I wanted yellow nails this week but I don't think I am tan enough yet to have every nail be yellow. So I did two yellow nails and three hot pink nails per hand. To get the yellow more vibrant I put two coats of white nail polish as a base and then two thin layers of yellow over top. The hot pink polish needed two coats as well.
Overall, I was pleased with how this manicure turned out except that when I woke up this morning I realized that the yellow polish had bubbled. I'm not sure if it is because the yellow polish is kinda old or if it was from the crappy top coat I used but I don't like the look of the bubbles so I will be changing my manicure again soon.
Polishes used:
Calvin Klein Splendid Basis Protective Base Coat
Rimmel London French White Tip Pro
NYC Long Wearing Nail Enamel 114A Taxi Yellow Creme
OPI Pink Flamenco
No Name Top Coat
Aww that is too bad it bubbled! I hate when I put effort into painting my nails just to have it ruin itself! Love that combo though :)
ReplyDeleteI really liked the colour combo too! I may try it again and hope it doesn't bubble.
DeleteBummer about that! Sometimes mine bubble if I do coats that are too thick. :)
ReplyDeleteYeah I'm thinking that's what happened. There were four coats of nail polish on the yellow nails...I probably need to use less.
