Ooh La La - Glittery Pink with Black Tips

Where I am it is currently 4pm, so good afternoon!

The manicure I have for you today was done using a new polish I bought from Sally Hansen's Gem Crush Range named Lady Luck. I LOVE this polish! It is tiny pink glitter and medium sized silver holographic glitter in a clear base, and was pretty much opaque in two thick coats. I love the colour of it and the way it shimmers in the sun.

I decided to pair it with a simple black tip, done using the end of a plaster/band-aid as a guide.


Polishes used:
- Sally Hansen Gem Crush Lady Luck (base)
- CR Color 57 (black tips)
- OPI Top Coat

Free-hand Time! - Purple fish scale tips

Hey guys! I know I haven't posted in a really long time but I'm back now and I'm going to queue some posts over the next week to keep the blog posting even when I can't :)

So, recently I bought some nail art brushes from TradeMe and I am trying out different designs in which I can use them. The design below is inspired by this neon scales tutorial by HannahRoxNails (previously pixiepolish), but instead of covering the full nail with scales, I only did scales on the tip.

Here is my design!



They're not perfect, but I'm really happy with how they turned out and I'm sure my brush skills will improve with time!

Polishes used:
- Love & Beauty Lavender (base)
- CR Color 57 (black outlines)
- Chi Chi Boom Boom Boom (to fill in the scales)
- OPI Top Coat
