Nails I Love
Camouflage Nails …. Au purple
Hi Goddesses
I have wanted to do camouflage nails for the longest time as they think they look awesome.
A couple of months ago I dabbled on a nail wheel and they looked shit lol, so I abandoned the dream. Since then, the idea has still kept me drooling, especially as it’s the wallpaper on my ipod Touch.
So last night I decided I’d have another try and holy mother of all the nail gods – I loves !!! I don’t know what you think, but I think I pulled it off!
Things you need to know –
- I used Sally Hansen Delphinium for the base and then OPI Parlez Vous OPI and Planks A Lot for the colours
- I think these look best when your base is milky rather than bright
- As so often, the trick is to find 3 colours that perfectly complement each other. As soon as I reswatched Parlez Vous OPI the other day, I KNEW she’d be perfect for this, and she was
- Know your skills – personally (and I have no idea why) I am better with a dotting tool than a brush. I just find it much easier to get the colour in a depth that I want, so I used a medium dotting tool
- Don’t be afraid for your patterns to overlap – this is sometimes when camouflage looks its best
In real life this really did look purple, albeit a nice muted grurple. Some of the photos have gone a little beigey, but hopefully you get the idea.
I think I might do one a week of these for a while – they’re simple, you get to wear 3 awesome colours at once, and they make me smile J you can’t ask more than that!
Enjoy J

Top Tip – if you’re ever unsure what a nail colour looks like, go to Google images, which will give you plenty of contrasts and compares.
