I tried to paint angel wings, and I did not start that bad, but I needed to build the layers, and with every layer wings become wider and less appealing...
Let me start form beginning. I used two different polishes as a base. I used Nina Professional - French Ivory, sheer almost nude, because I did not wanted it to be stark but soft background for the angel wings. On rest of the nails I applied Zoya - Ginni - matte textured Pixie dust. You may wonder why would I put pink on manicure that would remind me of my dad? Simple- my dad was born in October, and his birth stone is Pink Tourmaline. As you can see, there is symbolism in every aspect of this manicure. I even added a halo using Jade Holografico - Mystic gold. I really liked how this was developing, and painted wings showed so much depth and detail, when I had this brilliant ( or not so brilliant) idea to add holographic topper, and make wings appear ethereal... big mistake. This just made all the detail disappear. I guess it was not as sheer as I was hoping it will be. There was no way for me to know that , as this was one of untried polishes GGal - Green suede shoes, and name is killing me. Polish is white in the bottle, and it may have green holographic flare, but it is still white holographic polish...that looked quite sheer in the bottle... And that is not even worse thing - after all of this, I was not able to photograph rainbow in that polish!
Well it just fall apart from here, as I was trying to fix my mistake, and adding some polish for head did not help...
I will just go now and try not to cry for not being able to translate in nail art how I feel about my dad. Only saving grace is that he knows how much I love him, and that I gave it my best...
Love you daddy.
