Denim Nails

New manicure today - denim nails.
I used three colours and used the sponge technique. I used a dark blue by LA Girl - Dance Studio, a light blue by China Glaze - Moody Blue and a white by Honeypot.  I also used some black acrylic paint to draw on the stitching lines.  On my ring finger I drew a little bow (you can just about make it out).  I hope you like.

Four Step Check Tutorial

I found this great design on the www while surfing and I just had to give it a go.
 

Black Rose Nail Art

I have been trying to do this rose for ages.  But just could not get it right.  But I saw some tutorials on some Korean Nail blogs and they made it look so easy.  I already had the base colour from last week and since it was going to come off soon I thought I would give the rose a go.
I used some black acrylic paint from our craft box and a fine line brush, and if I do say so myself, it came out quite good.

MILANI - Bare to Wear

First of all you may notice my nails are much shorter than in my last post.  I just felt like shorter nails, and that is not very often, but I am glad I did cut and file them down as the manicure I am wearing really suits the shorter nail.
One of my "yet to be worn" today.  I bought the Milani Bare It All collection a while ago but as yet have not worn any of them.  I keep buying and have not got enough time to wear all of them!  So I took this one out and I am so pleased I did.  It is lovely "griege" colour, (one of my favourite shades, I have them in many makes!)  Sorry for the crappy pictures, but the weather is rather wet and grey here in the UK today.  This is two coats of Bare to Wear with a top coat of Seche Vite.

Summer Sun Sponge

This is a manicure I have had on since the weekend.  I definitely call it my summer sun manicure.  The base is one coat of Sinful Color - Easy Going, a pale creme pink and then the lower half is sponged on using China Glaze - Happy go Lucky, a vibrant yellow. Then just on the very tips I sponged on a green using LA Girl - Can You Dig it?.  Finished off with some 3D nail stickers.
