Nearly But Not Quite // April 2020 Nail Fails

It's been a while since the last nail fail post; and boy April was not a good month for me nail art-wise. There really was an attempt. I have 5 looks from April to show that I just don't feel are that great; none of them deserve their own post so I've been collecting them for a nail fail post.

Let's begin.

Arabic Space

I don't know what to say. I was messing around with the watercolour polishes from Nicole Diary and this happened. I then added the stamping design on top followed by a matte top coat. I then got bored of that and added a holo top coat. This is what happens when you have no restraint.

Coming Up Tropical

This was inspired by a bottle of shimmering body spray I saw whilst browsing the eternal Hollister sale page. I'm planning to re-do this because it did not turn out how I wanted. Sometimes I just rush looks to get them done when I should practice them first beforehand. I like the negative space but I just don't feel like the colours compliment each other.

Geometric Pastel

This started out well (apart from my awful nail folds looking crusty as hell). I smooshed all the pastel shades on top for this nice water colour looking design and then I ruined it by poorly stamping whatever I wanted on top. I really hate it when the stamps clearly look like they've just been placed on top instead of blending in a little.

Peru Flowers

I originally painted each nail a colour from the OPI Peru set that I had...then got bored and stamped random shit on top. It's a problem; I just can't leave a bare mani alone. I think this would've looked good if the background wasn't so busy.

Strawberry Mandalas

I don't think there's really anything awful about this look but I just don't feel it deserves it's own post. To pink is just too pink for my liking. Also, whenever I place mandalas at the tip of my nail it just looks like doilies. It looks great on others though.
