These nails didn't start off with this design in mind. I had a totally different plan, but that plan went south as soon as I laid down my base color.
I like the color of this polish in the bottle, but once I had it on my nails it was another story.
The base color is called Evening Light, and it is by Glitter Gal.
I didn't want to waste good mani time or polish, so I thought I could cover up the color with a bit of foil. Don't get me wrong. The polish is pretty but it's not the right color for me.
I took some blue holo foil, and pressed it onto my nails after I applied the glue adhesive to my nails. I let it sit for just a minute then peeled the foil off.
I was hoping for patchy results and thats what I got! Yay! Something went right.
I then added some real watch parts that I salvaged from old wind up watches.
The end result is what you see pictured.
I do like how they came out in the end. It's unique and the design is cohesive.
IMHO.
~ until next time my sweets!
