Literary Lacquers - A Wrinkle In Time - Stained Glass Nail Art

Hi Goddesses



I spent this weekend playing with the new Literary Lacquers Collection - A Wrinkle In Time.  The good news is that I think this is Amy's best collection to date, AND the polishes play beautifully together.   You're going to see quite a bt of nail art with them over the next couple of weeks, but believe me, you won't get bored of them!





The swatches will come in another post, but today I want to share some mosaic or stained glass nail art with you.  I love this style, and yet it's ages since I last did it.  Go figure.





The base for this mani was the yellow of the collection, Happy Medium.  I then drew the mosaic pattern over it with my Sam Biddle nail art pen and her water based paint - I'm still having issues with this pen, so the outlining was a little thicker than I wanted.




I then used a nail art brush to colour in my pieces, using one colour at a time - 

* green - Who Which Whatsit
* orange - Strong Steady Hand
* pale blue - Swallowed Up In Blue
* purple - Megatron





For me, the finished version really pops, and I was sad to take this off.  A great mani AND a happy mani :)




These polishes were sent to me for an honest review, and can be purchased from Amy's shop HERE.

These turned out great. Really reminds me of stained glass too.

Oooh! Gorgeous! Love the colors too!
Great way to showcase this collection! I actually like the thicker lines, they make it look more like real stained glass.
I can't believe I STILL haven't tried stained glass nail art! This is really pretty :)
Ha ha - now I know why you asked that grammar question!
