#008: Purple Mist

Luglio 5, 2009

Purple Mist

This is my first nail art made with water. This technique is really easy and fun, maybe a little messy!

What you need: a bowl with water, a toothpick.

Colors:

Smalti

  • Base Coat: Deborah 7 Days Long No.00
  • Glitter Purple: KIKO No. 167
  • Lilac: MAYBELLINE Water Shine No. 24 Simply Mauve
  • Brown: KIKO No. 224
  • Fish Scale Glitter: KIKO No. 170

How to:

  • 02b Apply your base coat.
  • Immagine 004 Drop some nail polish on the water. Here I used the colors in this order: purple, lilac, brown. Dip your nails in the water. With the toothpick remove the polish left over on the water and then take it off. On youtube there are a lot of videos with this technique (search: “water marble effect”).
  • 03b I did it two or three times to have the stripes in different direction. Remove the polish on your skin and from the back of your nails.
  • 04b Last, I’ve added some fish scale glitter. I really like how the green/blue glitter goes with the purple.

Here is the final result. I really really like it.
