Hello lovelies!

It has been a while since I posted in my Wedding nails blog section. Today I have for you another classic French nail interpretation with some sparkle added with stones :)

First, create your French nail base

This is the first time I have tried French manicure on almond shaped nails and I must admit I love the result. Unfortunately, some of my nails tend to curve forward when they grow a bit longer so I won’t be enjoying this shape much. Anuways, I used a guiding tape to create the perfect white tip. You can add any favorite jelly nude to finish off your French manicure. I used a Maybelline NY shade I own for a while, unfortunately label has fallen off…

Then, attach stones to your nails
To attach your stones simply add a tad on the bottom and then press the stone down to your nail bed. I used some larger stones add more detail to the ring finger.

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you enjoyed!

Hello lovelies!

Today I have for you another stamping experiment I tried soon. I really like how precise and sharp the stamped snowflake images are but find them too harsh in the white-on-something option. So I figured I would enjoy the stamped snowflake more in a jelly sandwich.

First, start with one jelly layer
The only jelly nail polish in my collection is a cobalt blue by LCN. Unfortunately, there is no number on name on the bottle, it must have faded away in time.

I think blue fits the wither theme so I started with a thin layer of the jelly formula to serve as my stamping base.

Then, add white snowflakes
My snowflake pattern is from the Bundle Monster Holiday image plates set I have reviewed earlier on the blog. The image is from plate BM-H02.

Last, add another layer of jelly formula
When you add the second jelly layer it builds up to develop the base color and at the same time it does not go too intense over your white image and stays transparent on it.

You can add your favorite top coat to increase design depth and shine.

This stamping tutorial is part of my Stamping ABC project which shows my progress in self-studying the details of stamped nail art.

Thanks for stopping buy, I hope you enjoyed!

Hello lovelies!

It has been a while since I have posted anything to match my Stamping ABC post series idea. The manicure of today is a French maicure stamped with blue flowers and then matified with a mat top coat formula.

First, start with French manicure
I used guiding tape to help me make the perfect French manicure tip. If you feel comfortable enough to do it free hand maybe all the tape fuss is not needed because you will be stamping over your French base.

Then, add a vintage stamping design in blue
I chose a vintage flowers design which reminds me of old curtains or tea pots decoration. I chose blue but I believe result will take wine red or gold too.

I used a pattern out of my MoYou London Suki image plate.

Last, finish off with mat top coat
I find adding a mat top coat makes the whole design look velvety and more vintage style. I guess you can still choose a glossy top coat but it may make your flower detail less visible to the eye because of the gloss.stealing the light :)

This was my vintage French manicure idea, I hope you enjoyed!

Hello nail art lovers!

I am happy to show you my first experiment with dot flowers. I chose Barry M Raspberry for my main color on all nails except middle and ring fingers.

For my French manicure accent I used guiding stripes for the white tip. To create the flowers, I added 4 big dots using a bobby pin heat and then outlined them with black. I added a few green dots to finish off my French flowers accent.

I will attempt a similar design soon to perfect the flowers. I am optimistic about this technique because it does not need complicated skills for a beautiful result.

Hello nail art lovers!

Today I have for you a quick and easy nail art idea with striping tape. To get the look below simply paint your nails nude and your ring finger white. Then add three pieces of striping tape to your middle finger tip and paint it white.

Nail polishes I used are my favorite white Essie Blanc and the beautiful nude Zoya Chantal.
