Illamasqua scarab with corset design

 

Illamasqua- scarab

Opi-burlesque collection- rising star

Black nail art pen

 

Ok so I know illamasqua is an expencive  bottle of nail polish @ £13.50 but I had to have this one as soon a s I saw it I was lucky enough to pick it up as part of a 2pc gift set on asos.com the set came with 2 nail polishes from the art of darkness collection they were viridian there easiest way to describe that one is peacock colour (blue/green shift) its beautiful the other colour was scarab a pretty copper/brown with a dark red shimmer they wear fairly well and only need 2 coats . The gold colour is one of the minis from the opi burlesque collection rising star

All I did was paint a base colour all over then let it completely dry crossed over 2 French tip guides and placed them down the centre of each nail

Paint down each side with the 2^nd colour, you can remove the guides pretty much right away in fact its better if you do coz if you have any seeping under the guides you can clean it up while its still wet which is easier

Let that dry then add a cross design up the middle for a corset effect

Use your fav top coat I recommend seche vite speed dry, china glaze fast forward or sally Hansen insta dry and your done
