Hi! I’m really happy to be doing a guest post on The Nailasaurus as it’s one of the blogs that has inspired me from the start, so it’s quite exciting! I knew I wanted to do something using shades of blue, so I just sat at my desk and this is what I came up with.
I started with a base of Illamasqua Caress. I added a stripe of Illamasqua Cameo over half of my nail, and then a stripe of Barry M Turquoise down the middle. I used a small striping brush to paint the dividing lines on, using Barry M Cyan Blue and piCture pOlish Ocean.
I didn’t want to do a whole manicure of stripes, so I decided to bust open my packet of craft feathers! I started with a base of Barry M Cyan Blue. I added some top coat and then stuck the feather down and trimmed the edges to fit using a cuticle trimmer. There is a great tutorial for using feathers right here on The Nailasaurus!
Thank you Sammy for asking me to do a post! I hope everyone likes it! – Allie x
