Darling Diva ~ Tina the
Labradorite, Space Beetle and Early Riser
An attempt of making a lightening mani
Sometimes it’s nice to try something new – so I decided to try and make
a lightning mani. This is my first attempt, and it shows, haha. Let me show you
what I’m talking about:
What do you think about that? The base colour is Tina The Labradorite, a
lovely vibrant blue from November 2014’s Sweet Addictions Box – check out
swatches of it here. I sponged a bit of Space Beetle on (the bottle I’m
holding in the picture), then freehanded the lightnings with a white crème
polish from Savina called French White. When the lightnings were done I sponged
a bit of Early Riser by the base of my nails, where the lightnings origins
from.
This is my favourite picture of it:
And here is Tina the Labradorite on its own:

If there’s one thing nail blogging has taught me then it is that
practice is what it takes to be better. I don’t mind showing off the manis I’m
not completely satisfied with – after all I know that I’m getting a little bit
better for every time I try.
Tina the Labradorite is the perfect background for the lightening mani :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you think so, thank you :)
DeleteThe background is lovely - I see Savina :) I have some Savinas. I show manis I'm not 100% satisfied with too.
ReplyDeleteIt just proves that you need to practice to get better, so that's what I'm trying to do :)
DeleteI can see lightening, its not perfect but it's good for a first go. I like it when you show us manis that you feel aren't perfect because it encourages the rest of us to have a go at something new.
ReplyDeleteThank you, that's sweet of you :)
DeleteIt's actually also fun to take a stroll down Memory Lane and see how much I've improved over time. It's nice :)
Nice mani, I do like that blue :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you for making me smile :)
DeleteI love the lightening!! Nice blue!
ReplyDeleteYou're too kind, thank you :)
