Today I have a mani to share that I decided to go a little out of my comfort zone and add some rhinestones too. I cheated a little to make the flower design as I knew I couldn't free hand it completely so I stamped a flower and then did the rhinestones over it. I am pretty happy with the results I got considering that I've only worked with rhinestones less than a handful of times.
The nail color is Metallic 4 Life by OPI, and I stamped with Sally Hansen Silver Sweep InstaDri polish. I stamped with plates from my Red Angel collection. I stamped the flower onto the thumbs (sorry no before pics on that, I forgot!) and then applied 3 green teardrop rhinestones to the leaves, one round stone to the bud, and then a number of the very tiny microbeads to the top of the flower. I finished it off by using a green nail art striper over the stem of the flower.
The only thing that I didn't like about this mani was that stamping over the glitter polish caused the mani to look bumpier than I would normally like. I really liked the look I achieved so I didn't let the grittiness bother me too much!
What do you think of this? Do you like using rhinestones to decorate your manis?
This is so pretty and I just got my red angel plates!!
ReplyDeleteI really like this, but rhinestones are definitely out of my comfortzone too. I've only tried it once, and that was someone else who applied it for me (at a fair :D)
