OPI Who the Shrek are You? and FIMO Nail Art Canes

I recently discovered really cute nail art using FIMO canes, and decided I wanted to try it out. I bought a bundle of nail art canes from Bundle Monster on Amazon, and sliced them as thin as I could using a razor blade and a cutting mat.

I applied a base coat of OPI Nail Envy, and three coats of OPI Who the Shrek are You?, followed by a diagonal french tip in white acrylic paint (which I would not recommend for full coverage...it is very streaky) alternating the angle on every other nail. I used a dotting tool to place the polka dots over the white in Shrek green. After letting this dry, I placed a stripe of Seche Vite over the line of the two colors and placed the FIMO cane slices along it using tweezers. I then painted over the FIMO cane slices with Seche Vite, as well as the rest of the nail. After this dried completely, I painted one more top coat of Seche Vite over the entire nail.

Here are the results:

I have only had this on for one day. So far, none of the slices have budged. I'm not sure I will be able to keep this on, though. The flowers are a bit bulky and they definitely protrude - which feels strange when my other fingers graze it. I think my next attempt will have fewer cane slices on each nail.

Hope you like it!

Plaid with OPI Greenwich Village, OPI Hey! Get in Lime! and Sally Henson Nail Art Pen in Black

This manicure is a hand-drawn plaid with OPI Greenwich Village, OPI Hey! Get in Lime! and Sally Henson Nail Art Pen in black. I started with a base coat of Greenwich Village and then drew alternating diamonds using Hey! Get in Lime! and a small paintbrush and the nail art pen in black to create the plaid illusion. Base coat was OPI Nail Envy and top coat was Seche Vite.

Hope you like it!

NotD - OPI Girls Just Want To Play

Today's manicure is three coats of OPI Girls Just Want To Play, with Konad M64 stamping in Konad Special Polish in White. Top coat is Seche Vite. I'd recommend letting the stamps dry a bit before applying the top coat, as it's kinda hard to not smudge them.
