Shadows

Hello lovely readers!

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!

What do you think?

Have a wonderful day!

Tribal Galaxy!

Hello girls!

When I saw the tribal galaxy design that Mr Candiipants achieved inspired by a society6 phone case, I immediately wanted to make a try:

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 :)

Have a great day!

Serape (fail) - My Favorite Things Nail Challenge Day 6 "Stripes"

Hello everyone!

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?

Have a great day! <3

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

Pink gradient with black & white glitter

Hi everyone!

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?

Blue PCB Nails!

Hi everyone!

Today my nails aren't purple!

I've been wanting to make these nails for a while. They are printed circuit board inspired, but in blue tones. The inspiration came from the walls of the labyrinth in our short film! I chose the texture and really liked the pattern.

So here we have two coat of OPI - Fly (from the Nicki Minaj collection). I think I'll need to buy a full size bottle, I've already used half of my mini.

I freehanded the pattern with a tiny art brush and China Glaze - First Mate.

I was waiting for today to make this nail art because we have our projection and presentation tomorrow morning, wish me luck!

I hope you liked these nails, let me know if you try that design ;)

Happy polishing,

Candy <3
