to produce for you!
This was inspired by this polka dot pattern I found on DeviantArt. I started with a base of Rue (which took three coats to opacity, and was mysteriously sort of lumpy?), and then did dots with Crescent Heights, Where Did Suzi's Man-Go?, and Blowing Raspberries.
After that, I did two coats of top coat to protect the base, and did the 'watercolour' technique with Chelsea Physic Garden and Moody Blues. I then sealed everything in another coat of top coat. And then bumped my index and thumb badly while opening a bottle of wine. (This is, in a nutshell, everything you need to know about me.)
Polishes used:
Zoya - Rue
American Apparel - Crescent Heights
OPI - Where Did Suzi's Man-Go?
butter LONDON - Blowing Raspberries
nails inc. - Chelsea Physic Garden
Duri - Rejuvacote (base coat)
Glisten & Glow - HK Girl (top coat)
dotting tool
square brush for 'watercolouring'
I like this effect, it's like a kind of verdigris... I look forward to doing it over more complicated patterns, probably using jellies next time for optimal ageing.
AND I FINISHED! AND IN THE MONTH OF FEBRUARY! I'm so pleased. Thank you, Dionysus, for all that you do.
xo,
J.
