I decided to call the custom crelly Vanilla Ice, this has a white creme base with very small black glitter to create the look of the vanilla seeds in the ice cream. This was fully opaque in 2 coats, it has a fabulous formula really easy to work with and builds up really well.
For the sauce drips I used four of the pastel polishes from the Freckles Polish cremes collection, there will be full swatches of the whole six piece collection coming shortly. For the strawberry sauce I used 'Make The Boys Wink', which is a pastel pink creme.
For the Banana sauce on my middle nail I used 'Banana' which is a pastel yellow creme.
Then to create the mint flavored sauce I used 'Freshly Mint' which is a pastel mint creme polish.
For the last sauce which is Blueberry I used 'Oh Boy' a pastel blue creme.
To create this drippy effect I used a medium sized dotting tool and placed 3 dots at different points in the middle of the nail. The drop in the middle was lower than the 1st and 3rd one, I then dragged polish towards my cuticle and joined them up. This created the drippy look I was going for, you could always use some drip vinyls to create this look too.
I will have full swatches of all of these gorgeous pastel cremes posted soon, they are all available now in the Freckles Polish Etsy Store, I will leave a link below along with all of their social media platforms. All of the Freckles polishes I have tried so far have fabulous formula and really easy to apply, I would definitly suggest checking them out, Julieann who owns Freckles Polish has loads of new collections coming soon and she has a sale going on right now to make room for all her new stock. So head on over now and pick yourself up a bargain!
I hope you like my ice cream mani, I am quite proud of this one and I had Ice Ice baby playing in my head while creating these (finally stopped singing shine bright like a diamond.)
As always I would love to know your thoughts in the comments section below and what is your favorite ice cream flavor? Mine has to be strawberry! Have a great nail day and I will chat to all you lovely people again soon.
