It is once again #RedCoatTuesday ! and you all know what that means! Red nails! I used Load Lacquer Watermelon for my red look, and the polish name is what inspired today's nails!
First things first, I know they aren't very PLL as far as sultry goes, but it is summer, and a lot of my looks thus far have leaned toward fall/winter. I really wanted to get some red nails in that were summer appropriate, and when I picked up Loaded Lacquer Watermelon, it was a done deal!
To get this look, I started with a base of Loaded Lacquer Watermelon on my thumb (not shown) pointer, and pinky fingers, and a base of OPI Jade is the New Black on my middle and ring fingers. Once the green fingers were dry to the touch, I got out a make-up sponge and sponged OPI Jade is the New Black, Zoya Josie and Sally Hansen Mint Sorbet onto those nails. I free-handed the tip of my thumb, middle and pinky fingers using Jade is the New Black, and used a white stripping polish to put in the white stripe along the green tip. I used a dotting tool with Cult Nails Nevermore to put in the seeds. I then placed the watermelon fimo pieces using an orange wood stick and some topcoat.
I am really pleased with how these came out. If you have been here a while you know I struggle a bit with freehand, so to be able to see how much my skills have improved in the last year, is just astounding to me, and I can't wait to see the progress another year from now.
Alright guys and gals, I think that covers most of it for today. I hope that you all are having an awesome sauce Tuesday, don't forget to indulge on Pretty Little Liars tonight, and also to check out all the other awesome Red Coat Tuesday looks! Till next time Kittens! <3
