I happen to find some gold calligraphy ink the last time I was at my local craft store, so I thought it was time to try another calligraphy pen design. I used a calligraphy pen in a previous Valentine's Day design and I really liked using it. This is what I came up with this time around...
I created the gilded gold shamrocks over Revlon Colorstay 'Rain Forest' which I topped with a matte topcoat. I find that the matte topcoat helps applying the calligraphy ink.
I decided when the design was complete to add a glossy top coat, and paired it with one of the polishes from the 7 Tales of Luck & Whiskey indie collaboration set I mentioned in my last post.
This seriously glittery green and gold polish is Simply Beautiful 1973 'Blarney Stone.' I'm not a big glitter fan, I never really have been but I just can't get enough of this. It's so sparkly and incredibly opaque, I applied two coats both in the swatches and for today's nail art.
As for today's nail art, you can see from the pictures that I drew the design on both hands. This is the first time I have ever wielded a calligraphy pen with my non-dominant hand. Though I need a great deal of practice with using the calligraphy pen (with both hands), I am pretty pleased with the results.
I hope you enjoyed this nail art design, and I hope you are all having a wonderful St. Patrick's Day. Thank you for stopping by, see you next time.
Your Fellow Plebe,
