Black Lace and French Manicure and How to

Hello dear readers:

The nail art I'm posting today is a remake of something I already did once before I started this nail blog. It is a combination of French manicure and lace. Details on how I did it below:

I started with one layer of basecoat. Using Kleancolor in black, I painted French tips using the nail polish brush. I didn't use adhesive guides this time. I think it looks better if I use my natural nail smile lines as my guide.

I stamped on top of the nail bed area with a lace pattern from A40 stamping plate using Kleancolor black as the stamping polish. I wanted to give this manicure a bit more glam so I added one layer of a glitter nail polish on top of the French tip.

What do you think of the combination of lace and French manicure?

Challenge: Using a French Tip Design

Hello again!

Last Sunday's challenge on FB group, Adventures in Stamping was using a french tip design. The cool thing is that I could use a french tip design and stamp it any way I wanted.

This time I decide to do a simple manicure:

I used: Zoya Gigi as the base and stamped designs from Konad m77 plate using Kleancolor Black.

If you would like to know how I stamped the accent nail you can click here.

Did you like this manicure? How would you do it differently?

Pearl White French Manicure

Hello again dear readers!

Sorry for not posting as often as I would like to, blame my camera for that. I really take pride in taking good care of all my stuff. My Sony camera has lasted for 8 years now, and is still as good as new...but the pictures always come kind of dark and every time I take picture of my nail art, I have to edit the lighting. Sometimes I'm too lazy to do that every time I want to do a post.

Well, I want to show you my french manicure which has lasted me for more than 10 days and I'm still wearing it. I wash the dishes and do chores around the house, I'm not a princess... I'm always impressed that most of my manicures last  2 weeks or more.

I started with a basecoat, and for this French manicure, I used French tip guides. I painted the base of the tip with White On by Sally Hansen. My manicure was clean looking but I wanted something else, so I used Mia Secret French Manicure nail polish in White Pearl. Pearl finish nail polishes can be a little bit streaky, so I used the sponge to apply the nail polish.

I really liked my French mani with a pearl finish. I think it looked bridal-like and I loved it.
