Picture Polish ~ Hussy and
Denim
- Lines
Today I’m practicing doing lines. Straight lines that it. It looks so
easy, but it can be pretty damn tricky in my opinion. I used two polishes from
Picture Polish to practice with: Hussy and Denim, and also an ordinary white
striper polish from Claire’s.
Here’s the mani I ended up with:
I started out with two coats of Hussy, a lovely red-tone purple with
scattered holo effect and flakies. I was thrilled to see it be opaque after the
first coat! I applied a second coat to see if it made a difference, but it
didn’t. So yes, Hussy is a one coater! ♥ Drying time is good too. Take a look at how amazing it looks:
And the little flakies come to life in lower
lights, that’s a huge score!
First I made the vertical stripe with Denim.
It’s a dusky blue with silver shimmer and it’s opaque enough to make nail art
like this. Then I outlined those lines with white before I painted the
horizontal blue lines and outlined those as well. I didn’t topcoat it.
I also love this I low lights!
Practice makes one hell of a difference, so I’ll
definitely keep practicing. How do you think I did?
Number of coats: 2 (but 1
is enough)
Drying time: Fast
Drying time: Fast
Finish: Scattered holo with
flakies / shimmer
Overall impression: I love both of them, they’re great and beautiful polishes!

Oh, lines are so hard! I try to practice on them too from time to time but it's not easy! I think your lines look great!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much. I'll definitely practice some more :)
DeleteStraight lines ARE hard. We aren't surgeons :D I like your mani a lot, you created a ribbon.
ReplyDeleteThank you! :) It's true that we aren't surgeons, but sometimes it would be nice with a steadier hand :D
DeleteOh, I like this mani a lit - it's really beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThe trick about lines is not to think, have a relaxed wrist and not too much paint on the brush - nor too little... ;)
Thank you :D I'll definitely bear all that in mind :)
DeleteYou're really good at making lines, I'm sooo bad at that, maybe because I'm not practicing at it. ;-)
ReplyDeleteHahaha, yeah well, that might be the case! I shall continue my practicing :)
DeleteThose a beautiful colours! There's a reason PP is one of my favourite brands! My trick to lines is luck. Some days I can kind of do it, other days it looks like a drunk monkey tried to do my nails.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Hahahaha, I know that drunk monkey, she paints my nails all the time, hahahaha!!! :D
DeleteI have never tried to paint lines - looks pretty hard. I like your design and you did well!
ReplyDeleteAww, thank you, I appreciate it :)
DeleteThese two look really pretty :-) Nice mani, I think you've done brilliantly :-)
ReplyDeleteYou're so sweet, thank you :)
DeleteI've been there, for me painting a straight line is impossible... Though your mani looks great, good job! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, I'm pleased to hear that :)
