Stamping Saturday: Easy Music Sheet

Hi!
Here is a quick manicure that I did on a fake nail.
I did this manicure on my nails before but that manicure was too chipped to take a picture of.
So I decided that I should redo the manicure and show it to you.

What I used:
Colors: Misa Pay Days Are Happy Days, Sephora Cha Cha, Konad Black Pearl.
Other Products: Stamping Products, Konad M73.
Topcoat: Seche Vite.



1.Apply your base coat and taupe polish.

2.Apply your pearly nude polish over the taupe base.

3.Stamp the image onto the nails.

I know it is a easy manicure.
But I love the combination of the neutral base and the music notes.

I hope you liked it.

Dots And Dots And Even More Dots!

Hi!
Here is a quick and basic manicure that will work for any occasion, just change the colors!

What I used:
Colors: Essence Chirp, Chirp!, Kiko 335, Herome Toxic Apple.
Topcoat: Seche Vite.


1.Apply your base coat and base polish.

2.Make a large dot with each color.
Try to keep as much space in between them as possible.

3.Make smaller dots around the larger dots switching the color as you are starting another row.
I recommend to make 1 circle of dots around each larger dot and than start the next row around the first one.

4.Make only 1 row of dots when 2 rows meet each other.

5.Apply your topcoat.

I hope you liked it.

Hi!

Base Coat: Models Own 3-in-1.
Colors: Essie Natural Cotton, Paris Memories 234, It's So Easy Nail Stripper.
Topcoat: Seche Vite.



1.Apply your base coat and nude polish.

2.Make a white french tip.

3.Make a thin line above the french tip.

4.Apply your topcoat.


Quick, easy and clean.
I love it!

I hope you liked it.

As Sweet As Candy

Hi!
I finally did it!
It took me 2 years to do a pin wheel sort of swirl but I finally did it!
I am going to tell you how I did it and the things that I found that helped me.

What I used:
Colors: Paris Memories 234, Hema 11, Gosh Bubble Gum, Catrice Aretha's R-E-S-P-I-N-K.
Topcoat: Seche Vite.


1.Apply your base coat and base color.
I used 234 and than 11 over that.

2.Find the middle of your nail.
This is important because you want the swirl to be even.

3.Start with one elongated C shape beginning in the middle.
Make the first swirl be the one at the top (12 o'clock)

4. Make a second C shape starting in the middle,ending it next to the first one.
The key to the swirl it to make it even otherwise it won't look too good.
Basically you made the outlining for one swirl.

5.Fill in the space in between the two lines.

6.Make a second elongated C shape on the opposite side (6 o'clock) of the first swirl.
This will help you to get an even pin wheel.

7.You are going to do the exact same steps for the other swirls.
Start with 9 o'clock than 3 and than start with the other 4, just keep doing the same things.

8.After you have made all the swirls and you have filled them in you want to apply a topcoat.

So the real key to this design is to take your time and get everything symmetrical.

I hope you liked it.
