Today's post features a quite simple nail art, but it is really classy and makes your nails look longer/finer!
(I would love to give credit to the original creator of this style, but I didn't succeeded in my searches...)
To achieve the look, you'll only need two color polishes!
I applied two coats of an unnamed rose Avon and directly with the brush of my Wet'n Wild - Black Crème, I draw the lines (a little bit curvy on both ends).
I really like the vintage color with this design! I think this is a design I'll reproduce because it is so easy, quick to do and gives a chic look!
Sadly my acrylic paint pen (POSCA) wasn't opaque enough and crackled with my topcoat :/
I used a lot of colors for this design, starting by one coat of a dark green crème from Avon.
I sponged other colors from Avon: a light grey crème, a navy shimmer (similar to China Glaze - Rodeo Fanatic) and a purple glass fleck (similar to CG - Senorita Bonita).
I also sponged Orly - Butterfly and Biguine Makeup Gloss & Shock - Blue Lagoon.
Then I added one coat of China Glaze - Fairy Dust (thank you Nikki!) to give it a lot of sparkliness!
I decorated this galaxy using my white Posca and some holo gold hex glitter, then Out The Door Top Coat ;)
Did you liked it? I am disapointed of the opacity and crackling of the white paint but I think these are cute! Not as badass as Mr Candiipants' but a little more detailed :)
Today I'm showing you my entry to the "Stripes" day of the challenge!
I'm very late, & sorry, because I've been doing several craft projects this week and I had no time (and clean hands!) to do my nails! No my projects are over but I'll make a post to show you what I've done ;)
For today's challenge, I wanted to do serape inspired nails! These are the mexican blankets you might have seen before. This kind of pattern always make me think about Peru, and Peru makes me think about one of my favorite animals: Llama! So I wanted to give a try, I hope it does look like a llama!
Today was also my first try at one stroke and it was a success, I was really proud of my mani... before my topcoat! :( It made the paint crackle...
I started with ONE coat of China Glaze - Adventure Red-Y.
All the stripes are done with gouache paint, but the llama is done (in order from darkest to brightest) with E.Pinaud - Chocolat, China Glaze - Desert Sun and China Glaze - Kahalari Kiss.
I'm really proud of this mani, but also sooo disapointed :(
What do you think?
Recently Karine from karinea0a.blogspot.com contacted me because she was going in vacation and was needing a guest post! I am really honored to be featured on her blog!
Today I have a post that almost doesn't look like a gradient, but original idea for this nails was a gradient. I wanted to do a stripe fade à la Mr Candiipants, but using zigzags instead of straight lines.
Then I realised my design was more like a Missoni pattern:
I wouldn't advise a special base color for this type of mani. In fact I used a random light blue (from a Forever 21 set) for a first coat of opacity. Then using every time a zigzag pattern with my tiny art brush, I covered it completely with different colors (from the cuticules to the edge):
OPI - Dutch'Ya Just Love OPI?
Miss Cop - Vernis Pop Fluo n°6
Forever 21 - Unnamed light purple from a set
Sephora - Jacuzzi Bubbles
Essie - Navigate Her
OPI - Uh-Oh Roll Down the Window
E. Pinaud - Chocolat
I am really happy with this manicure, but it took quite a long time to do the left hand: I had not time left to do zig zags on my right hand, so I did a skittle mani with the first 5 colors ;)
Sadly because I was late my right hand nails have been damage so I don't if I'm gonna enjoy this mani a long time :/
I hope you are doing great! Today I'm gonna show you a nail art I did on my cousin's nails while she was here!
I really love the style and the combo of color! I really don't know if it is really comparable, but it reminds me of native american art.
For this design I started with two coats of China Glaze - Fast Track. Thank you Raphaelle for letting me use your polish before you can finally get it!
Then I painted the brown parts with E. Pinaud - Chocolat, and the teal parts with Fashion Make-Up - n°06.
I used a little art brush, a dotting tool and OPI - Alpine Snow for the details.
I hope you liked this mani, my cousin was happy and me jealous of course! :P
This super holo mani features Layla Cosmetics - Mercury Twilight! I used two pieces of striping tape for every nail to leave some space just with basecoat and I freehanded the black lines with Wet n Wild - Black Crème ;)
I love Mercury Twilight, this polish is an impressive holo polish! I wanted my nail art to stay uncluttered so that I could enjoy the holo effect. I also wanted to experience more the fact to leave a part of the real nail visible :)
Did you like this mani? Or is this too modern for your taste?
I think I might prefer black framed holo nails, so I might try that soon!
Maybe you noticed I wasn't really present this week for my blog. As you may know, my cousin from RI is in France this week so we were out all the week. So I didn't have time to you my 4th of July mani!
I was really excited to do this design with different hands! :)
For every hand I started with two coats of OPI - Alpine Snow. I just got it this week and it is a dream to apply!
Then I freehanded the lining of the stars with China Glaze - First Mate and a tiny art brush, and filled in directely with the brush from the polish bottle.
For my left hand I used tape but wasn't really happy, the lines are not as straight as I wanted, so using tape wasn't worth it. The red nail polish is anonymous.
The last picture was taken into my sister's Instagram ;)
I hope you liked this mani, I'm still wearing it because I like it a lot! :)
Here is a mani I made yesterday (when I had my camera with me it was already night so I wasn't able to take pics)!
When I discovered Lynnderella - Connect the Dots it was already hard to get, since it's the only nail polish that I wanted for her, I just dreamed that I could have it someday but I didn't wanted to get involved in any drama! And then, in January or February, a friend of mine was choosed in the Llarowe's lottery and she generously offered me to order it for me! (Thank you again!)
Nowadays, there is a lot of drama going on but everyone has his opinions about it, and I'm here to talk you about the polish, not the one who makes it! ;)
For this mani I put two coats of OPI - Sparrow me the Drama, then I shaded it into Rimmel - .
Then I applied one generous coat of Lynnderella - Connect the Dots.
I hope you like this mani! I feel like there's something wrong... Maybe it's too messy? What do you think?
