Geometry- Polish Days September
Hello everyone!
 |
| Geometry- Polish Days September |
On Polish Days, once a month, we all try to make a manicure and post it at the same time. Some weeks before, Polly Polish tells us what the theme/ task is, so that we have some time to think and prepare. And today our theme is GEOMETRY.

What I did:
This manicure is what gave me the idea. Thank you Nail Crazy! I did exactly as she did:

First I painted my nails with base coat, then the background color. I used 3-4 coats of Deborah Lippmann Wicked Game. (3 would have been enough if I hadn't used my hands a lot, so that it didn't look good any more.) The reason why I did the base color the day before was that I wanted to make sure that it was completely dry before working with the tape. I painted stripes of the chosen nail polishes on the tape, and when that was dry, I used the scissors to cut out triangles, squares and rectangles. (Circles was too difficult). I put the little pieces on a plastic bag, before I tried to place them randomly on the nails. (Some of those pieces of nail polish separated from the tape, so I had to use a little base coat (with a dotting tool) to glue them to the nail.) I chose to finish one nail before starting on the next. And then I sealed it with top coat.

The last week I thought a lot about which polishes would work best together. In the end I thought that if I just used polishes that I like very much, it would turn out good. I also wanted to use cruelty- free polishes, and that made it more difficult to choose. First I thought about using different shades of purple, then to use only one brand. I decided to use all my Deborah Lippmann nail polishes because they are more different than my OPIs. And because I haven't shown all of them on the blog yet. And because the glitters have a hexagonal shape, so that I could add even more geometri to the manicure. Now that I have seen the result, I wish I didn't use that many polishes. 4 or 5 would probably look better.
