More nails that rock!!!! I wasn't a fan of the marble or geode nails trends but I love opals as much as I love rose quartz, so I've been trying all sorts to get a true opal effect!
Yes, we've all played about with iridescent foils and flakes, but that's all on the surface; pretty 2D, and where's the milky magic (still sounds wrong!) that characterises this gemstone?! Well, now you know, and I hope you enjoy this milky magic as much as I did 😂😂😂
After the roaring success of the rose quartz video I have had loads of requests for more crystal / mineral stone nails, am filming a whole bunch of tutes and hacks and will be releasing my copper ore geode video soon, so subscribe for notification!
So, the star of the show here is a micro mylar flake called Arctic Wolf, by Glitterarty. It's a real bargain, at only £1.99!

UPDATE; As of November 2017, Glitterarty ship Internationally, offering free delivery on orders over £60, or £50, if You're in the UK.
I used the following Madam Glam Products for my milky magic, before finishing with their 15ml no-wipe topcoat:
Regular topcoat (3 parts)
Perfect White (4 parts) - also used as a base colour before glittering
Babygirl (2 parts)
Pale Yellow (1 part)

Between the base and "milky magic" layers, I encapsulated the glitter with The Gel Bottle Inc Gel Pot (clear). Go potty here*:

*that's British slang for go nuts, please don't send them your excretions!
I really hope you have fun trying out different opals, like pink, peach, blue, or maybe black, with a sheer £silk stockings" polish...... hmmmm, there goes my creative brain again - I better get back to the nail lab! 😂💅👷
