Hi my lovelies! How was your weekend?
Today is day 13 of the 33 Days Challenge and the theme is "Chinese". I tell you, I had a very hard time coming up with anything, and I really hoped one of my stamping plates had some chinese symbols, but I was not lucky! After much thinking I finally decided to go for a Dragon manicure!
This manicure was done only in my left hand, my right hand is only red nails. For achieving it I first painted two flawless coats of OPI Die another day, and waited for it to dry. Then using a dotting tool I tried for the first time the "fish-scales" technique, using the following colours: Zoya Edyta, Zoya Ziv, OPI Up front and personal, Max factor dazzling blue. Then using the Essence nail art pen, I designed the eye and part of the head of the dragon on my middle finger and a tail on my pinkie. I then filled the different parts using a Winstonia brush and Max Factor dazzling blue, Zoya Edyta, Essence be my sunshine and some black and white.
Believe it or not the most difficult part were the scales, because I really should have watched a tutorial first! It was so clear in my head, but not so much on the nail :/
Anyway, I think the final look is pretty Chinese, don't you? What would you have done for this theme? Don't forget to check out what the other ladies have done!
Love,
