Northern lights nail art with OPI Sheer Tints

The next rainbowy nail art with the OPI Sheer Tints is inspired by Northern lights.
I have never had the possibility to witness it in real life but as from pictures, paintings and art I have to believe it's beautiful.
I found it very hard to translate this beauty into a nail art but I tried my best.
 
After the basecoat I applied two coats of Maybelline 650 Midnight Blue:
 
 
Then I gave two nails Picture Polish Gravity and two nails Picture Polish Aurora.

This picture doesn't do the polish any justice. The silver sparkles that you see are actually holographic but it wasn't sunny here :(

I then took a detail brush and white acrylic paint to set out the Northern lights on the nails:
 
 
After some drying time I randomly placed the OPI Sheer Tints:
 
 
If I had to do this nail art again I would have made it more subtle taking less space of the nails but I'm pretty happy with this first go :D

  3. There are so many wonderful things going on with this manicure. Placing the tints over the white is such a great idea. And Picture Polish has such cool colors. I have three but have not done anything on the blog with them.
