Let me tell you folks, this is so much fun doing Aussie themed nail art. I usually find it really hard to come up with ideas for nail art, but having a theme really makes it so easy. I've got so many ideas and not enough days to fit them in.
Anyway today's nails are something a little different for me. I've gone with a panorama shot of the beautiful Uluru or Ayres Rock in Central Australia.
Here's my inspiration for the nails.
I actually used the above photo and printed the rock onto water decal paper, then cut it and placed on my nails. I used Ulta3 Spring Shower as the base, sponged with Ulta3 Blue Heaven. I then painted a black french tip and put the water decals on.
So what do you think? Does it look like Uluru to you? Maybe if you cross your eyes a little and treat it like one of the magic eye pictures?
The only frustrating thing about doing a panoramic scene on your nails is that you have to hold your nail just right to show people, otherwise it looks like nothing!
OMG! That's nail art masterpiece!
ReplyDeleteOMG! That is amazing! I actually started halfway down the post and immediately went "Is that Uluru?". Impressively done!
ReplyDeleteThat looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteThats so cool! I'm super impressed!
ReplyDeleteps. I'm not sure if you've seen but Australis has a flakie polish at the moment. I cant find anything about it online but a friend picked it up for me the other day. Could be worth a look :)
yes, Australis has a flakie polish! I picked up two the other day :)
DeleteOh, oh I wonder where I can get it? Kmart, Priceline, Target?
DeleteAll of the above plus Big W. I got mine from Priceline $8.95. It's a close match for Picture Polish - Festival. :)
DeleteThanks girls, I grabbed a bottle today! Priceline, but mine was $7.95.
DeleteWow! This looks awesome!
ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful, I really love it :)

ReplyDeleteWhere does one buy said paper?
ReplyDeleteebay - search "water slide paper"
DeleteMany thanks - and here I was excited over printable shrinky dink paper!
DeleteThat is so clever! It definitely looks like Uluru. My favourite Aussie mani so far.
ReplyDeleteawesome!!!
ReplyDeletefantastic! The harbour bridge would look good like that too :)
ReplyDeleteYes, I was trying to decide which to do between the bridge and the rock. I thought there were more bridges around the world now that are similar to the SHB, so I went with the rock cause its one of a kind.
DeleteI would love to know where you buy your decal paper from, it looks soooo cool!
ReplyDeleteI got my paper from ebay, just search "water slide paper"
