Pink Sideways French

This week I decided to try a Sideways French for the first time. 


I actually think it turned out pretty good. I started out with Nail Magic "Base Coat Therapy".

I then applied two coats of Sinful Colors "Cream Pink" for the base color. Next I used Kiss striper polish in black for the Sideways French design and topped it off with Seche Vite.


This is a fairly simple design, but I actually really like it. I thought about adding something to it, but decided that in this case less was more.


What do you think? Thanks for reading!

Stripes with Polka Dot Accent Nail

For this week's manicure we have some simple stripes with a red accent and a polka dot accent nail also with a red accent.


I started off with my usual base coat, Nail Magic "Base Coat Therapy".

I then used three coats of Finger Paints "Meet Me At The Met". I probably could have gotten away with two, but decided to err on the side of caution.


I then used black acrylic paint for the stripes on my thumb, pointer finger, middle finger and pinkie. Next I went in with red acrylic paint for the accent stripe.

Then on the ring finger I used black and red acrylic paint for the polka dots.


After I put on the design, I topped it all off with Seche Vite.


I was pretty impressed with this manicure. It lasted seven days chip free which is pretty awesome.


Thanks for reading!

Matte Leopard Print

For today's manicure I would like to share with you a leopard print and french tip skittlette.


On the pointer finger and the ring finger I did a French tip. I started off with two coats of Sinful Colors "Black on Black". Then for the French tip I used Sinful Colors "Gorgeous". I then highlighted the tip with a line of silver glitter using Kiss striper in Silver Glitter.


On the middle finger and thumb I did a leopard print. I started with two coats of Sinful Colors "Gorgeous". I then used black and silver paint for the leopard print.


I then used Wet and Wild "Metallica" and Pure Ice "Beeware" for the glitter accent nail on my pinkie.


I then topped it all off with Essie "Matte About You".

I love the way this turned out. Hope you enjoyed it!
