Zig Zag & Polka Dot Mani

affiliate linkspurchased by me This is the mani that I’ve been wearing this week. I love that it feels bright and spring-y. I picked out these three colors as I thought they’d look nice together, sat down at my nail station and ended up coming up with this. The three colors used are: Gelaze Purple Panic, a gorgeous bright pink with a slight purple shimmer; ibd Hollywood Royalty, a blue-ish purple (or purple-ish blue, I can’t tell) with a shimmer finish; and Gelish Oh What A Knight, a metallic bronze shimmer. Here’s what I did for each nail.

• Index finger: Two coats of Purple Panic, dotted with Oh What a Knight.
• Middle finger: I did a purple glitter gradient into the tacky layer of my foundation gel. You can watch this video to see how a glitter gradient is done. Unfortunately I have no idea what this glitter is called since I got it for free and it has no label.
• Ring finger (& thumb): I applied one coat of Oh What a Knight (great coverage), and then a thin coat of my Gelish top coat, cured and wiped off the tacky layer. I applied two chevron decals that I got from Etsy onto my nails, pressing them down really well from edge to edge and painted on the pink and purple colors and cured. After curing, I pulled off the decals at a sharp angle and top coated.
• Pinky finger: Three coats of Hollywood Royalty, dotted with Oh What a Knight.

The first photo is more color accurate. The second is a bit too bright and Hollywood Royalty looks more blue than it is.
