Since it's a new year, this month's Polish Days theme was to try something new. I decided to try some nail art with a fan brush, something I saw on Pinterest here.
Mine didn't turn out like the original, but it still was a cool look. It required using a fan brush, dipping it in polish and creating stripes on the nail.
I used OPI Fly as a base then waited for the polish to dry. I then used Nails Inc. Pembroke Close and A-England Order of the Garter with the fan brush. I topped it off with Nubzen Claus Flash Dry Manicure Sealant.

I think my lines weren't as defined because I didn't use enough polish, so it dried very quickly. I still really like the way this mani turned out. I really like the addition of the shimmer from Order of the Garter. I'm so grateful for this challenge that encouraged me to try a new technique. It wasn't very difficult.
What do you guys think of this mani? Have you tried this technique?
