I'm happy with the finished look, I wanted the gold to look like confetti and the black swirls to look like the streamers. I think next year I will attempt fireworks. I hope everyone has a great New Years Eve, I will be spending time with my family watching the countdown from home. I hope everyone enjoys themselves and is safe. Thanks for all the love and support you all have given me this year, I hope you stick around to see whats in store for next year!



Happy New Year 2016!

Shattered_Glass_Holographic_Broken_Mirror_Nails_Tutorial


This is my 3rd mani for the Weekly Nail Art Challenge(#WNAC2015) on instagram which is hosted by @missbellatracey, @simplynailogical and @kgrdnr. 

The theme for the month is Elegance.


This weeks prompt is: Shattered Glass

I used Funky Fingers Dark Knight, Quick Dry Top Coat, Holographic cellophane(gift wrap) and Scissors 
Shattered_Glass_Holographic_Broken_Mirror_Nails_Tutorial
With the new trend a lot of people use clear irridescent cellophane over either black or white polish. With my attempt at the look I tried something a bit different and used a opaque silver holographic cellophane, to give it more of a broken mirror look. Unfortunately the photos don't do the holographic shards any justice but they sparkle beautifully in person.

To get this look:
  1. Take sheet of cellophane and using scissors cut into small pieces(triangles or diamonds)
  2. Think about placement and test out look on nails. Cut and adjust as needed.
  3. Paint on base coat and 1 coat of  Dark Knight, let it dry.
  4. Paint on 1 coat of quick dry top coat and quickly place the cellophane shards. Add as many or as little as you are happy with(work 1 nail at a time)
  5. Finish with 1 or 2 coats on quick dry top coat to help flatten all pieces.
