I used OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls on all the nails. I watered down a variety of acrylic paints to create the watercolor effect. After dabbing the water down acrylic paint on the nails, I waited a few seconds before dabbing my nails with a q-tip to absorb any excess water. Repeated this process until I was happy with the results. Finished with Glisten & Glow HK Girl Top Coat.
It was raining the day I took these so excuse the bad lighting and quality. I thought these look pretty cool. What do you think?

This reminds me of an abstract field of flowers with the random pops of color against green. I love it!
ReplyDeleteThanks Amber! :)
DeleteSo pretty!! I agree with Amber... it looks like abstract fields of flowers!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! Given how glossy it is, it reminds me of a paperweight. (That's a compliment-- I love cool glass paperweights.)
ReplyDeleteThanks Cat! :)
DeleteI love the colors you used Lisa it's different from typical watercolor manis which are normally pastel... This reminds me of an old watercolor painting :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! I just used the acrylic paints I had on hand and what I thought would look good together.
DeleteGreat colour combo...I always seem to flood my cuticles when I do water coloring.
ReplyDeleteThank you! They did get on my cuticles too so I had to spend quite a bit of time cleaning them up.
DeleteThe colors work so well together and the watercolor effect came out mesmerizing! love everything about it!
