But of course you came for nails, and not hair, so let's get into this week's post. I know I haven't done any art in awhile, I have been super busy, great things are happening in my life! So I decided to try my hand at the dry brush technique - where you essentially wipe off most of the polish and give your mani a cool brush stroke abstract look.
First, the base color I chose is a gorgeous dark gray holo with purple flash, Suck it Trebek by Bear Pawlish. I wanted it for the name alone as Celebrity Jeopardy is one of my favorite SNL skits, but the color is also amazing!
I also managed to snag a sample at the recent Elevation Polish restock, as well as one of the Wyoming collection, Cloud Peak. The sample (WYL #12) is a glitter topper with stars, hexes, and squares in light blue and green. Cloud Peak is a wonderful cornflower blue creme/flakie hybrid - something I have never seen before! It seems like every indie brand released a flakie collection in the last 6 months, but Elevation combined flakies with a shimmery creme to create something truly unique!
And of course, I utilized one of my favorite Nail Vinyl shapes, stars, for a cohesive look. I really like how the dry brush turned out, it is definitely easy to do and a fun way to make your mani stand out!
