Hi Goddesses
I got off to quite the false start with this month’s Tri Polish Challenge, and today you get 2 versions of the same mani. Basically, I used the wrong polishes, so had to start all over again. Booooo!
Originally I picked Barry M Blood Orange, Butter London Smog and OPI Give Me The Moon! As you’ll see, the gorgeous shimmery qualities of GMTM just don’t translate well into nail art, and it was a real struggle to see what I’d done with it.
So this is the first version, with the wishy washy looking grey and super large dots, which aren’t nearly perfect enough. I still haven’t figured out how to do these properly. I swooshed my largest dotting tool around a bit, but as you can see, the edges are very uneven.
I then added some smaller dots (but still large lol) inside, and joined the dots together with lines. However, I used a dotting tool instead of a brush, and I didn’t like that it looked like more dots.
Siiiiigh, so back to the drawing board and a change of polishes. Barry M kept his place but now we have KIKO 329 and 339, which are more opaque than the polishes they replaced.
I redid pretty much the same design, but decided not to supersize the dots – I think this was a wise decision!
I used my smallest nail art brush to connect the dots, and I don’t understand how I did that well on the blue base, but like a toddler on the red base! Oh well, sometimes a mani is just not meant to be!
Enjoy xx :)
