Flaky, Fancy Clouds! And A Contest..

In Cult Nails, Finger Paints, Nails, OPI by Jacki15 Comments

Good morning readers! Surprised for a post the day after the last one? Me, too! It was a rainy day around here yesterday and I couldn’t help brainstorming about more mani ideas and decided to try something new sooner than expected!

I saw these “fancy clouds” yesterday on Nailside and thought it would be a fun design to try! Here’s a tip that I learned the hard way, use one coaters or its very thick and easy to smudge by the end of adding all of the colors. haha. It wasn’t too hard, but since I used some OPI polishes with the pro-wide brush, it wasn’t super easy to make the “bumps” for the layers.

Since all 3 colors are similar to one another, it ended up being more of a subtle design that still got to showcase the new Finger Paints Special Effect I got recently! Next time, I’ll do more contrasting colors, but I knew I wanted to do darker colors so you could appreciate the flakies.

I used:
Base Coat of OPI Base Coat for Natural Nails
2 Coats of OPI Roadhouse Blues
OPI Dating A Royal and
Sinful Colors Black on Black for the cloud layers
1 coat of Finger Paints Motley
Top coat of Poshe.

A close up so you can see the gorgeous purple and teal flakes in the Finger Paints top coat!
What do you think? I love the different color flakies!!
Also, I recently entered the Cult Nails Nail Art Contest on Facebook and wanted to share my entry link with you in case you wanted to vote for me! You just have to “LIKE” my photo in their contest photo album for a vote.

    Love the clouds!!! I did this using white and light blue on a dark blue to make it look like snow! I love these darker blues because it looks like a night sky and I LOVE the use of the flakies!
