Autumn Tribal Mix & Match

Finally, here I am to show you a bit more of the tribal nails I used for my header!
I've been wanting to do these for so long now, but I knew it would take me quite a bit of time to get these done, and like I said before...I'm really lazy sometimes! xD Anyway, I was bored and watching Doctor Who the other night (just started watching it), when I decided it was time to try it. I had no idea of what I wanted to do, or how, all I knew was that I wanted to use these exact colours, so I just picked them up, and went with the flow...

Finalmente, cá estou eu para vos mostrar mais um pouco das unhas tribais que coloquei no cabeçalho do blog! Era algo que queria fazer já há algum tempo, mas sabia que era coisa para demorar, e como já disse antes...às vezes sou mesmo preguiçosa! xD De qualquer maneira, no outro dia à noite, estava eu aborrecida e a ver Doctor Who (estou mesmo a começar a ver), quando decidi que era este o momento para experimentar. Não fazia a mínima ideia do que queria fazer, nem como, só sabia que queria usar estas cores, então peguei nelas e deixei-me levar pela imaginação.

I started by doing the tribal pattern on my ring and index finger, I felt like I should stop there and do something different on my other fingers, or I'd risk thinking it was too much and not liking it in the end...I added some random dots on my pinky (not too happy with those, they could look better) and a gradient on my middle finger and thumb. I didn't follow any tutorial for the tribal, but Lucy, from Lucy's Stash, has a great one for this kind of gradient here.

Comecei por fazer o padrão tribal no meu anelar e indicador e achei por bem parar por ai e fazer algo diferente nos restantes dedos, ou correria o risco de achar que tinha sido demais e não gostar no final...Adicionei umas bolinhas  à sorte no mindinho (não estou muito satisfeita com estas, acho que poderiam estar melhores) e um gradiente no médio e polegar. Não segui nenhum tutorial para o tribal, mas a Lucy, do blog Lucy's Stash, tem um óptimo tutorial para este tipo de gradiente aqui







It's not perfect, I can see some flaws, but all this was done with a simple striping brush and a dotting tool, and I'm not too great with either of those...Also, my top coat (I used Better Than Gel Nails by Essence here) decided that my mani was missing some bubbles here and there, not good... -.-'

Não está perfeito, consigo ver umas falhinhas mas isto foi tudo feito com um pequeno pincel de nail art (daqueles de fazer riscas, por incrivel que pareça, não sei o nome em português) e um boleador, e eu não sou muito boa com nenhum destes instrumentos. No final, o meu top coat (usei o BTGN) decidiu que faltava, na minha manicure, umas bolhinhas aqui e ali... -.-'

Here's a bonus photo of my right hand, I only did the gradient there, as that was simple enough for me to do with my left hand. By the way, this and the header image (photo of the left hand, but mirrored) where taken in a Blanco fitting room, with a gorgeous top I found there! And no, I didn't buy it...

Aqui têm uma foto de bonús da minha mão direita. Só fiz o gradiente nesta, já que era simples o suficiente para ser feito com a mão esquerda. Já agora, esta e a foto do cabeçalho (que é da mão esquerda, mas está espelhada) foram tiradas num provador da Blanco, com um top lindo que encontrei por lá! E não, não o comprei...

  4. Beautiful job, Raquel! The colors look amazing together and I just love how you did the gradient as a full mani on one hand and an accent on the other.
