Today, as promised, I have my first mani for the Nail Art A-Go-Go Challenge I am participating in. Today's prompt is Achromatic, which means grey-scale or lacking colour. I started out with 1 coat of OPI's Black Onyx (yes I finally broke down and got a good black, this is really opaque and none streaky).
I was really pleased with my first use of this as a base for this art. Once Black Onyx was dry I decided to use part of a plastic bag and some different grey's to create a variation of the Saran Wrap technique.
The colours I used were all Color Clubs, Lady Holiday, a light grey is part of the Harlem Lights collection, Shabby Drab, a mid-toned grey with a slight purple undertone, and Silver Lake, the bright silver(also an awesome stamping polish).
I love the dimension the silver gives these nails and ended up liking them so much I did my other hand and wore them for a few days. When I do these again I think I will add some splotches of the black on top of the grey to give it even more dimension.
That is all for today, I will be back tomorrow with Day 2, Jewel Tones.
Until then, polish happy!
