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! :)

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!

Candy <3
