In my head these should have looked a bit better, so I thought I'd add fairy dust seeing as that usually makes things better. But I used the wrong glitter and so instead of a fine holographic glitter it was a dense chunky glitter. Oops!
I haven't done a then and now throwback nails for a while. It is interesting to look back at how much I have learned and improved upon over the past seven years of nail blogging.
Back in 2011 I did these nautical themed nails, looking at these I am pretty sure I freehanded the stripes as well as the anchors. Also these are that old I can't find the blog post I shared them in because I didn't tag things in a coherent way then!
Base Polish: Models Own - True Blue
Today I used striping tape to create a more straight line, although the top coat dragging is very frustrating! I also stamped both the the anchors rather than freehanding them.
