Rainbow Waterfall

Sunday, October 13, 2013

Hi!

This week I tried my very first waterfall!

It looks simple, but making the strokes the right lengths was actually a lot harder than I thought!

I was originally planning to go with a blue-and-white color scheme, but I decided rainbow would be more fun. What do you think?

I started with a base of Revlon Spirit, then added the stripes with a small striping brush, using Deborah Lippmann Girl on Fire (red) & Lara's Theme (orange), Sally Hansen Mellow Yellow & Blue Me Away, and Sephora by OPI It's Totally Karma (green). 

And of course, I had to use my matte topcoat!

What do you think of these? Fun? Weird? 
Do you prefer them matte or glossy? I'm not sure, but I think I like glossy better for these. 

Thanks for reading!
