Happy Monday everybody!
I have to admit, I wasn't looking forward to this weeks theme. It's Metallic and I just don't do metallic polish. I don't own a lot, I don't like them and they just don't work with my skintone. Somehow, this finish makes me look dead and who wants that? So I contemplates skipping this week, but I really enjoy our little Mani Monday group, so I opted to follow in Lu's footsteps and work around this weeks theme and give it my own little twist.
I just tweaked the theme a little, I only added 1 lettre and made it Metallica!
I love my rock bands and I have listened to Metallica for... oh, I can't even remember, it's been that long! It's still one of the best concerts I have ever been to. So a little tribute to them on my nails sounded like a great plan!
I have to admit, I started off really well, but the end result leaves something to be desired... But still, I think it's a fun mani and at least I'm giving you a good chuckle!
I used 4 polishes to get this look on my nails:
Lapiz of Luxury, The Boy next door, My boyfriend scales walls, Icicle |
After this dried, I added 1 coat of Boy and dabbed it with saran warp to create a marble effect. I actually really liked it after this stage, so I think I will be doing that again, but for now, it was time to ruin a perfectly nice mani with some lightning and an M.
I did a base of Boyfriend for the lightning and then added Icicle to make it sparkle (and it's a real metallic, so I did stick to the original theme, yeeh!) and finally, I drew the Metallica M on my ring finger as an accent nail. Et voila! Metallica nails!
Of course, I can't do this post, without adding the picture that was my inspiration! (picture from google)
Do you rock the Metallic(a) polish?
