You've always been....Mysterious.
This week's challenge, we were asked to create a "mysterious" nail design that is similar to Entity's latest campaign.

I started off this design with sparkling peek-a-boos using mixed glitter and a dark navy blue gel polish as base. Then I added some lace, rhinestones and feathers to compliment the mask!
Hope you like it!

Using an orange wood stick, dab on clear top coat gel polish in random places to create the "peek-a-boo" effect. \n\nYou should see the navy blue layer start dispersing where you dabbed on the clear. This kind of creates a stain glass effect. The glitters underneath will catch the light at different angles. Leaving every glance a surprise.\n\nCure once this step is completed.\n
