31DC2014 Day 30 – Inspired By a Tutorial

By Ruth

Hello! 😀

This is my inspired by a tutorial post for day 30, The tutorial I decided to follow is this rather amazing one that I have been meaning to try for ages.

Nimbus Nail Art From The Nailasaurus!

Nimbus Nail Art

The polishes I used are

• China Glaze – White on White
• Chanel – Vendetta
• China Glaze – Get Outta My Space
• Revlon – Amethyst
• China Glaze – Bizarre Blurple
• Sally Hansen – Good To Grape

Purple Nimbus Nails

I found that the Nimbus technique is really fun! And definitely something that I’m going to try again!

I started out with a couple of coats of white on white as the base, then starting with Vendetta which is the darkest polish I used a cotton bud soaked in acetone and polish to dot on the colour.

When each colour was dry I repeated the process (with a new cotton bud for each colour)

Then I finished it off with a coat of Seche Vite!

I couldn’t resist doing a bit of stamping over this 🙂

I used Plate MM07 from Messy Mansion, this is the first time I’ve used this plate and it’s really lovely! I used Konad SP Black then another coat of Seche Vite

Messy Mansion MM07

I had better take this off and get on with the final post for the 31dc challenge! 😀

  Wow, those turned out very well. 🙂 So pretty. I tried the technique once and…not so good! I basically created a giant remover-and-polish slop pile on my nails. It’s like, “No, no, this CAN’T be right, right?”

    Aw thank you! Oh noes! 😦 did you use remover or acetone? I first tried with remover and it was a disaster!

      Acetone. It was my first attempt, though, and I think I used colours that were just too dark – they didn’t want to blur out into that watercolour-type look at. all.

      I had the opposite problem! All the dark colours I tried where too pale, so I kept trying to add more… It didn’t end well…
