All I did was create the foil bit first so drew a circle and the swirls in Blackpool and cured then applied foil.

Filled in the empty circle with Blackpool & cured.

Applied purple purple on top of the black circle with a small dotting tool swirling it in the circle to fill it out then applied tutti Frutti in the same method without curing purple purple then I added more purple purple - still not curing. Finished by adding zillionaire swirling them all together. Then I cured.

Then added top coat onto the circle with a small brush and cured. Then a final top coat over the whole nail.

It's a lot of layers so you would think it would wrinkle but for some reason it doesn't lol the trick is to build up the circle with all the colours but not curing in between each one to create the raised gem, pearlised colours seem to give a better effect.

Hope this helps x

Gorgeous! I will have to try HPP with IH additive next, the combo looks amazing! Great embossing too!

I've got some catching up to do! Here's mine for pink

Ok, so it took me a while to get my head around pink, I'm not a fan of it either. But, here they are

Welcome. The more the merrier (I may have used this phrase before ).

Aww thank you very much, it means a lot to me that people like my free hand painting, especially because I really struggle with the more basic patterns. I think my brain refuses to understand the 'less is more' theory XD

i follow this thread and think all your designs are great. I was hoping some of you could point me in the right direction of a good set of nail art brushes.The ones i have at the mo are cheap and think i would benefit from spending some money on a decent set x

My art brushes I got from eBay for less than 3quid, I ensure they are cleaned well before storing away.
But they are only used for acrylic paints.

I usually use my dotting tools for my art and just wipe them clean

28 small minutes until our next new colour.. Blue.

Oh how I'm looking forward to blue lol.

 

[Pashaboutnails]

I have been practising and anticipating the 'blues', but what did I end up putting on my nails? Pink and blue, which doesn't qualify. Looks like it will be nail pops again this week
