Day 280) Jasper transfer foil

With my last order I decided to make it a round number and therefore Jasper transfer foil also got a chance ;D

 

This is what it looks like:

 

 

It actually transfers the same way on the nail but I think my nail picture doesn't do it justice.

It's a mix of silver, bronze and browns.

Perfect for fall!!!

Earlier this day I almost had a perfect transfer but didn't have time to take pictures.

I hadn't applied any topcoat so when I came to taking pictures I already had some tip wear (which is not odd with transfer foil).

I decided to paint the tips in a bronze because I didn't want to do the mani again.

 

 

Some parts are so shiny you can see yourself in it.

Because I want this mani to last till tomorrow I decided to use a topcoat...mostly not recommended by transfer foils.

But this time it made al tiny cracks in it which I kinda like...it gives a sort of tree bark look.

 

Day 270) Marbled fall nails

There are a lot of techniques which can be used to get that marbled look (saran wrap, dry marbling, sponging).
Today I used the sponging technique.
I simply applied 3 blobs of polish on the nail sized sponge (a reddish orange, yellow and green) and sponged it on the nails.
I pushed the sponge several times on the nail, while turning and placing the sponge in different ways.
I had to do this twice to get full opacity.

After applying topcoat and some drying time.
I decided to make a leaf accent nail.
Started with free handing the leaf outline but totaly messed up (pssst I'm not telling).
Then I decided to make everything around the leaf brown and...problem solved (yes, of course this has been absolutely on purpose).
