First, I used Salon Perfect Sugar Cube on all the nails. With a makeup sponge, I sponged a gradient using Essie Borrowed & Blue, China Glaze Re-fresh Mint, and American Apparel Coney Island. Then, I applied Nina Ultra Pro Holographic Topcoat. With various colors of acrylic paint, I diluted them with water. Taking a small brush, I dabbed on blobs on the nails and then with a q-tip, I dotted each blob to create the bubble effect. Finished with Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Top Coat.
I'm disappointed the white bubbles wasn't that noticeable in the pictures.. Other than that, I'm happy with how this turned out. What do you think of this bubble print gradient?
Cute :) i rly love the base gradient :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! I like the gradient too.
DeleteCool technique! I do not have any acrylic paint, so I think I would try it with regular polish and polish thinner. Do you think that would work?
ReplyDeleteThanks! Maybe, I'm not sure but give it a try and see. Doesn't hurt to try :)
DeleteThe gradient is subtle but really brings in the spring flavor ~
ReplyDeleteThanks!

DeletePretty! I can just make out the white bubbles, but I know how you feel. I did some nail art the other day but when I photographed it you couldn't make out the details - such a let down!

DeleteToo bad the white bubbles didn't quite show up. Maybe a gray outline could make them pop out a bit. :) I love the subtle gradient! This nail art actually reminds me of flying petals. They look like petals of different flowers and are flying all over the place. :D
ReplyDeleteYeah, its too bad but there much more noticeable in real life. Thanks Breena!
DeleteThese are awesome. Love that gradient!
