The problem was that I had already spent a couple hours doing this at the point when the stickers were ready to be peeled off and I had to go eat in the cafeteria in a matter of minutes. I had had my eye on the clock beforehand and because of the time constraint I had tried to rush the whole process by applying the stickers before the blue/purple polish was ready for to stand up against the adhesive of the stickers.
When I pulled the stickers off of my nails the blue/purple polish came off with them. I tried to salvage the design by filling in the spots and then redefining the gold and going back and forth fixing the shapes but it ended very sloppily. I took all the polish of (again) and trudged to dinner.
Later on, I did my nails with the same 3 polishes. This time I didn't use stickers and only painted the tips of my nails with the gold polishes. As suggested by a friend, I used a rubber band to create the barrier for the tip. the band did an okay job but was hard to hold in position and led to a little of a sloppy job painting the golds.
1st color: Purple from "Vincent Van Gold" Expressionist set by Revlon
2nd color: Gold from "Vincent Van Gold" Expressionist set by Revlon
3rd color: Vivien from the Amercian Beauty Collection by Julep (a shimmery silvery gold with sequins)
I like the two different golds I used and the gold from revlon was very opaque, which was nice, but the bluish purple from Revlon was very thin and watery when I applied it.
Dude, I don't have the patience for nail stickers either. I may have asked mom to buy them for my birthday, haha! I'll text you a pic
ReplyDeleteThose nails were awesome! And yeah, nail stickers are fun, but require a lot of patience ha ha
