Tri-Polish Challenge Tuesdays: Acetone Art


Ello lovelies!!

I hope your Monday didn't treat you to poorly, mine was pretty decent. I bought tickets yesterday to see Paramore and Fall Out Boy in concert together for this summer!! I'm so excited, it's been almost 4 years since I've seen Paramore live!! :D

Anyways, onto the nails!

Remember that this month's Tri Polish Challenge colors are red, orange, and yellow!

Here's what I used:

These nails were inspired by this pattern that I found on Pinterest! That link leads to Ashley Goldberg's Flickr which is filled with some awesome patterns, definitely check her out!

To do these nails, I painted my base and let it dry. I then painted some yellow stripes on with the bottle brush and took a fan brush dipped in acetone to fan out the color. My yellow sections probably could have been a little thinner but oh well. The dots were done with a q-tip soaked in acetone, I like that they kind of look like flowers! I might have to try that one of these days!

These were really quick to paint and I love the effect! I'm not a huge fan of the colors together, the yellow get a little murky. But I like the effect you get when you mix acetone and polish together, it's fun to experiment!
