This design is a Wah design from their second book.
The colours I used are-
Ciate- cha cha cha
17- Wave
Models own- pink blush
Barry M- bright purple
Barry M- key lime
Accessorize- carnival
And I used my Andrea Fullerton black nailart pen to outline the colours.
To create this effect I used nail foils. I painted my nails pink first and let that dry completely, then I put on the adhesive and waited for it to almost be dry, but not completely and then placed the foil on my nails, smoothed it over a bit and tore it off! And finished with a topcoat! Make sure not to use a fast drying topcoat with foils!
I started by painting my nails gold, then using a metallic pink polish and a sponge I started to create a bit of a gradient. I didn't go to heavily with the pink though and built it up in thin layers. Once I'd done that to add a bit of extra detail I took a paisley design from a stamping plate and stamped in over the gold to carry on the gradient right down my nail, but so when you look closely you can see the extra detail. (It doesn't show in the picture :( )
Merry Christmas! I've just opened my stocking and was very delighted to see the prettiest pink glitter polish I have ever seen! It's Essie A Cut Above and I just could not wait to try it. I decided to layer it over Accessorize Cinder Rose and add a little silver circle stud at the base of my nails. It was very easy to apply; the glitter went on very evenly, only took a bit of arranging to get it beautifully distributed over my nail and I didn't need to use that much of the polish to get a nice amount of glitter on my nails. And it's just SO pretty!
This design is very simple and easy. I just painted my nails in Milan by No. 7 then used a topcoat to secure on the gold studs (from eBay).
