PURPLE
CRUMPET FAIRY CHALLENGE – The 31 Days of Christmas
Day 8 -
Snowflakes
Hi
Goddesses
So, after
the Delphinium mare-inium, here I am with my 2nd attempt at
snowflakes, and I do like this better, though still not as much as some other
bloggers! It’s sad but true – although all
snowflakes are unique and have different patterns, the best manis are the ones
that do the same pattern on every nail.
Hmmmmmm.
The more
obvious choice of base colour is now CG Sea Spray, a really beautiful shade of
pale blue. White striper pen, and a few
white dots. And then a top coat of Don’t
You Wish by Pure Ice to try and give it some frosty sparkle.
For something
sooooo simple, I seem to have found snowflakes REALLY hard. I am of course my own worst enemy, for
several reasons –
·
I am not artistic in a “oooh you can draw” way. I can do cartoony things and patterns, but I am
not very good at things that are supposed to resemble things
·
I hate to practice or plan. I think and I do. My better manis recently have been ones where
I have put more thought in – dammit, I’m gonna have to knuckle down and be
adult about this
·
I prefer dotting tools to brushes. Even with nail art pens I am not getting thin
enough lines, so today I have thinned some of my brushes!
·
Its really not helping that I am right handed and I am
doing all this with my left hand, cos I can’t take polish off my left hand too
often because of the silk wrap. I think
*this* is actually the best excuse of all, and the most logical and
persuasive. How would YOUR nail art look
if you were doing it with the wrong hand ?
Lol. So, snowflake malarkey done, but I am not
satisfied. Maybe I’m just bored with
those colours. Seriously, I don’t think I
can use Sea Spray again for months!
Oooooh I wonder
what purple neon snowflakes would look like …….
Oh sorry –
forgot you were still here ….. was truffling through purples …… ooh, look at that one ….. sorry, sorry, rude!
Rude! Byeeeeee
Enjoy J xx

Top Tip – if you’re
ever unsure what a nail colour looks like, go to Google images, which will give
you plenty of contrasts and compares.
