Gray On Kitties: Shiny (Story 1 of 3)

This is the first step of the Nails Series. In other words, how with a little effort you can change the look and feel of your nail polish.

What makes it special: The key in this nail design is in the density of the glitter-hexagon and the right combination. Gray takes some of the shine and at the same time the pink brightens it. The light colours or the white hexagons add mosaic texture.


How long it lasts: Generally it depends on the base and the base colour you choose. My L'Oreal lasts about 2-3 days. Usually the glitter and hexagon nail polishes straighten the base layers. In this case the gray is darker and the peels are clearly visible (to me) but the hexagon texture adds the effect of the light dots so basically it will give you another day or two with this design.

To make the gray you need:

• 3 kitties
• Base coat
• Gray nail polish
• Glitter-hexagon nail polish in light pink, light orange and light green or white.
• Top coat (optional)

Steps:

1. Apply the base coat. Wait to dry.
2. Apply two layers of gray nail polish. Wait to dry.
3. Apply a layer or two of the glitter-hexagon nail polish. 
4. (Optional) You can apply top coat which will work as a glue for the rugged edges from the hexagon figures.
