Evening!
I'm starting to feel a tad distant from my lovely readers and blog since I've been swamped with uni work and assignments and haven't been able to talk to all of you as much as I'd like. With that being said I've also had a lot on my mind lately, since my wisdom tooth is giving me problems and with my bleeding disorder any mention of an operation scares me to the tips of the nerve endings in my toes. So tonight will be a short and quick post and I'm hoping that I'll be able to upload much more with the upcoming weekend since the semester ends next Friday!
I desperately wanted to do a nail art idea using Rimmel's "Barmy Blue", because in my opinion it's the best seductive dark blue nail-polish shade I've set eyes on and reminds me of OPI's "Road House Blues" although it has more of a purple undertone than Barmy Blue which is on the cooler side. To create the effect of a marble effect, I first painted my nails with Barmy Blue then dipped the fan brush into white nail polish and swiped across my nail. At first the strokes were too thick and there was no definition in the lines on my nails, to solve that I dipped the brush in acetone and swiped across my nail again until a marble effect was created. Like all my nail art, it happened by pure accident because A. I have never used a fan brush before and I'm sure envious of nail artists that have clear defined lines and B. this was my first attempt and dunking the brush in acetone seemed like the appropriate option instead of removing everything off my nail and starting from scratch *laughs*.
Bye Bye!
P.S I've started reading 50 shades of grey and I'm currently on the third book and yes, I have an infatuation with Christian Grey!
