Beauty Tips for Women: Snowflake Bling Manicure

Posted on March 5, 2014 by admin

Still working through those Christmas manicures. I did this manicure on 12-24-2013.

I took very little pictures of the process since I did this on Christmas Eve and was rushing to do a lot.

I started off by doing a coat of Color Club Over the Moon on my ring finger and thumb. I did two coats of Venique Wingtip White on the rest of my fingers. I applied to the left of the nail Over the Moon. I wasn’t too concerned that my line was straight since I knew I would be covering it with some bling.

I then stamped the white areas with snowflake images from Bundle Monster BM14, BM319, and BMH01 using Over the Moon. I added clear rhinestones to the line to make it pop more. For my ring finger and thumb I stamped the sweater image from Winstonia W120 using Wingtip White. I added topcoat to seal in the design.

I was happy how it came it and couldn’t stop looking at my nails.

Beauty Tips for Women: Chinese New Year 2014 Manicure

Posted on January 30, 2014 by admin

Happy Chinese New Year! I was inspired to try my hand at a Chinese New Year manicure when I looked at Jior Couture – Light The Festival. Light The Festival is beautiful gold polish with small glitters of green, red, pink and silver.

For the stamping portion of this manicure I used Bundle Monster BM-H15 and used Sally Hansen Rapid Red to stamp the image.

I did two coats of Light the Festival.

I then stamped the images. It was a bit difficult to stamp since I am down to nubs but I managed to get the images in.

I loved how the manicure turned out.

Beauty Tips for Women: Starrily – Candy Shop Halloween Manicure

Posted on October 24, 2013 by admin

I wanted to share a Halloween manicure I did using Starrily Candy Shop. I let the name and colors influence how this Halloween manicure would turn out.

Candy Shop is a clear base glitter polish loaded with hearts, stripes, dots, hexagons, and neons. I’m sure I missed a shape since it is super packed with a variety of glitter shapes. As you can see the glitter colors pop and it’s just a super fun polish.
I started off by painting my nails with some of the colors found in Candy Shop. I used Sally Hansen Just In Lime! on my thumb, Sally Hansen Fast Fuchsia on my index finger, Sally Hansen Brisk Blue on my middle finger, Wet n Wild Ebony Hates Chris on my ring finger, and Sally Hansen Rapid Red on my pinky. I did two coats of each and totally forgot to take a picture of this step. The stamping plates I used are from Bundle Monster BM-305 and BM-H07. To stamp the images I used Konad black polish.
My ringer finger got the full coverage of Candy Shop and it only took one coat. It applied like a dream and since the polish is so packed with glitter you don’t have to fish around to get any of the large pieces. I simply love how Candy Shop looks over black. After stamping everything I applied Poshe top coat.
