Hi guys! So, it's time for another challenge post. The details of this challenge are explained in this post. Today's challenge prompt is Wrath. "Get mad trying, again, that technique you know it's going to be a fail."
So, for my wrath mani I decided to tackle a technique that has made me pretty angry in the past, the water spotted technique. To know what I'm talking about, here is the tutorial I first saw by cutepolish and then some brilliant examples of this by Spektor's Nails. My initial problem was that I kept trying to use hand sanitizer and could not find the right one. I would keep getting one giant spot in the middle which was not at all useful. Then, on instagram, where I vented about this, someone suggested I try using hairspray. Two dollar Suave hairspray and a few attempts later, I think I got the hang of it! So here are my water spotted nails.
For the base I used Forever 21 Love and Beauty Lavender and the gold is L'Oreal Because You're Worth It. To tell you the truth, I'm a little meh about the mani right now. Maybe it's because of my color choices or maybe I need to add a third color. I'm not writing the technique off at all. I just need to try it with other colors, I think.
Here is Love and Beauty Lavender all by itself. Isn't it pretty?

ReplyDeleteMaybe it didn't turn out how you wanted it to be but its actually very pretty. love the base color too.
ReplyDeleteThank you Nirah. It seemed a little bland to me and I loved the way it looked after the neon glitter. I definitely need to do this technique again.
