I have been so excited about this challenge! I think it is because I took such a long break from nail art with the faves. Nice to take a break, but even better to get back to it! Today is Achromatic, which means without color. Technically, I guess tan is a color, but I consider it achromatic compared to the rest of the rainbow. I'm probably wrong, but it's my blog, right?
So I thought this would look really cool, but I think it looks a little diseased (tee hee). I still like it!
I started with a gradient of Contrary Polish Hayride, Barry M Lychee and China Glaze Dandy Lyin Around. Lychee is so highly pigmented that it kind of took over, but I added some more Hayride after taking this pic.
Next I stamped with Konad Special White and BM-02.
Finally I added dots with Zoya Godiva. I layered the dots a few times.
Although this kind of looks like it should be on a witch in these pics, it was very subtle IRL and I actually enjoyed it. Like all the other textured dots I have ever done, I spent a lot of time rubbing my thumb along the bumps. What can I say, I am a tactile person!
What do you think? Glad to see nail art back on the blog? Think this would make a good Halloween mani with some other color scheme? Want to join us? Check what everyone else did!
Very cool! I love how those dots are popping off the nails too :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Lisa! Who needs studs when you have PixieDust (tee hee)
DeleteWikipedia defines achromatic as greyscale, but also states that the modern definition includes neutrals...so you're fine & so are those nails! <3
ReplyDeleteit does look a bit diseased, but to be honest i love it. it looks like moon craters or something.
