Today is my Metal Works mani.
It was complicated and time consuming but it's one of my favorites so far.
I used:
OPI in Still Into Pink (nice bright matte pink) as the base
Sally Hanson Insta Dri in Silver Sweep and Bondi in Fool's as the gears and sheet metal
Sally Hanson Xtreme Wear in Black Out for the outlining and to roughen up the metal look.
This one took awhile to finish because I hand drew EVERYTHING, the gold took several coats to be opaque over the pink, outlined it all, used the fan brush and a little of the black polish to roughen up the look of the metal, and added silver studs as the rivets.
I didn't add any topcoat to this one because I was going for a rough look, and it took a lot of work to get the polish a little rough and bumpy like raw metal.
So time consuming, but I LOOOOVE this one, I think it's AWETASTICAL!
