Verdigris Nails
Topic: Nail Art

Today's nail post is not so much nail 'art' but a note on color. Rarely do I ever use only one color on my nails. I prefer to combine colors to create patterns or overlay them to make new colors.

This time I put on two base coats of robin egg blue and overlaid this with two coats of golden glitter polish. Oh yes!

Viewing the blue through the filter of the gold magically creates a greenish hue reminiscent of weathered copper. This verdigris finish has a lot of depth to it and quite a bit of shine.

I always finish up with clear topcoat and a quickdry liquid that also conditions the cuticles.

Here is a closeup of the nails.

Yep, I think I'll write down the 'recipe' for these so I can do them again.
