Mani Monday!

Hello again! Hope you guys had a great weekend. I've been itching to do some nail art lately so I decided to do some striped accent nails. I used Black Creme by wet n wild Wild Shine for the black stripes and piCture pOlish's Vampire as the base. To do the gold stripe I just mixed some gold glitter from the craft store into a bit of clear polish. I cut some scotch tape into really thin strips and used a thin nail art brush to paint the black and gold on. Not the neatest job but I'm happy with it!

Mani Monday!

Good morning, it's been a while since I've done a mani monday hasn't it? I decided to do a water marble on my ring fingers (I forgot to do the thumbs, haha). The petals on my left hand didn't turn out as neatly as my right one, but I'm still happy with it! I used OPI's My Vampire is Buff, A-taupe the Space Needle and Color Club's Macaroon Swoon. The photos show it with top coat. (Please excuse the messy work.)

Mani Monday!

Hello everyone! I finally got around to doing some nail art and I decided "Why not end summer with a beach mani!" I made the design by following tutorials from Chalkboard Nails and elleandish // Janelle then adding my own little twist. On my pointer, middle finger and thumb, I applied two coats of Essie's "Cocktails & Coconuts" then two more coats of Zoya's "Godiva" on top. The textured finish and silver glitter make it look just like sand! As for my ring and pinky fingers, I did a sponge gradient using Kleancolor's "Pastel Teal" and Essie's "Mint Candy Apple". Then, I used the water-spotting technique with Zoya's "Purity" to add a seafoam-like effect. Afterwards, I sponged just a little bit of white right where I wanted the shore-line to be and covered the tip of my nail with Godiva. To add the starfish on my ring finger, I used a very thin detail brush and Maybelline's "Coral Heat". Finally, I added topcoat to only the ring and pinky finger to smooth everything out! I'm really happy with the final look and hope you guys like it as well!

Mani Monday!

For this manicure, I just have a jelly/glitter sandwich on my ring finger and thumb with Zoya's Dove as the base color. On the accent nails I added 2 coats of OPI's Pirouette My Whistle, then a coat of OPI's My Pointe Exactly. This wasn't the best color choice for summer, but I had to limit my options to neutrals for a formal event today. The photos are with topcoat.
