Hey Everyone!! This is my second week doing the ABC Nail Challenge and I'm really having fun with it so far!! So this week is the letter F and I decided to go with a French manicure. I love French manicures because there are so many different looks you can create. I had a vision in my head of what I wanted my nails to look like, and then I got a little carried away... But this is what I finally came up with.
The camera made the rhinestones look mushed together & the two white dots on the tips of my ring and middle finger must be from the camera too!
I used 2 coats of
Social Ladder by
Sinful Colors as my base, it's a pretty pinkish/pearl shade. Then for the tips I used a basic black and a silver striping polish for the glitter. I used a heart image from one of the stamping plates that came in the
As Seen On TV Salon Express Stamping Kit I bought last year. I did a full review on it
here if you're interested. I've only tried stamping twice because I'm really horrible at it! That explains the lopsided heart on my ring finger lol, but I really didn't want to start all over again. I used a few rhinestones to give it a Happy Valentines Day touch then topped it off with some SV.
I'm pretty pleased with how they came out, like I said before the pictures make them look a bit sloppy. Anyway, I had fun putting this mani together and I'm looking forward to seeing everyone else's nails this week.
Happy Valentines Day Lovies!!!!
LOL, great minds think alike!! I love your French tips!! I especially love the rhinestones and the heart on the ring favor! Great job!!

Looks great! The heart stamping looks just fine too :))Stamping can be hard at first but when you get used to doing it, it's actually pretty quick and easy way to do some nail art.
ReplyDeleteThanks!! I know, that's what everyone tells me about the stamping. I just need to practice more because I really love how they look!
