Tri Polish Challenge day 4

Mornin'!

Last day of this month's TPC and I have to say I'm super happy with how all of my manicures turned out, for once! For the final day this month, I went with a fish scale dotticure using my coral, green and purple, and adding silver in the form of GOSH Holographic Hero. I love how well it turned out, and how the addition of a little bit of holo really makes it look fish scaley. And the sun even came out long enough for me to get a semi-decent pic.



So, that concludes the Tri Polish Challenge for March! Can you believe it's almost April? Next month's colours are pink, turquoise and orange, so I better get my thinking cap on!

  3. Fish scale is such a boring description - I'd call it mermaid instead. A much more lovely name for such a fabulous mani!

  9. That fish scales effect is very striking. Did you just do random dots with a dotting tool in a fairly straight line one colour at a time or just overlap the colours as you went?

    1. Thanks for your question Natalie, I'm glad you liked it! First I painted the nail with a coat od the holo polish and then put a blob of each colour onto a piece of tin foil. I used a medium dotting tool and dotted in a fairly straight line starting at the cuticle, just doing one or two dots before wiping the dotting tool off on a paper towel, and keep going until the whole nail is covered. I'm thinking of filming another tutorial for it so keep an eye out!
