Chalkboard mani

Posted on June 7, 2013 by Polish Alcoholic

Happy Friday loves!

This mani is inspired by the chalkboard manicure kit that Ciaté released a while back. I started this mani with two coats of Liquid Leather by China Glaze. Then I used a small striper and white nail polish to create the the different designs. After that was completely dry I painted the white designs with four different (neon) shades (names below). Before I added the matte top coat, I sealed the design with one coat of Seche Vite. Matte top coat has the tendency to let the design ‘bleed’. Obviously, you don’t want that.
And voila:colors used:
Liquid leather by China Glaze (base)
Keepin’ it teal by China Glaze (teal) *
Isle see you later by China Glaze (blue) *
Shell-o by China Glaze (pink) *
That’s shore bright by China Glaze (purple) *

What do you think of this mani?

    Actually, you know, now that I have tried it, I’m kinda disappointed… I’ll put up a full review in the next couple of days, but it’s not a patch on your chalkboard mani! The quality is pretty patchy 😦

    Ohhh 😦 that’s such a pity. I’ll be on the look out for your post 😉
