This week, one of my colleagues went to get her nails done at a salon, and asked for a rainbow accent nail. Apparently, they told her it couldn't be done! (They did a lovely skittle mani for her instead, but it was no rainbow!) So I decided to do a rainbow accent nail myself.
The main colour is Barry M Mist, one of the lovely Silk range. I then used a lot of different colours and lots of striping tape to make the accent nail.
Left to right in the photo above (I think!) are: Models Own Pukka Purple, Rimmel Ultra Violet, Barry M Pink Punch, Barry M Blood Orange, OPI Roll in the Hague, Barry M Yellow, MoYou London Spring Green, Barry M Huckleberry, Barry M Guava, Barry M Blue Grape, and Models Own Pukka Purple again.
I'm really chuffed with how neatly this came out! It's a million times better than the first time I tried to make rainbow stripes!
What do you reckon? An improvement?
It couldn't be done :-| Maybe the didn't know how to do it!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis looks really funky and I like the colours. The rainbow goes well with the silk Barry M :-)
I'm certain they just didn't know how to do it! From what I see of the results of professional salons, they don't know a whole lot about nail art and think acrylics/gels and French tips are the only options.
DeleteAnd thank you! Yes, I like the combination too.
I cannot believe the salon said it couldn't be done! I really like your design ! You've improved a lot since you first tried the design! :)
ReplyDeleteI know, it's mad isn't it! Thank you!
