Berry Jelly

Here is a nice berry jelly for fall that I made by adding one drop of medium blue (Misa On The Edge) to 20 drops of a creme red, and then one drop of dove gray to the resulting mix.  From there, I added about 10 drops of clear polish.

It’s more cool-toned purplish than it looks in the photo, but my camera gets wonky with blue tones.  Not a particularly unique color, but handy to make from straight-up red if you want a berry tone once in a while. I don’t really wear berries enough to warrant buying a whole bottle.

Nice, but it needs a little something else. How about some foil-y stuff?

This is technically “foil” but on a clear background. I got it from Glitterati Foil, but if you order from them, be prepared to be patient. Out of 30 foils I ordered, 8 were wrong or missing.  They were eventually sent out, but it was disappointing. However, I haven’t seen these kind of foils widely available anywhere else.

Ooh! Transparent foil!

The result:

It reminds me of an abstract painting. The same result could have been obtained with a striping brush, but I’m lazy. This took all of a minute and gave the nails an interesting look.
