Shredded Purple (My Favorite Thing Nail Art Challenge: "My Favorite Color!")

Hi everyone! :)

Today is the first day of a challenge I decided to join! Our post today needed to be our favorite color! As some may know, I always preferred purple! Purple jeans, nail polish (of course), eye makeup, pencils...

For this nail art, I wanted to use several purple nail polishes, here is the result:


To achieve this design, I started with 3 or 4 coats of Estée Lauder - White Petal. (Yes thats a lot but I did not found out a way to apply it smooth enough for my taste...)

Then I painted some scotch tape using several purple nail polishes:
Stargazer - 235
OPI - DS Extravagance
Debby - 91
Milani - Jewel FX Lavender + OPI - Houston we have a purple
Orly - Charged Up
Miss Cop - Vernis Pop Fluo n°6
OPI - Planks a lot

When they were all dry, I cut them with scissors in square and triangle pieces. I only had so stick them on and my nails were ready for topcoat!


I like how this design looks kind of a shredded glitter nail polish but is very rich. I like that it is modren but quite delicate :)

Do you like it? Let me know if you try this design out! :)

Have a great day and great polishes! <3

Trendy Geometric Design!

Hi everyone!

Today I'm gonna show you some nails I did in the middle of May! I didn't have my blog yet, but I thought the design was worth pics!

I was scrolling trough pinterest when I discovered this design by the talented Madeline Poole. I fell in love with this design and wasn't able to imagine other colors than the ones she used and get the same effect! I even mixed different polishes to get the particular shades of Madeline Poole's mani.


So I started applying two coats of China Glaze - First Mate (you see it a lot on my blog!) for 3 nails and two coats of Gosh - Fossil Grey for 2 nails.

Then I applied some tape in the diagonal of my nail to make the checkered pattern with Sally Hansen - Blush & Gosh - Fossil Grey for the blue based nails. For the other nails the checkered pattern is done with an anonymous burgundy & China Glaze - First Mate.

I freehanded the ruffian styled stripped with an anonymous red & Wet'n Wild - Black Crème topped with China Glaze - Senorita Bonita (for the blue based nails). For the other nails I used a green mix and again Wet'n Wild Black Crème ;)



I hope you liked this mani, I really did!
I find this design really classy, innovative, elegant.  So thank you Madeline Poole for this amazing inspiration you give us!

My mani for the 4th!

Hi everyone!

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! :)

Have a wonderful day! <3
