1st SWIRL ATTEMPT

I first saw this nail art from a friend and have been wanting to try it since. It is a pretty simple process but requires precision and quickness and just like any first attempt I didn't exactly "nail" this one.

Since the steps I did in designing my nails didn't come out as I like this time I will post the complete how to after my second attempt and found ways to correct my errors. Be patient with me please i'm only human :)

PRINCESSES RULE & TURQUOISE SHATTER

For this week, I tried the new Turquoise Shatter from OPI with the Princesses Rule as a base color, which is also by OPI. I think the two colors were a good mix because they were both sparkly and the finished product looks very shiny.
QUICK TIP: If you're planning to use the Shatter or any other crackle-type polishes, make sure to apply only a thin layer and to only use one coat. It takes a while for the polish to "shatter" so if you don't see it shattering right away, DO NOT panic! Also, the polish dries very quick so make sure to apply it very quickly and that there is no fan blowing anywhere near your hands!
It's a really fun collection and I highly reccomend it. :)
