Lace is the last Weekly Nail Art Challenge prompt for this month and I've decided to step out of my comfort zone. Ever since I've started this blog I have never incorporated a metallic silver polish. Even silver glitter only made an appearance a few times. I don't know why though, I have quite a few of them! I thought it was about time to change that.
The theme for January is stil Glitz and Glam but I couldn't decide on what colour to use. I ended up having some sort of internal monologue which went somewhat like this. I asked myself what makes a design glamorous? Black? Sure, but I wasn't feeling it today. I know! Gold! Everyone likes gold. Ugh, gold, AGAIN? You always add bloody gold to everything. Point taken. Hold on...no, don't even go there. Ugh, fine! Silver it it then!
Ever since I can remember I thought that silver polish and anything silver in general doesn't suit me. It's a cold shade and I'm so pale, which is why I wasn't overly excited about using it. But it seemed silly not to at least give it a go and I'm so happy I did! I absolutely love how this turned out!
To create the lace effect I used MoYou London Bridal 07 plate and Beauty UK 'Olimpic Silver'. I also tested my new clear stamper from bornprettystore.com. This was just a quick try because it arrived this morning and I really wanted to use it but I think I did alright! The black rhinestones are also from bornprettystore.com and I reviewed them here.
What do you think? Do you like metallic polishes?
