Today's 33DC entry was totally annoying for me. You know this feeling when you get an idea and you gotta do it no matter what? And it fails and you re-do it over and over and you just can't let go? Well, this is what today's mani did to me. I saw this picture of full nails decals and I totally fell in love with it. So I decided I can do it without the decals themselves...
So I am not happy with the results of course. It didn't turn quite as cute as it was in my head, but it was a learning experience nevertheless. The next time I will try to use either a dotting tool to paint the white clouds, or some tape cut with those nice shaped scissors.
The rest of this mani was free-handed using my loyal Orly Crisp White striper. The half moon rainbows were drawn with some Nail Art pens. I ended this mani with... Butter London Matte finish top coat. Why? I have no idea... it felt right somehow...
Of course I later had to see how it looked all shiny...
Personally, I think I prefer the matte version. What do you think?
All in all this one is definitely not one of my favorite manis, but the idea really caught me. I will have to try it once more!

This's pretty awesome!
Actually, I like a holo version more;)
Absolutely love this! You did such an outstanding job! ( I love your new layout btw! ) Also I'm with you! I prefer the matte version too. The vertical gradients already gave the illusion of 'rainbow shining' on the nails - I simply love that! And thanks for the walkthrough on how you created this! ♥ Will have to try this someday! Thank you! :D
Good effort - and I like the holo top coat best!
i like shiny one better :) it goes with theme and its really cute idea
I think those are super cute! I would have skipped the holo TC but hey, it does add something..! I just loved the chalky look better!
Have you learned a lesson? Don't go to look at water decals and then get crazy trying to draw it free-hand! :-) Well, I'm only kidding, because your result is worth all the effort and it is much more than good, it is gorgeous! Although I love the matt effect, with this manicure it's different: I love it with the holo top coat! :-)
