Textured geometric nail art

Hi lovelies,

Happy Monday.  Did you have a good weekend?  What did you get up to?  I was bragging about the lovely weather we have been having lately and as luck would have it, we have had cool and rainy weather the whole weekend 😛  That will teach me right?  It was a good excuse to get a last snuggle in before the humidity hits us in full force.  

I have been lacking a bit of inspiration lately so I have been hitting my ever growing pinterest boards to get some creative juices flowing.  I saw this geometric design from The Nailasaurus and knew I had to use the pattern.  So let me show you what I came up with.

I started with 2 coats of China Glaze – Stella on all my nails.  Once that was completely dry I used striping tape to mark out the design on my middle and index fingers.  I then added Zoya – Godiva one nail at a time and removed the striping tape immediately.  I top coated the nails without texture and called it a day.

I really liked this but I think I am going to try this again without texture. What do you think?

I am slowly but surely working my way through my polishes and swatching them as I use them.  I will be adding all the swatches to my ‘Swatches‘ pages where they are sorted alphabetically by brand.  On that note, let me show you the polishes used today.

China Glaze – Stella

This is 2 coats with no topcoat.  This polish really looks like it glows.  It is a plum / magenta packed with shimmer and is absolutely stunning.  You can see on the right hand sides of my nails how the shimmer just lights up when it catches the light.  I am obsessed.

Zoya – Godiva

You’ve seen Godiva often here and it is still one of my favourite polishes.  This is 2 coats with no topcoat.  A nude / gold glitter texture that is so gorgeous.  I love it!

What do you think about these? Would you combine them?  Do you have any suggestions for my inspiration block?

Thanks for reading,
