The Mismatched "Gilded" Mani

(for those of you who can't decide what colour to use... use 'em ALL!)

2. Use a good base coat to start.

3. Choose which nails will have which colours and paint two coats of polish on each nail.

4. Finish with a good top coat.

Summery dots...

This week I have chosen a fresh, fun and simple dotted mani...

1. Start with clean nails. Paint a good base coat on your nails.
2. Chose a colour as a base. I chose an OPI called Pandamanium Pink.
3. With a dotting tool create some dots in a darker shade of purple. Repeat with another purple shade and perhaps a green like I chose. Use both the big and the small ends of the dotting tools for variation.
4. Allow to dry for a bit and then protect your design with a good top coat.

Ombre Pink Nails

Pretty Pink Ombre Nails...

1. Make sure your nails are clean and dry

2. Choose a hot pink polish. You are going to add various amounts of white polish to the pink to get the Ombre effect

3. Paint your first nail the hot pink

4. Draw a stripe on the top of the ring finger

5. Mix a bit of white polish into the pink to achieve the next shade

6. Paint onto next finger and paint a line below the dark one on the ring finger

7. Continue these steps for the rest of your fingers...I recommend doing fingers on both hands with each color ie. Hot pink...do both thumbs and both ring finger lines, lighter pink do both index fingers and lines across ring fingers...etc.

8. When you complete all the nails, wait a bit then protect your design with a good top coat

Tiffany Themed Nails

Tiffany Nails

In honour of my Nephew's Bar Mitzvah I did Tiffany themed nails.
The colours my sis chose were the blueish green tiffany colour, silver and white. So I did my nails to match.

1. Gather all the polishes you will need for this manicure. I used Sally Hansen Triple Shine Polish in Dive In, a silver striper, and Essie Blanc

2. Paint your nails with a good base coat.

3. Paint your nails with 2 coats of the Tiffany Blue polish allowing a few minutes of drying time between. It is important to try to make the coats thin as to prevent bubbles and depositing too much polish.

4. With a white striper, create a horizontal line and a vertical line (like the ribbons on a gift)

5. With the silver striper create a bow in the cross section of the white stripes.

6. Allow your design to dry for a bit and then add a coat of triple shine top coat to protect your design.
