We're walking in the air...

The only thing the air was in my house yesterday was blue I'm ashamed to say.  I started these nails originally in acrylic.  The original set were beautiful, finely detailed and the sky was gorgeous.  Then I applied a clear W7 topcoat.  I've not used that brand with acrylic paint before and its something I won't do again.  As I watched the topcoat dry I watched the paint underneath crack and flake.  I was gutted.

So this is version 2, all in polish this time, though I will have to revisit the acrylic version simply because I'm just not happy with the detail on the winter scenery nails.  In fact, I'm not overly happy with these as a whole, but I thought I'd share them anyway.


Ok, small edit.  Because I'm bloody stubborn I went back, started again with acrylics and I am infinitely happier with this set of nails...

  2. Aww thank you. I was so annoyed because the originals were lovely. Still, not to be beaten I have redone the originals in acrylic and a different topcoat and now Im happy :)

    1. I can imagine. I get upset enough if top-coat smudges some very basic designs. Haha.
