Neon Fishtail Nails

Hello!

It's been a bit cloudy around here so I did some bright nails to cheer me up. I have only done the fishtail design once before and I really liked it so I wanted to try it again.

So let's take a look at these neon nails.

Matte neon nails

I started with a white base of Sinful Colors Snow Me White plus top coat. I cut up small pieces of striping tape and set them all aside so they would be ready.

I started applying the tape in a fishtail pattern after the base was completely dry. Then with a detail brush I filled it each section with a different colored polish. I worked one nail at a time to avoid the polish from drying too quick. I removed the tape as quickly as possible and cleaned up around the nail. Applied one coat of Seche Vite top coat followed by one coat of Zoya Matte Velvet top coat to finish the look.

Here are the polishes used:

Sinful Colors 24/7 (original neon)

Fresh Paint Honeydew

Fresh Paint Guava

Zoya Matte Velvet top coat

Bridal nails

Hi!

Today I have a mani I did several weeks ago. I submitted these to Nail It! Magazine for their white/bridal prompt for their May/June 2016 issue. Fingers crossed it makes it in! 

It's a super simple glitter gradient over a white base. I think it's the perfect amount of sparkle for a wedding. This is probably what I would wear when the time comes to renew our vows :)

Zoya Aspen & Zoya Cosmo

I used Zoya Aspen from the Winter/Holiday Matte Velvet Collection and Cosmo. I love Cosmo so much I have a back up bottle! You can see a plain swatch of Aspen in my review here.

For this mani I did two coats of Aspen over a bare nail. I waited for it to dry a bit so probably around 10 minutes. Then I dapped Cosmo at the top and with the brush I sort of dragged the glitter down about half way on my nail. I did this twice and then did some glitter placement with the bigger hex glitters. And that's it. I didn't add any top coat since I wanted the base to stay matte. I really liked how this came out.

What do you think of this look? Would you wear it for a wedding?

See you next time! Happy polishing! :)

Holiday Bling Nails!

Hi my loves! 

Can you guys believe its December already? My birthday month! 

Christmas is getting closer so I have these holiday blingy nails to show you guys. I was sent these shiny rhinestones from Bornprettystore to review (item #21586) and I actually couldn't think of how to use them at first but I loved the end result! Keep reading after the break to see what I did with them.

Item #21586

These rhinestones are really pretty. They're very shiny and sort of multi-colored and they come in different sizes, which I really like!

I used two coats of Zoya Amal from the Matte Velvet Holiday 2015 collection without top coat as my base. Then I looked for the two smallest sizes for three of my nails. I added a bit of matte top coat near my cuticle where the rhinestones were going to go. I added three to each nail except the ring finger. I had no idea what I was going to do with that one!

I added some matte top coat and just started adding the rhinestones. I was going for a necklace type look I guess. 

Zoya Amal

Here is the finished look. I loved it! I didn't add any top coat over the rhinestones. If I wanted to wear this for more than a day I would've just added more top coat when placing them. That works very well for me  and I'm very rough with my hands. I think these will be my Christmas nails!

No macro but here's a closer look at my ring finger. I was very pleased with it.
