China Glaze Electropops Nail Art Revisited

I have to be honest. When I posted my nail art designs using the new China Glaze Electropops polishes, I wasn't really happy with this design. The lines were wobbly, the dots were horribly misshapen, and for some reason the design just didn't really do it for me.

Being the type of person that I am, I kept thinking about this nail, wondering what I could do to make it pop more. Then once I got out my nail art goodies I saw these flat-back pearls and realized this was exactly what I needed to perk the design up!

So, I'm sharing this nail again, only updated. What do you think- do the pearls make it better, or is this a design better left in the "oh well, better luck next time" pile?

Nail Art with China Glaze Electropop Colors!

I know you're seeing swatch shots of the China Glaze Electropop polishes everywhere, so I thought I'd do something a bit different. These aren't the best photos (it's been so rainy here lately!), but this gives you an idea of some of the fun nail art you could do with these polishes!


I used Aquadelic, Sunshine Pop, and Dance Baby for these designs, plus a shimmery black for contrast. These polishes are surprisingly opaque except for Sunshine Pop, which is a pretty typical yellow in that it's streaky and somewhat of a pain to use. Still, it's very pretty and just a touch shimmery. Dance Baby is a cool-toned bubblegum pink. It reminds me of the Bazooka bubble gum that came with the cartoon in the wrapper. Aquadelic is an absolutely gorgeous Tiffany blue, vibrant and opaque.

Also? Boy am I out of practice! I've been too sick to do much nail art, and I can REALLY tell. I'm hoping I get back to somewhat skilled soon, because it's really frustrating to not even be able to use a dotting tool well!

Stay tuned- I've got Valentine's Day manicure designs coming up next!
