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! :)

Lacey Half Moons

Hi all!

This is a third post with purple nails.. I'm sorry!
Today I'm showing you my second mani with the traveling polish: The Wanderer by Sassy Lacquer.
You can check my post explaining you what's this nail polish :)

Here The Wanderer was used as a base color with Rouge Baiser - Gris Lavande under it for the opacity (one coat of each).

I freehanded the lace with Seche - Blanc, in the shape of half moons.

Now it's time for me to say goodbye to The Wanderer, since the next person gave me her adress to send it to her ;) It was sure a great time, if you want to join the adventure, you can join the group here.

I hope you liked this mani, I promess my next post wont be another purple one ;)

Have a good day!

Golden Arcs Nail Art

Hello everyone!

On January Zoya made this promo that allow to you to get two free polishes, all you had to do was pay the shipping! Since I never had the chance to try those polishes, I asked a friend from the US if I could ship them to her, and I received them in the beginning of March (thank you Kelly!). Today I'm showing you a mani with Zoya - Yara.

I started with two coats of  Zoya - Yara, which is a khaki/olive green with tiny gold flecks. I could have gotten away with one coat though.

The gold ornament is made using Stargazer - 237. Their collection of chrome polishes is really good! The gold is the less opaque of the collection so I needed to put a second coat, but it still works great for stamping and stuff. I plan to buy a backup, my bottle is almost empty ;)

The arcs themselves are made using Wet'n Wild - Black Crème and a tiny little art brush.

The next picture show better the gold flecks:

 I was very incertain of what to do with my nails, but then I had a flash of inspiration and in one minute I had ideas and color combinations for 3 different manis! I hoped you liked the one I showed you today! Let me know if you recreate it!

Have a lovely day!
