So I sponged over my 2 shades of grey. My carefully planned 'rain' glitters were kind of lost in the sponging so I'll have to do a Rains of Grey manicure later so I can try the full effect. For the rain I cut up some nail foils, the full nail stick on sort, then I sealed it all with topcoat.
For the clouds I dotted on some Ulta3 Lily White then sprinkled on some white flocking powder. The flocking powder was in little balls in the jar, I don't know if it's supposed to do that or if it was suffering from the humidity too. It was my first time flocking :) I pressed the powder into the white polish then brushed off the excess.
Finally I grabbed a piece of large round silver holo glitter, painted it yellow for a sun, and stuck it on with a bit of topcoat and took photos. It was late last night by the time I was done so I had to use flash for the photos but I do like the way my rain drops lit up.
Not sure how long this will last. I'm itching to take it off and wear something new but I'm also curious as to how long the flocking powder and nail foils will stay. Last night I removed my 'sun' before bed and today the clouds look a bit grubby and have lost most of their fluff. I also lost a chunk of grey from my index finger on my left hand while peeling veggies for dinner and chopped my thumb nail with a knife. I must remember to book another eye test :(
Here's the other girls who are participating in Aussie Nails Monday. Now mine are finally done I can go and check out theirs. I try not to look before I do mine because I don't want to be influenced or intimidated by their mad skillz :)
