Hi!
I can't believe it's only Tuesday! It felt like Friday today for some reason... or maybe that's just me being weird?
But anyways. Recently, the Nailasaurus came out with a new technique: nimbus nail art! (see her tutorial here)
I decided to try it out, and of course I had to add some extra stamping and glitter.

| The finished product |
First, I started with a white base (Revlon Spirit). Then, I did nimbus nail art with Sally Hansen Mint Sorbet, Sephora by OPI Read My Palm, and Nails Inc Queen Victoria Street.
Next, I added one coat of China Glaze Fairy Dust (which I'm in love with... like just about everyone else).
And finally, I added the stamping with MoYou Suki 01 and Nails Inc Chelsea Bridge Road.
Yep, the pinky was a complete failure, but all the other fingers turned out pretty well! The nimbus technique was really simple to do and I liked the finished effect.
But for some reason, even though the stamping and nimbus effect turned out fine, I think these just look a little strange. I don't know why, but I just don't like them for some reason... do you guys ever feel like that about a design you've done?
What do you think of this design? Do you think it's kinda weird-looking, like me? And are you as much in love with Fairy Dust as I am? :D
Thanks for reading!

I really like the stamping. The color combination is amazing as well. Fairy Dust is one of my favorite glitters. I use it all the time. I think I might want to try this technique soon ^^.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Yep, Fairy Dust is amazing!
DeleteI don't think they look strange at all, they're super pretty! <3
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! I don't know, they look more weird in person, I guess... :P
Deleteooo a new technique! how fun- it looks almost 3D!
ReplyDeleteThis turned out gorgeous!! And I am totally in love with Fairy Dust, which I'm sure you knew XD Just want to put it on everything!!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Haha, I'm trying to resist but I'm not doing so well so far :)
Deletethis is beautiful, I really need to try out this technique too!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Yeah, it's really fun :)
Deletethis time i'll agree with you, this manicure looks better without stamping... stamping would look better on one-colored nails, i think ;)
ReplyDeleteYeah, I agree! I think it looks a little busy with the nimbus effect and the stamping :P
DeleteI think this looks pretty! Sort of soft and delicate with the colors you chose. I do love fairy dust but hate the dry time! Mine takes for ever!! But it always adds a beautiful something to a mani!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Yeah, it does take a long time... I tried to use a quick-dry topcoat but it still wasn't completely dry before I stamped (which is why the pinky got so messed up)!
DeleteThis is soooooo pretty! Great job, I love the colors!!! A good alternative to Fairy Dust is the Out The Door Northern Lights top coat. It gives exactly the same effect, but takes less than a minute to dry! I just bought it and love it!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Hmm, I'll have to check it out :)
DeleteThis is beautiful, I think it looks very fantasy-like, it makes me think of secret gardens and fairies indeed :) I have nominated you for the Versatile blogger award :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! It does kinda remind me of fairies, I never thought of that :) Thanks so much for nominating me! I recently did this award, but if I find enough amazing bloggers I'll do it again!
