I will start off by saying that I had a different plan for this mani, which is why it started with a ruffian. For the ruffian I used Essie Mochachino topped with Essie Little Brown Dress. I've never attempted a sugar spun mani and I don't think it looks terribly difficult, but I wonder if they are practical to wear. I always wonder if those 3D lines of polish ever dry.....do they? So, to create a kind of sugar spun effect, I took my smallest nail art brush with some bright colors and simply drew lines across my nails. The colors I used were Essie Splash of Grenadine, China Glaze Highlight of My Summer, China Glaze Too Yacht to Handle, and China Glaze Bottoms Up. I started with one color on each nail, and then decided to create a layered effect with some of the colors.
I finished off with one coat of Seche Vite and had it dry like normal. I would love to know what people think of this one. Have you tried a sugar spun mani? Were you able to get it to dry?
Cute, love it. it's very artsy and abstract!
ReplyDeleteThank you Jasmine, I feel a little better about it now :)
DeleteLove all this artsy stuff you do on your nails. Have you thought about doing some tutorials to show people how you do it?

Thanks Jules! I did give tutorials some thought, but wasn't sure if people would be interested. I will have to look into that!
DeleteThis looks so cool! I love the colors you chose, and the sugar spun effect came out amazingly! :)
