Hello Lovelies! It's Sunday, and you know what that means...Smooshy Nail Sunday! I love this collaboration, because I love smooshy nails. No two smooshy nails are alike, so its great to see what others come up with based on a simple set of three (sometimes more) colors.
This week's color scheme was Grey, Orange, and Green. I decided to use Cinema Swatch Lacquers 'Smoke and Fire,' this was a limited edition Walking Dead polish they created a couple of years ago that represents Carol, and its just so pretty. I also used China Glaze 'Stop That Train' from last years fall collection. For the green I used the gorgeous dark green holo polish from Sweetpea Polish called 'Enchanted Pine.'
I created my smoosh directly on my nail. I did not take still pictures because it was just to difficult too. However, I will be posting a video nail tutorial of this entire nail design either later tonight (Sunday) or early tomorrow. When I was happy with my smoosh I topped it off with my favorite quick drying topcoat from Together WE Impact.
Once dry, I used these really neat Arrow Dynamic nail vinyls from Polished Vino. They kind of remind me of trees, and since I used 'Enchanted Pine' it seemed kind of fitting. I applied a bit of liquid latex on the exposed area of skin for quicker clean. Than using a makeup sponge I dabbed some black polish within the vinyl. Dabbing the polish instead of applying it with the applicator brush, allows for a smoother finished nail design with less ridging. This helps the nail design last longer and is less likely to chip. I also found that the polish is less likely to flood under the vinyl when using the sponge method.
As always, I finished of the design with a little bit of clean up using gentle acetone and a brush, and applied my Together We Impact scented topcoat. I was uncertain about this color combo but I really love the way these turned out.
