To get this look:
I sketched out the shapes of the ornaments using a fine detail brush and black polish thinned with polish thinner. I painted in the designs, then added touches of gold where necessary. The last step was to outline the ornaments and add the strings.

Final thoughts:
I think these are my favourite ornaments to date, and I've come along way since 2012. With the exception of Luxe, the Orly polishes come from the fall Smokey collection and add a bit of an ornate, sophisticated feeling to the look.

DeleteAmazing! They are so pretty. What type of detail brush do you use to get such clean precise lines?
ReplyDeleteThanks! I use a brush called Pure Color Glamor 1 from Stylish Nail Art on Etsy. The shop has been closed for some time, so I don't like to advertise it, as it's not really helpful to my readers.
