Nails: Vivaciously pink or Playful blue...

Remember my nails last Wednesday?

As usual i try to stick with 2 colors....except for the white one that i used to line it...Since im about to cut my nails short...i decided to do the tut now instead of waiting until it grow back...So it might look at its best... XD

Now go for a polish that shares the same color....So i used pink & red...then as a twist, i did a blue version for those who are blue lovers, a light metallic blue & navy blue...so it means you can mix & match the colors..as long as they are in the same family...you can go for light brown & chocolate brown...light orange & red orange...so on & so forth..

As for the rhinestones....these are what i used...
i used 2 kinds...a big one & a smaller one

then this is to be used for the blue version together with the small pink stones...

Well then, let's start this!
  • Apply a base coat & the base color....
  • then apply the darker polish on the tip...much like a french tip..
  • Put the rhinestones...sorry about this pic..im using both hands..that's why XD

  • This is how i arranged the rhinestones....
the big stone on the far side, then the 3 small ones beside it..so it resembles like a paw print...albeit a 'bling paw'...

Now for the blue one..i put the flower stone in the middle...


then the small stones around it...like a triangle...
  • Now put a thin white line where the red meets the pink...it just lifts the whole look...
For a touch of flair, top it off with a glittered polish...or just a clear polish..its your choice..in this case, i just topped it with glittered one...


Then finish it all off with a top coat...

A top coat gives the nails a 'plasticized look'...it makes it shinier... & lasts longer too...plus it dries faster

Note:
When you apply the stones, you don't need to use any glue at all...When my cousin saw my nails she asked if i used 'mighty bond' (an instant glue)..i was horrified! just thinking that i would use it on my nails makes me cringe...If the polish is already dry, then apply a clear polish over it so that the stones would adhere to it...


If ever you did this design, let me know,k?

Have a nice weekend,y'all!
