#49 Chevron Glitter Placement

I was so stoked about this manicure! Until I got to the picture making.. 

I used three different kind of blue coloured glitters, and in 'real life' you can easily see the difference. But on pictures the difference is not visible at all! And I'm so sad about this. But I do know now if I ever wanted to do something similar again, I should use different colours and not just different shades of one colour ;) lesson learned! 

I also made a tutorial on how to make these chevron glitter placement nails. And luckily in the tutorial you can see the difference, so if you want to see the tutorial, click right here, and you'll go to the tutorial! 

For the base I used 'Keep pool' by Catrice. 

And now some 'failed' pictures. (Still like the shine they gave off!) These pictures were actually the only ones where you could see the chevrons a little bit, all the other pictures I made were all rubbish




 

This may look like a lot of work. And I don't think it really is, you do have to take your time but the result is beautiful! And of course you don't have to apply glitters on all the nails, just one accent nail or something like that. 

If you make something with glitters, inspired by me or not, I would love to see it! If you did, just tag me #lookdutchnailss on Instagram or post a picture on my facebookpage! :)

Have fun painting and creating,

#44 Water Marble March #5 It's not March anymore!

One day late, but I still wanted to upload to finish te Water Marble March 

When I started this tutorial I used totally different colours, but those didn't watermarble well, so I tried different colours.. and those didn't worked well too. I almost wanted to stop and just give up. But I decided to try one more time with different colours and fresh water

And it worked! 

For this water marble I used two colours. A limited edtion from Catrice. 'LOVEnder' and 'Paralilac'

If you want to see the tutorial you can click right here, and you'll go directly to the tutorial! :) 



Have fun painting and creating,
