Morning lovelies! Hope you’re not having a too rough or caffeine deprived Monday. Today I’ve got a manicure to share with you today featuring Fish Scale nail art stencils (item #23535).
I’ve come to discover my love affair with nail vinyls and nail stencils in the last year so I was very excited when I was contacted to review some items by Born Pretty. I’ve always had very good expirences with their products and these nail stencils were no different.
Each sheet comes with 12 stencils all attached on a clear backing. I pre-cut the six stencils I was going to use, then one by one applied each over my base colour that was completely dry. These stencils are much thinner than I’m used to with other vinyls (they’re made of a thin holographic material) but we’re very easy to place and apply.
Once I had my stencils where I liked them, I trimmed the excess off the tips and started sponging on my colours of choice.
The polishes I used for this manicure were:
- OPI Miss You-neverse (base colour)
- Essence Best Dressed
- Quo by Orly Celestial Stars
- Color Club Obsessed
- Essie Good to Go
- Butter London Matte top coat.
Once all your colours have been sponged on and you feel good about them, quickly remove the stickers from the nail leaving behind your scale pattern. Apply top coat (I used both quick dry top coat and a matte top coat for mine) and it’s time to enjoy.
I just absolutely adore how this mani turned out, and I feel like the matte top coat just brings the whole mani to the next level.
