The One Inspired by PippyPolish

Good Morning Polished World! Welcome to another week! This weekend was partially a bust for me. Yesterday I spent most of the afternoon in bed with the worst migraine. Woke up, felt fine, went outside and was hit by the humidity and it just did not play well with my head. Came back inside, laid down, fell asleep, then woke up hours later not even sure what day it was. Not going to lie, it was a great nap despite the confusion upon waking up.
Today's design is one that is inspired by PippyPolish on Instagram. Since my nails are finally healthy again after months of peeling and breaking, I'm able to go back to my favorite type of manicure, a negative space manicure! You know, the one where you create the design on top of your naked nail, or leave some blank space. I apologize in advance for the sheer amount that will be posted over the next few weeks.
Let's take a look!
Colors Used:
- ORLY - Liquid Vinyl
- ORLY - White Tips
- ORLY - some bright pink which the label fell off the bottom -_-
Negative space, daisies, and a neon? Can't get much better than this!! Now, PippyPolish used a yellow for the centers of her flowers, but since it's summertime, I decided to go for a neon pink. I'm really happy with the decision. It gave the manicure a retro feel.
In order to do a perfect negative space design, you cannot put the nail art direct on the nail. You have to start off with a base coat. For me, I use ORLY Top 2 Bottom. I then add a layer of FingerPaints Smooth Over Ridge Filler. This adds a little cloudy look to the nail, but still shows off the naked base. Once it's dried, you have the perfect canvas for any nail art. When you add your top coat, it all turns shiny and the design really holds onto the nail. I've found when I don't use a base, it chips off super fast.
Until next time, <3.
