So one of my favorite colors right now for nails is pale mint green. So I decided to start my manicure off with Mint Candy Apple by essie. I've also had Across the Universe by DL lying around for a while now that I haven't gotten round to using, but I am so glad I did. I just love DL because of all the layers of glitter and color that are created when you use them. And then of course I had to add a little something extra (because I just can't leave manicures alone) so I did a kind of opposite moon manicure (not exactly sure of the correct terminology) on all my finger. Oh yeah and added some tape for funsies.

So this manicure is definitely a change from the last one. Since that one was a little OTT I decided to tone this one down a bit. I haven't used the leopard stamper yet so I decided to give it a go with Barry M silver foil on Nail Pop petticoat. I added a little stripe with OPI stranger tides just because I just can't seem to leave things ago. woops.
Also I'm super pumped because I ordered two American Apparel neons and I just can't wait till they arrive! So I must admit this is one of my least favorite manicures... I almost wasn't going to post it but I thought what the hell. So anyways I started off with a palette of gold and black and muted colors and basically just ended doing random crap on them. I was partially inspired by the awesome elsalonsito.com and this particular nail wheel; I was too lazy to swatch these colors and take loads of pictures....so here ya guys go; lastly, I ran out of nail polish so I guess these bad boys are here to stay until I get some.
So as the first "official" manicure of this new blog, I decided to make one inspired by the blog's design. So I gathered the colors I thought would be appropriate for this inspired manicure and got to work. I started off with a white base... I then did a gradual pink gradient, getting dark at the tips and using the fluorescent pink acrylic as the darkest color. I even added neon pink under the tips. (my first time trying this and I think it looks pretty awesome, pictures don't do it justice) I finished off the look with a nail head inspired mint green triangle.
Okay so this is my first post (as the title suggests above). Right now it feels like I am talking to myself (which I probably am, cause I'm pretty sure no one is reading this).
This blog has been timed perfectly with my most favorite manicure ever....luckily it has lasted since last week so I could photograph it especially for this first post. woohooo. It all started when I found the most amazing skin tone polish everrr. Nail pop- petticoat. The accent nail has actually lasted through two manicures. Enjoy! |
