Manicure Monday (8): Forbidden
This week I attempted some nail art for you guys. Let me say that I am usually terrible at this kind of thing but thought I would give it a go. The first try looked pretty bad but I did it again the next day, with much better results.
Before you ask, yes, I put my fingers on his abs on purpose. ;) This week’s book is Forbidden by Jacquelyn Frank. This is the first book in her new Bodywalkers series. So far I like it but, like all Jacquelyn Frank books, it’s a little dense so it’s taking me longer than usual to read it. But I am enjoying it.
On my nails is China Glaze Blue Year’s Eve (blue) and Urban Outfitters Silver Holo. I thought this blue was really pretty and went with the cover well. You’ll see in the close up how bright and sparkly it is. I wanted something fun to contrast with it and picked up the silver holo, which is a fantastic rainbow bomb. If you like holos, go to Urban Outfitters and get this one. To do this manicure, I first painted my entire nail with the blue (2 coats) and then let is dry. Like super dry. After it was really dry, I taped off half my nail with regular Scotch tape, making sure that there were no gaps or bubbles. Then I painted the untaped side with the silver polish and removed the tape right away. I wanted to do something with to sides to sort of show the two sides of the Bodywalkers souls since they are two souls Blending together in one body. Kinda makes sense, right?
