Tuxedo nails

I came across this tux inspired mani and knew instantly that i wanted it on my nails. I just added black nail polish to my already white nails (see previous post). Very simple and eye-catching.

Mod White

Its been one week since my last post and am happy to be back. I hope to share with you what i'll be rocking on my nails a lot more frequently. So, here i decided to go for a mod, clean-looking, white mani.

I think the length of my nails here goes very well with the white nail polish giving off a crisp look that i doubt i could pull off with long nails.

ST. Patrick's Day nails

So tomorrow is St. Patrick's day and i will spend at least 4 hours on the road. I wish i could get my hands on a bottle of Jameson Irish Whiskey...sigh!I won't be driving. Anyway, here is what i had on my nails today.

I know, i know. Hackneyed, but what says Irish better than a Shamrock? Colours used: Luron green #86 and Luron white #FT201.

Polka dots!!!

Its been well over 3 weeks since i last posted anything but not to worry, i am back. Today i have more than one mani from the 'vaults' to share with you. I did not come up with these designs. 

The polka dots mani i did for the 31 day challenge was just too basic and i didn't really like it. I think i used way too many dots so this time round, this is what i did:

Obviously the first pic shows a neater manicure. I like the colours there. The second pic....i don't like. And thats all am going to say about that. 

Day 30: Inspired by a tutorial

NEWSPAPER NAILS

This was my first time doing this though i have wanted to do it for a long time. I saved it for the challenge and so here it is finally! I thought it would look really great but oh well, looks like i will be doing it again.

Day 28: Inspired by a flag

I was super lazy on this day and so i went for this...

The Japan flag. Am not even going say much about it.

Day 19: Galaxy nails

Today's challenge is about capturing the beauty of space on your nails. Here is my outcome...

For this, i used a number of nail polish colours hoping to attain a cosmic effect. I first applied a single coat of black nail polish (Dodwell Nail enamel #79), Then sponged on the following colours: Luron #108 (green), Charm Max Blue, Luron #109 (hot pink) and finally Luron #FT201 (white) in that particular order.

After i was done with the sponging step, i drew some white stars on my accent nails (which you can't see very well here) then applied a coat of fine glitter nail polish and sealed everything with a top coat. The mani may not look like much till you add glitter (and look at it from a distance). 

NB: I went overboard with the glitter. I think it would have looked more realistic if i had not used it on the sponged areas. Also adding just one holographic nail polish to the mix is an awesome idea especially if your going to be out in the sun.

There are so many variations of this spacey-mani using other different colour combinations so you can be sure i'll do it again.

Day 18: Half Moons

Two posts today!

This is my first half moon mani and am in love! Can you believe that this is actually a vintage nail design popularized in the 1930's and 40's? Yep! On to the mani...

I couldn't figure out what colours to use at first but decided to go with these two because both of them really stand out.

What do you think? Yay or Nay?

Day 7: Black and White nails

Black & White checkered nails!

I have a few ideas where i'd rock this nails *wink wink*. I started the application process on my thumb (you can see its different from the others) and i didn't really like how that came out, so i did the rest differently.

I love how this mani just pops moreso because for the past 6 days, my manis have been rather plain. This is quite easy to do and does not require a lot of time. I was in a rush when i did it so its a little messy
