Villainy and Virtue

I asked Alison of Candied Apple Polish to create a custom Apple for me based on Alex Minsky's back tattoo.  If you recall, I've been inspired by it before.  I love the lines and the colours and so Villainy and Virtue was born.

This is the first design I've tried with it.

• Start with a good quality base coat
• Using a good opaque black stamping polish, stamp the design on the bare nail.  I used Suki plate 6 from Mo-You London.
• Let it dry.  For a while. Be patient!
• Once it's dry, apply two thin coats of V&V, adding glitter if you feel you need it.  The trick is to make sure the jelly coats are thin!
• Apply a fast dry topcoat.
• Tidy up if required!

 Another option I like to use with glitter jellies is to use a matte top coat.
