Glitter Placement Tessellation

My idea for this mani came from Polish All the Nails and Jaunty Juli (I recreated her hand-painted version here) who I both saw tessellation manis from that I loved!

So for my glitter placement tessellation, I used Finger Paints Louvre This Pink as my base, and NOPI Be Awesome for the glitters.


If you saw my last post where I did glitter placement with this NOPI (*ahem*), I was hardly impressed with it. If you're interested, that post will catch you up, but I had to use it again for this mani because A) I paid full price for the piece of crap so I am going to use it, and B) It's the only diamond glitter I have (note to self: invest in more loose glitter in different shapes).



Overall, I don't hate this mani, I just would like some different glitter colors that have more contrast so something like this looks better.

TIL...about tessellation (never heard of this even in my native language) :)

But seriously, this looks awesome!

Thanks! It's just a word for "optical illusion" basically. :)

How did you place the glitters? Did you just put a big blob on a plate and then go in with a dotting tool or toothpick to place them? It looks fabulous! How long did it take?

Thanks! Yep, that's how I placed them. It probably took at least an hour alone just to do the placement!!

I love this design! I really really need to get some loose glitters too! I still don't have any I just keep picking them out of my polishes too but it bubbles really badly sometimes :(

Thanks! Yes, I've noticed that too, it bubbles so much worse!
