GingerNails Goes 3D! - Pink half-moons and rhinestones

The other day I decided to do a half-moon manicure and I was in the mood for pink. It was only when I had finished doing my nails that I realised they reminded me of something from Madonna's music video for 'Material Girl'!

Here are my 'Material Girl' nails :)

This was my first time using these rhinestones, and I found them to be hard-wearing and very practical - they stuck on really well even without a top coat! I love the classy look and durability of this design.

Polishes used:

- Jordana Soft Pink (lighter pink base)

- Miki 9155 (darker pink half-moons)

- Meizilan Nail Design Taiwan nail art pen in unnamed white (for the half-moon outline)

- Cutex 3 in 1 - Base coat, top coat & clear nail polish (to stick on the rhinestones)

- Stop Nail: Little Star rhinestones (I bought these at a KONAD nail art stand in a mall in Las Vegas)

- OPI Top Coat

Free-hand Time! - Pink and purple swirls

A few months ago, I bought a sparkly purple polish by Maybelline Mini Colorama called Tutti Frutti on sale at the supermarket... And I love it!!! The only difficult part about wearing it was deciding how to decorate it...

I went with a free-handed pink/purple swirl design which I think complemented Tutti Frutti really nicely.

It's simple, but I really like this design :)

Polishes used:

- Maybelline Mini Colorama Tutti Frutti (sparkly purple base)

- Meizilan Nail Design Taiwan in unnamed magenta (swirls)

- OPI Top Coat

Under the (turquoise) sea...

Hey guys! I know it's been AGES since I last posted, but I have been really busy! I'm in the process of queuing some posts for the near future so this blog can keep on going even when I don't have time to sit down and write a post :)

So, a few weeks ago I was so excited about using Mode's beautiful turquoise Party Girl (if you live in NZ, you can find this at a lot of pharmacies for around $4 - $5. Not sure about other countries, sorry.). I decided to go with a simple yet effective fishtail manicure, highlighting Party Girl with black and silver.

It took a few tries for me to accurately photograph the colour of these nails, but I did it in the end! I seriously love this turquoise and will definitely be reaching for it again in the future.

Polishes used:

- Mode Party Girl (turquoise base)

- Meizilan Nail Design Taiwan nail art pen in unnamed silver

- CR Color 57 (black)

- OPI Top Coat
