A very green guest post from Nail Noise

Hello lovely and beautiful Mixed Mama followers! My name is Crystal and I'm addicted to nail polish and nail art.. oh wait, we all are, that's why we're here! Let me be more specific, I am addicted to GREEN nail polish! I have never met a green or teal I didn't like. So I decided to showcase my insatiable love in the style of a "straw blot manicure". I have seen a few different nail artists around the blogworld use this technique, and I had to try it for myself with my favorite color!



First I applied a base coat of Cosmetic Arts - Goblin Jizz (I named it that myself, there is no actual name), which is a bright granny smith apple green neon-ish beauty that looks like this:

In sunlight

Then I used a straw to blot on circles and half circles all over my nails in varying shades of green and one silver. I used the same process one would with a dotting tool, except with a straw! 

Indoor lighting

The two greens are Innocence by Sinful Colors (the more yellowish one) and Fresh by Orly (the brighter one). The silver is Wet N Wild's Metallica. 

As you can see I got some bubbling, but that was all my top coat's fault. You can only add so much thinner before it bubbles over I guess! 

I hope you all enjoyed this design, and I would love to see any recreations you guys come up with! Thank YOU Miss Jas for being awesome and letting me post all up in your blog! Your stampings are near perfection and your gradiants make me wonder where I went so wrong with my own ;) 

Thanks for reading!
