A girlfriend commented that my last manicure reminded her of waves more than of clouds and suddenly my mind went into obsession-mode. I couldn't stop thinking about how freaking pretty that would be! So, I busted out my sponges and fan brush and got to work. The result is something that I'm disappointed doesn't capture completely on camera. I
love this look!
I started with a layer or two of OPI Nail Envy then sponged a layer of LA Colors BCC 656 (white) onto the nail from
the tip to about 3 quarters down. Next came
a layer of grey (Sinful Colors Slate) that was sponged down about
halfway down the nail. Sinful Colors Mint Apple was sponged throughout
the grey and a little further into the white. I repeated the colors
(white, grey, green) until I'd built up enough color that it was opaque
but had maintained the white at the bottom to look like the wave touching shore. I came in
with a fan brush and Orly Sparkling Garbage to dab in some glitter
without covering up the detail before topping each nail with 2 coats of Seche Vite.
Normally, I don't prefer individual finger pictures but I couldn't get my camera to cooperate to show you the detail without it. Sorry!
