eyeshadow for nail art? 😯💗💅🏻

[@gracieghannam3957]

Believe it or not, I really like the colour. Props to you for not giving up 👏

[@thegraytergood]

glad you like it anyways:) and thanks, y’all said you liked bloopers and I promise it doesn’t come out perfect every time I do nails (this is proof lol) 😉

[@13crowintuitivestarot]

Right! Once that base smudge happened it would’ve been over. Back to my usual polish I go 😂🤣

[@veenarosey5408]

Either way they are stunning but i would let the pink fade more like blend in😊

[@ricabee_08]

I find that when I put eyeshadow on my nails, it sticks better to a matte surface. After I apply the eyeshadow i add a glossy topcoat and it looks great. Hope this helps! ❤

[@thegraytergood]

Ooooo good to know, ty! I’ve never tried it before so I really didn’t know what I was doing - will definitely try the matte topcoat next time 🫡🫶

[@Kibella]

​@@thegraytergood I actually have the same pallette, and I will say the pigment is difficult to apply without rubbing or applying pressure, so it could be that too

[@VondaInWonderland]

Thanks. This is a must try, I have so many amazing pallettes, but I rarely wear makeup ❤

[@aprilsjewel3998]

Was looking for this comment 😉. It’s always better to work on a matte surface.

[@mykahh]

Matte top coat also works well to fix dents in polish! Layer of matte then layer of whatever color you were trying to fix and it fills the gouged out space really well without having to start over again

[@FannyctalopeTV]

It works better with gel because you can apply the pigment into the sticky residue, it’s a lot trickier with regular nail polish like you used but the result is really pretty I like it !

[@Cathaersis]

They look amazing! The thing is that 90% of those aura nails are made on the sticky layer of hybrid gel/gel mani, that's why they look different ❤

[@thegraytergood]

Good to know, ty - I def need to try this again 😅

[@morgangreer9096]

@@thegraytergoodI’ve also seen a bunch of these where people put a circle of one color of polish and the background color in a ring around it onto a sponge and dabbed it onto the nail and it looked pretty simple.

[@HookedOnStitches]

[@lunatorresBB]

A tip is I’ve seen most people use a matte coat then put the eyeshadow and if you want it glossy just add a top coat. I’m not a professional but it’s worth a try 🤭💅

[@haileyboutin6532]

i think they’re cute. a cool color would stand out a bit more but this warm color is nice and soft

[@Aurielle_equestrian]

With the eyeshadow I recommend gel bc it works best for me 😊

[@carafischer1229]

It definitely works better on gel because of the sticky layer and the fast that you can really seal in the pigment compared to a regular polish

[@icecrab6852]

@@carafischer1229wait so quick question if I wanted to do this, would it be: (All gel): base, eyeshadow, top coat?? Or Base, normal clear gel polish, eyeshadow, clear, top coat???

[@xelith6157]

​​​@@icecrab6852 I think they were saying gel polish (to make the eyeshadow stick), eyeshadow, and gel on top of that (to seal the eyeshadow better). The base is just preference imo, and if you want to add another top coat on top of the gel (like a holo top coat or something) it can be regular polish. Gel is for adhesion and sealing. That was really complicated, so: basically, sandwich your eyeshadow between coats of gel, the rest doesn't matter. At least that's what I think the person above you meant

@@coconagenius I grow them out by having them always painted and moisturising my cuticles with almond oil or even just hand cream. Also, I never use nail hardener because I found that when my nails stay flexible they break less than when they are hard. I also file them a bit almost every day to keep their shape. I struggle not to bite them if they’re uneven. They reach the length I prefer in 2 months but normally last me 2 months more or so (at full length) before they break. When one breaks I normally can extend their “life” for a week because they normally break through the side and not in a painful way. Good luck

[@leah_marge..]

I think they are cute! But maybe if you do it again you could do a colorful base and a darker version of that color, it might be less intense.

[@thegraytergood]

For sure, I think the pink base was a little too nude and then the color was too red. Just a bad combo overall 😅

[@violetgeetan5616]

this looks so goood

[@jasminelambert3753]

I think it turned out really good! Also I think most people using eyeshadow are using it on top of gel since it’s a little stickier usually than normal nail polish

[@thegraytergood]

That makes so much sense ok I should definitely try again

[@jessicadiaz1460]

They look so pretty

[@BarbieBabeEve]

Thanks for a more detailed explanation of how to do this. I been wondering if I needed gel & a lamp or what type of polish is used as a base lol. I have regular polish only, glad I can try this. I have the same/very similar eyeshadow palette ❤ loving all your nail looks from Canada 🇨🇦❤🤍❤

[@Iquey]

You could try it by adding a drop of isopropyl alcohol to a bit of eheshadow powder and then dab the color that bleeds out onto nails with a q-tip. Regular nail polish color will need something thinner than eyeshadow particles which can make it bumpy.
