Lacey Doll

Hello everyone!

Sorry it has been a long time! I've started my 2nd year of 3D studies and I need to work a lot. I've been wearing my dream catcher mani since Monday and it had only minor chips so I might keep it one day or so until I change. Next mani will feature my last franken! :)

Today I'm showing you a mani I did last week between two challenges for a lesson I had to teach my  bf's mother class about minimum nail care for labour world (and a bit of nail art!).


To achieve this look I started with one coat of Miss Cop - Beige to give a little bit of opacity to my nail, and then one coat of OPI - You're a Doll. (<3)

Then I stamped a lace stripe from my Konad plate m57 using Konad Special Polish - Black. Using the same polish and a tiny dotting tool, I did little polka dots on the free edge. :)


Aww look at these tiny coral flakes! I love the way it keeps the polish from being boring (being a nude). Thank you a lot April for helping me get it! <3


Did you like this mani? I really like the base color and I think the lace gives it a bit of sexiness without overwhelming it!

Have a great great day ;)

Lacey mint

Hello everyone!

Today I have a post from the vault to show you (again!).
I did this last summer when I received my big fauxnad plate (copy of the big plate A by Konad).



After applying my base coat, I did a diagonal french tip in a minty color using Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear - Mint Sorbet.

Then I stamped a full design (that can also be found in m70) just in the french tip area, and lined it with a lace strip image (that can also be found in m71). I used Konad special polish in White.


I find this mani really delicate and fresh, do you like it?

Have a great day!

Inversed vintage mani!

Hi!

Do you know which was the way to wear nail polish in the early 20th Century?
This is an ad from the Brand Cutex:



Last week my boyfriend came with a very cool idea! He suggested I could do a reverse of this type of vintage mani!
I began to imagine what color would do the best... Red? That might be too bloody. Black? Then I found which color would make it the more modern: Chrome!

Here is what I came with:


I used Stargazer 232 for the silver, and just base coat and topcoat! :)


The application of a chrome nail polish is very tricky, especially when you paint just parts of the nail: it makes a lot of brush strokes. I had a hard time trying to avoid the storkes but it was worth it!



I really like this look, I find it modern and classy :3

Did you like it? Let me know! :)
