Ok, peoples. I know I’ve been a total slacker this past month. I’m
sorry. I started college(yea me!!) and I just haven’t had the time to actually
write a post but I’ll be writing a few tonight and saving them for a few days
from now. Here’s o one I did a week or
so ago.
So I really didn’t like the white that I had because it was all
gloppy and thick(which I fixed yesterday) so I decided to use acrylic paint.
For the entire thing. And I found out why you don’t use acrylics for the entire
mani, which I will explain later.
I had been on YouTube watching nail videos(shocker) and I stumbled
across this one and I thought “Oh, that would be really cool if you showed a
path!” So that’s what I did. Started with a white base and did the maze part
with acrylics. I printed off a maze from my computer to help me with actually
doing a maze and it was harder than I thought. I’ve never been one to do mazes
so it was weird…
So it worked out just fine using all acrylics at the beginning until
they started flaking…
You know how the acrylics are kinda chalky in texture after it dries?
My guess is that’s why it flaked, cuz it wasn’t one whole layer. And because it
was chalky, whenever you’d move your toes and the nail bed would flex, instead
of flexing with it, it would just crack underneath it. So that’s what happened.
Definitely a good learning experience, but one I’ll only do
once. :) What are some nail blunders you’ve
made?
