Day 45 - Stained glass window nail art!

Happy Good Friday all. Hope you've had a nice relaxing day like I have and have had the chance to reflect a bit on what this day means to you. I was inspired this morning by the stained glass windows at church and thought it would be a good idea for today's nail art. Check it out:

Stained Glass Window inspired Nail Art


You may remember the Autumn leaf nail art that I did a while ago. I used used the same technique to achieve the base colours here by using two different colours for each nail; That's Hot Pink and OPI Need Sunglasses? on every second nail, alternating with Green-wich Village and OPI Need Sunglasses? on the others. I love how this looks!!




The base colours (above from left to right): That's Hot! Pink, OPI Need Sunglasses and Green-wich Village. I then used a nail art stencil plate for the black pattern over the top with a black Konad polish. Here's the plate I used (bottom stencil):


And now for some more swatches . . .





I had a lot of trouble with my middle finger for some reason. It just didn't want to work and by the fourth try I gave up. I realise the black has bled a little and the art is a little wonky and off but I just got so impatient with myself and waiting for the polish to dry before I could do the stamp over the top so this will have to do! Please just disregard this nail! Apart from that, they turned out pretty well. Not sure how much they resemble stained glass windows but I liked the idea and wanted to give it a go nonetheless.

Only two more posts to go! Hope you are having a nice Easter weekend and I'll see you tomorrow!
