This manicure is for Lisa's birthday contest over at Nail Polish Creations. She listed her style as purple, holographic, rhinestones, and sparkles. I tried to incorporate all of those, but struggled to come up with a cohesive idea. The final product is a little gauche but it'll have to do! Happy birthday, Lisa!
I started with a coat of my nail treatment, Salon Sciences Instant Artificials followed by one coat of Essie First Base. I then painted two coats of Zoya Aurora. On m ring finger I painted on a bit of Urban Outfitters Chilly (on the right side and bottom of the nail) and made some circles with Ozotic 509. On my index fingers I arranged some silver and purple-y rhinestones over a light coat of American Classics Gelous. I painted one coat of Gelous on my ring finger and topped all nails off with a coat of Seche Vite.

ReplyDeleteQuick tip, if you have a program to crop photos try to exclude more of the background than post the pics as extra large so we can get a better look at those beauties!!
Thank you! Yeah, I though there would be an option on Blogger to do that, but I couldn't find one, so I guess I will have to download something :)
