Hello ladies,
Today I have Nubar Platinum from the Royal Gems Collection. It's a whitened silver metallic with fine silver glitter pieces and multi hued micro glitter. Although I showed the majority of this collection with rhinestones and sparkle, I thought masks were more befitting of the Halloween season.
With Platinum, I thought it would be lovely to add some gold touches. I'll let the leaves complete the task.
Nubar Platinum was easy to apply. There was some appearance of brushstrokes, but these minimized as the polish dried. I ended up painting three coats. Two would have sufficed, but I used the third to help anchor the fimo masks. I applied two coats of Platinum over Nubar Foundation base coat. I painted the third coat and added a fimo circle, working nail by nail. I sealed the look with Diamont topcoat. Using this method gave the fullest adhesion and didn't require nail glue.
I was saving Nubar Platinum for a sunlit day. The finish almost appears molten. It makes me think of hot metal swirling in a kettle, like antique silver being melted down.
Happy painting, ladies.
