instructions: paint one layer of platinum prime and allow to dry. paint colored polishes as desired and sweep the brush through the other colors that are already placed on the nail to create the ombre effect.
precautions: it's easy for the colors to get muddy, so try to plan out or strategize how you're applying the different colors [i had to redo my right thumb because of this, but used the same general design idea]. keep acetone and q-tips or an old makeup brush handy for clean up, you will get polish on your skin, no matter what you do. make sure the nail is dry before applying topcoat.
review:
- positives: there's a definite learning curve to this set if you're not already used to doing something like this (i.e. a nail artist or something). i started with my left hand, and i tried following the instructions inside. for the rest of my fingers, i drew inspiration from the various designs on the box. as i mentioned above, it's easy to get the colors muddy if you aren't careful in your application. otherwise it's a really fun set to play around with because it has the three primary colors plus purple, and i love how the metalic-ness of the silver shows through the colored polishes.
- negatives: one thing i don't like about this set is the yellow because it's easy to get the other colors mixed into the bottle. since the instructions are to drag the brush through the other polishes, it's easy to pick up some of the color onto the brush. so if you finish off with the yellow--which is obviously the lightest shade, it's possible that you will accidentally place the brush back into the bottle before wiping it off and getting the other colors mixed into it.
