Gold Half Chevrons

 

Did some simple half chevrons this week. I still haven't managed to get a hang of using striping tape yet, so the edges are a bit off on some nails, but oh well.

I used 17 Fast Finish in Nightshade and Barry M Foil Effects 320.

Easter holidays are coming up, so hopefully I'll be able to do a lot more and more detailed nail art to keep posting over my exam period! I have my AS exams in a few weeks, and I'm not looking forward to them at all...

Spray Water Marble in Gold

Did some spray water marbling today. In case you're unfamiliar with the technique, it's very similar to normal water marbling, but you use hairspray to make the polish shrink into interesting shapes. Unfortunately one of my nails went wrong, and I didn't have time to redo it, hence the accent nail! The turquoise is Peacock by 17, and the gold is the gold foil effect by Barry M. You can't quite see it here, but I used the Collection 2000 Sparkle Top Coat, which adds a bit off glittery shimmer on top.
