Holo Month - Reeds In A Lilypad (Lacquer)

Hi Goddesses



Today sees the start of holo month (there's a LOT headed your way), some SUPER simple nail art .... and a secret, but we'll save that to the end.




On base we have my new favourite brand - Lilypad Lacquer - and the divine pinkholobomb that is Bubble Yummo.  You've seen it already on the blog, but wow I can't get enough of it.




On stripes we have OPI Miami Beet, OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls and China Glaze Purple Panic.




I used a thin striper brush to apply my stripes at random angles, intersecting and overlapping with no distinct pattern.  To be honest, this is where I am happiest, being random :)




I loved the effect here, and the best bit?  (and the secret) ..... when I applied the first stripe, it was supposed to be vertical, and went on wonky ... and so this mani was born, as I turned my accidental wonk into deliberate randomness.  A fail, saved, and a much better mani as a result!




Enjoy xx :)
