Happy Monday guys! How was your weekend? I went to a Grey Cup game yesterday, though I didn't understand football and only started to follow how the game works on the third quarter, I still quite enjoyed it. Live sporting event is always fun to go to!
Anyway, I finally bought some acrylic paints to play with. I have to admit I was struggling with it. I couldn't paint thin and smooth lines with it, it's definitely a learning process.
Today's mani is another brown & pink combo. I googled pink damask pattern, and there's one that I really like, the design I painted today is a simplified version of it.
The base is 2 coats of OPI Love Is Hot And Coal. I mixed a red and white acrylic paints to get the pink shade. Sealed off the design with HK Girl top coat.
I like the finished look of these, but they could use more work, look rough and sloppy to me (sorry about the tiny drop of water there, I totally didn't see that until I was editing the pics!). I definitely will be practicing more using acrylic paints. Any tips and trick you have in using it, please feel free to share! :)

Beautiful and so detailed! <3
ReplyDeleteAcrylic paint definitely gets easier the more you use it. I really love your mani.
ReplyDeleteI have to really use acrylics. I never have and I think it would make my life so much easier. These look beautiful.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great job for your first time using acrylic paint. I need to play around with it more myself, since when I do attempt it it's a mess.
ReplyDeleteI think you did a great job! Acrylic paints are definitely a bit different, but I love that they are more opaque and they don't bleed and run when you topcoat them.
ReplyDeleteI love this mani! Your detail is so delicate and pretty :) I really want to start using acrylic paint in nail art too.
ReplyDeleteOhhhhh! I love the color combo! I love using acrylic paints,they are a lot of fun and affordable.
ReplyDeleteI'd much rather go to a sporting event in person than watch on tv - it's so much more fun in real life. :) Great manicure!
