Day 1 prompt is to follow a tutorial. I used a video tutorial by cutepolish for making freehand argyle nail art. It's really simple, although it does require a steady hand. I started with two coats of a light pink creme, Doll Face from Chick Nail Polish. Then I used single chevron nail vinyls from Glam My Mani (these where previously provided for me to review) to create the grey triangles. After, I used a stripping brush dipped in thinned white polish (White Out from Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear) to create the white stripes. Finally, I topped it all with once coat of As A Matte A Fact from Serum No.5.
I really love Serum No. 5 As A Matte A Fact, it's a matte top coat with flakies in it! These aren't holographic or color shifting flakies, they are slightly iridescent however and add a nice subtle shimmer.
What do you guys think? Have you done argyle print nail art before?

DeleteSuch a pretty, feminine design! And your freehand is perfect! Thanks for the heads up on that Serum No. 5 topper. From your description, it sounds like the matte counterpart to CG Fairy Dust! Off to buy it ASAP.
ReplyDeleteI love! This mani combined my favorite print (argyle) with 2 of my favorite colors :-)
ReplyDeleteI love the colors and pattern, so classic and feminine! This is the first I'm hearing of the Serum No.5 Matte Flakie Topper, I need it in my life now!
ReplyDeleteIt's a great topper. The Mercurial magpie has a great review on it.

ReplyDeleteThanks Manna!
DeleteI've been wanting to do this pattern for such a long time but it's very intimating to me lol I love how this mani turned out.
ReplyDeleteIt's actually really easy, especially if you use a vinyl or stripping tape to help with the different color triangles. The hardest part is then free handing the thin lines.
DeleteI absolutely adore these! They look so soft! And I'm pretty sure I need that Serum No 5 in my life stat!
ReplyDeleteThanks Mega. Yes you do, it's awesome if you like to matte things. Matte + Flakies = win.
