Nail art #6

Lamest title ever, but I really didn't know what to call this post :/.

I tried my hand at some nail art over the weekend and am pretty satisfied with the end result :). The design was inspired by this photo, but I decided to choose a lighter colour since I've been wearing some rather pigmented polishes lately.

Polishes used:

Sportsgirl - Baby Elephant
Glossyblossom Two-way nail art - #S08 (white) and #S03 (purple shimmer)
dots and stripes

I applied two coats of Baby Elephant as a base for my third and fifth fingers. (I think my bottle is getting a bit old, the polish was noticeably thicker this time round compared to the last.) This polish is a lovely greyed out light purple, with shimmer throughout to give it an overall gorgeous look. You can see the amount of shimmer there is in the polish in the bottle! I then used my striper to apply the white stripes. For my first and fourth fingers, I freehanded a french tip with Baby Elephant (again, two coats), then added the purple strip to 'neaten' out the look. I made use of my dotting tools to apply the dots, again, using the white polish from the striper polish. I really love the end result :).

Thanks for dropping by!

  1. Baby Elephant is a very nice neutral grey, I really like it! Haha... I think I have to put it on my list of "things to buy in Australia" XD
