Effect Beauty has sent me a ton a goodies to play with and share with you all and today we have a very simple nail art using one of their nail art brushes and their silver Mylar flakes.
Today I wanted to show you all a nail art that can be done using a flat brush. I usually save these for clean up brushes but I wanted to try out something different this time.
I used 3 different coloured acrylic paints.
The paints I used are just a cheap set from The Works. If you don't use acrylic paints then please look into them and give them a try. I used to struggle with nail art until I started using paints. They cover better and I personally think more is achievable with them.
ON TO THE NAILS......
The brushes seemed alot nicer quality than the cheap ones on eBay. They are softer and I can wait to try more of them out!
They come in a set of 5.
The Mylar Flakes come in a bag of 5g but going by the tiny amount I use for this, that's going to last a LOOONNNGG time!
I used the brush to "scrub" the colour onto the nail.
Do not overload the acrylic paint on the brush. It needs to have like minimal paint on the bristles.
I then placed Mylar onto one corner using topcoat to stick it. It reminds me of a mermaid!
I used an unnamed light greeny blue Color Club polish for the base. The glitter polish is Laugh Myself Lily by KBShimmer, matted.
I really like this nail art. It really does remind me of the sea or mermaids, Its so easily achieved too.
