Neutral Shapes

Hey guys!
Today I have a pretty fancy manicure for you.
I got this idea from a dress I saw Marie Claire magazine.
I was so excited to recreate this dress on my nails!
Well, I don't have much to say about this mani other than its neutral and its pretty simple.
The colors I used were an OPI (no name) White, Zoya Avery (Get it here!), and a Milani Black striper polish.
I used tape to create the basic shape in the center, then I used the black polish to create a stripe along one side as well as dots along the other side.
Well, that's that!
Enjoy!


Thank you for reading!
Have a great day!


C'est fini!:)

Scan me, please!

Hello again!
How are you doing today? :)
So, I saw today's brilliant manicure in Allure magazine and fell in love!
I thought.. "WOAH buddy, how creative and different!"
They are the bar-code nails!
Therefore, I just had to try it for myself.
I must say, she made it look much easier than it really was!
It took me two tries! I get frustrated easily, so this was annoying me. Plus it was sticky.
(Thanks, vodka!)
To do this cute design you will need: nail polish of choice, bar codes from a magazine, vodka (shots optional), PATIENCE, and a top coat. :)
PS: I would not recomment ThreeOlives Loopy. :p
First you will paint your nails the desired color. I chose OPI Steady as She Rose.
Once that is completely dry, you will dunk the bar code into the vodka then place on the nail, press the bubbles out, and hold in place for a few seconds.
Then you will peel the bar code off slowly. Voila!
Bar code nails.

Have the best day!

Hot Pink Racing

Hey hey! I hope everyone is having a beautiful day!
I just did my nails using Julep Meryl because I could't wait to try out this beatiful grey!
I also used a polish called Screamin' Fuschia by Funky Finger (can't remember where its from!)
for the hot pink racing stripe! I almost didn't add anything to the grey because it looked so chic alone so that's why
I didn't go overboard. I just did something very simple with it so I could still enjoy the grey for the most part.
Now I want to say just how much I liked the Julep polish! It was opaque with just one coat, but I used two just to
darken the color a bit. I think this is my first actual creme color and I struggle a bit with getting it on my nails smoothy, but I managed and I got the hang of it pretty quickly. I want more! :)
Okay, okay... here's my nails:
