Sometimes I play video games. Sometimes I color. Recently though, my priority has been shifted to making birthday cards for friends. And when I have the time and the inspiration, I paint my nails.
Sorry in advance if this blog is not as active as you would have hoped.
Here is my most recent manicure:
For this manicure:
- Base Coat - Bonder by ORLY
- Base Colors - In the Lime Light by China Glaze, Shrimply Devine by Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure, aruba blue by essie, & Tribeca Silver by NYC
- Top Coats - Out the Door by inm & Matte Me Crazy by NYC
- Tools used - striping tape
Approximate Completion Time: 2 hours
I've been watching a lot of nail artists work their magic on instagram. The general trend for multi-layer designs is to seal the bottom layers with a fast drying top coat first, and then continue onto the rest of the design. It's such a simple yet genius concept! I wish I really had considered that sooner. It would have made my other nail art less time-consuming, or even allowed me more time to make more intricate designs!
The world of nail art is fast evolving, and I'm really enjoying seeing all these different designs and techniques surface :)
I am currently thinking up new designs, so hopefully I get around to painting my nails again soon! Additionally, I have a shipment of polish coming from Julep and another one from Sephora which should arrive soon...very excited for nail mail :D
That's all for now. Have a wonderful day, my friends! :)
