Gemstone Polish

Hey There People! Today I have some nail art inspired by a fantastic geometric print by Tabo Garcia . I really like Garcia's prints, especially the nature inspired ones! I added a blue sky to my interpretation and altered the composition slightly to fit better across my nails. I started with a few coats of OPI 'Dining Al Frisco' which is a beautiful pearlescent sky blue. Although this nail polish has some duskiness to it, it's actually quite bright once it's on the nails!

To begin this manicure, I used China Glaze 'Keep Calm, Paint On' on all my nails. This nail polish is a lovely shimmery light mint colour but has an awful formula! Even after re-applying this polish a few times, it still became a bubbling mess. Luckily a couple of coats of matte nail polish sorted this out :) For my background, I wanted a watercolour effect so I used nail polishes thinned down with Orly nail polish thinner. Then I used a soft brush to apply the polish randomly on each nail. I used the following nail polishes; Zoya 'Gemma' (olive green with slight blue shimmer), Orly Coachella Dweller' (light apple green), Barry M 'Key Lime' (lime green) and a touch of Re
