And that's why, for this mani, I combined my love of nails with my other loves in life: shooting and hunting and other redneck-ery.
I have to admit, I totally forgot to take pics of this when I first did it, so I debated putting them on at all, as there's some pretty severe tip wear at this point (also VERY dry cuticles). But in the end I couldn't resist, so here's my redneck camo nails =]
After applying my Zoya Get Even base coat, I started with a base coat of Essie Sew Psyched, which is a gorgeous faded olive drab with a hint of pearly shimmer. Then I used a dotting tool to apply the camo shapes using Orly Wandering Vine and the creme side of my Revlon Moon Candy in Universe. I should have left it at that, but I had to see what it would look like with a little bling, so I then applied a layer of China Glaze Fairy Dust to just my ring fingers as an accent. I don't love the look but oh, well. Now camo is not shiny, people. To really make this look authentic, I topped it all off with NYC Matte Me Crazy mattifying top coat.
What do you think??
