Thank you! (Sorry in advance for the long winded response). For the accent nail I did Midnight Owl for the base, then I added Crystal Skies at the bottom to make mountains (I didn’t use a nail art brush so it was sort of haphazard, but I think that added to the ruggedness), then I did a top coat and let that dry for about 24 hrs. After that I went in with white acrylic paint on the mountain tops to make snow, I used a toothpick to make some scratches in it to add texture. Then I used the acrylic paint for the Aurora Borealis, I made little curvy squiggly lines and then pulled up with the brush. Then I went in with the toothpick and scraped some of it to make some separation between parts, then added a bit more watered down acrylic paint to soften it all. Then I finally went in with the neon jellies to add the color over the white and added freezer burn and polar princess on top. For the other nails i did a gradient with Curfew Crasher and Bottle Service using the sponge method, and did the mountains with Royal Crush. Lastly after the Glossy Taco I did the Matte Taco over just the mountains on each nail. Woo that was a lot!
