Happy Thanksgiving to you all!! I have a quick post to share with you today. I haven't had a tone of time to spend on my nails this week, so I decided to keep my mani simple...
Colors Used: OPI - Christmas Gone Plaid, Sally Hansen - White On, Acrylic Paint, OPI - Matte Top Coat
I simultaneously love and hate this mani lol. I'm obsessed with this nail color right now; it's just perfect. It applies like butter!
I started with 2 coats of my base colors, with white for my accent color. I painted 3 vertical green stripes (center and both sides) with Christmas Gone Plaid and once it set I then painted 3 horizontal white stripes with acrylic paint. To get the flannel look, I used a detail brush and went back with my green polish to apply diagonal lines in alternating boxes. Doing this with nail polish was difficult, not gonna to lie. I would recommend using acrylic paint for small detail work like this. But, alas.
I topped my accent nail with OPI's Matte Top Coat and the rest of my nails with a Salon top coat I get from my local nail supply store
A little messy, but I'll take it!
Well, I'm off to go watch some Supernatural with the hubs before we head over to my parents house for family craziness lol. Have a happy and blessed day :)
Until next time!
