    I created this ‘so Tumblr’ look using the nail polishes from Ciaté’s Nail Taxi polish set. I really like how the red stripes used together with blue-grey polish and dark glitter accomplish the look.

    Recently I have noticed the increasing popularity of the half French manicure. So here I have created a trendy half French mani (and classic French on some nails).

  4. Pink Glitter and White French Tips

    To create his glamorous gradient from pale pink glitter to white, I used Beauty UK: Glam Nails — Pink Glitter No.74 as a glittery base for my manicure (I applied two coats). Then, using Madeline Poole’s technique I applied white nail varnish to my tips. It doesn’t really matter what nail polish to use, as soon as it’s pure white and opaque. But here I used W7 — 34 White.

    Glitter Jelly Sandwich technique dulls the glitter to create a more subtle and delicate look. In other words, your manicure will be glossy and shiny, but not too sparkling.

    This is my first tryout of the glitter sandwich technique. I can’t say that this attempt was successful, but not a disaster either. Anyways, we always need something to start from. A good thing about this mani is that I managed to achieve the effect of depth, which means that some glitter sparkle more, and some glitter “sank” deeper into the nail. (more…)

  8. New Year’s Eve Nails

    Red nails with glitter

    We girls always know in advance what are we going to wear for a party. Because I knew, that I’m wearing a red dress for the New Year’s Eve, I started to think about my manicure in advance. I wanted something, that looks like Christmas, but not too complicated to create. So I created red French nail design with chunky silver glitter from Primark Beauty. (more…)
