Clouds! As I said yesterday, blue is my favourite colour and a few years ago my room was painted blue and I had full intentions of painting clouds onto them but I just couldn't see it working out, so here's some clouds on my blue nails.
I painted my nails with two coats of Models Own - Feeling Blue (I only have four Models Own polishes from when they're shipping to Australia wasn't the approximate $60 dollars it is now so I might never have anymore even though they're quite decent). I then used a dotting tool to make cloud-like shapes and while it was still wet, dropped some white flocking powder on it using tweezers. I wasn't going to use flocking powder until I realised it'd make them look fluffy like real clouds, so I'm happy with my choice.
I'm finally happy with one of the designs I've done so far in the challenge. I knew blue wouldn't let me down!
I will admit though, it did take me a few goes to get the cloud shape right, that's why there's only one on the ring finger because it was the second one after the thumb (which I didn't even take a photo of, oops).
Tomorrow is purple and I have a good feeling about that colour too!
Yesterday I went to high tea! It was really fun and the food was excellent! This was the mani I wore after two failed attempts at other ideas. I like how it turned out though and it was very simple, even if it is a bit mismatched.
The colours I used were:
Accent nail: Hottie - Sinful Colors (I feel uncomfortable referring to a nail polish as 'hottie' but it's a brilliant colour)
All other nails: Azure Martini - Savvy by DB
The flocking powder was from an ebay store that came with 11 other colours.
Overall I'm happy with this mani, I really wanted to involve the flocking powder because I hadn't ever used it properly, just tested it's wear for a day, so I'm glad I used it.
