Distressed Nails

Pre tačno šest meseci sam imala čast i zadovoljstvo da budem kuma srednjoškolskoj drugarici, partneru u kafanisanju i društvenim igrama i koleginici zahvaljujući kojoj sam našla svoj prvi stalan posao. Zbog pandemije je proslava bila veoma mala, ali zato veoma prisna. Izašla sam malo iz svog uobičajenog crnila i nosila sam medenu šarenu bluzu te su i nokti morali da se slažu sa njom.

Exactly six months ago I had the honour and pleasure to be maid of honour to a highschool friend, drinking and boardgaming buddy and a person thanks to whom I found my first permanent job. Because of the pandemic, the guest list was extremely short, which made the entire day more intimate and truly lovely. I stepped out of my usual black clothes and I wore a cute colourful blouse, so my nails had to match.

Ovo je bio skittlette manikir koji sam počela tako što sam na palac, kažiprst i mali prst nanela po dva sloja Morgan Taylor All White Now, a na srednji i domali prst sam stavila po dva sloja Morgan Taylor Little Black Dress. Potom sam tehnikom suve četkice nanosila boje iz OPI Color Paints seta. Da bi se boje videle na crnoj osnovi, morala sam da istom tehnikom prvo nanesem belu boju. Krajnjim izgledom sam bila veoma zadovoljna. Da, šaren je i veseo, ali takođe neuredan, nasumičan i sa dovoljnom dozom crne boje da ide uz mene.

This was a skittlette mani that I started by painting my thumb, pointer and pinkie with two coats of Morgan Taylor All White Now, and applying to coats of Morgan Taylor Little Black Dress on my middle and ring fingers. Then I dry-brushed polishes from OPI Color Paints set over them. In order to make those colours pop on black, I had to use the same technique to apply some white first. I was very happy with the finished look. Yes, it is colourful and cheery, but it is also messy and random and with just enough black to match my style.
