Last night I got my mom to deviate from her usual Brown / Pink base with gold grass konied on top.......it's cute, but it was time for a change :) She was going to go with a pink base and a green palm tree stamped, but it wasn't working out quite right.
The design we finally settled on was a base of China Glaze - Emotion, a frosty pink shade. Then to stamp with we used China Glaze - Awaken, a frosty dark silver/charcoal. The stamp we chose came from plate M64. the design has some thick lines and thick lines, so to jazz it up I went over the thin lines with my silver Stripe Rite nail art pen (the same one I used for my NOTD yesterday). Even using my np thinner, those nail art pens will get thick on you in an instant. I think this would have looked better with a more contrasting color used for the stamp, like a gold, it would have made the silver additions stand out a little bit more. She seemed pleased with it, so that's what counts. I think I would have liked this better if my silver NAP (nail art pen) was working better. Anyone have any suggestions??
That's super nice!! Great color combo. Emotion is a stunning polish (I have that one myself) and I've been looking at this Konad plate specifically for this pattern, it's lovely!
ReplyDeleteI love that line design from that Konad palte and you made it better with your "jazzing up"! LOVE IT!
ReplyDeleteVANESSA - This was a really easy design to use too. I thought I might have trouble lining it up, but it seems to not show imperfections as much as I thought it wold.
ReplyDeleteLACQUER LAINE - Thanks! We both thought it needed a little something something to spice it up!
Love the color combo's and that pattern is great! You're so talented :)
ReplyDeleteVery pretty combo. Your Mom's nails look very pretty. I bet she is loving these skills you have. How's your sister who is pregnant doing?
ReplyDeleteMary - Thank you very much! I have always like pink and gray together.
ReplyDeleteLUCY - Thank you! She asked me if anyone thought her nails were fake, I said no one has said anything to me so far. But they are real. Yes, she does enjoy getting her nails done quite a bit.
My sister is doing good, thank you for asking! I might be using her for a product review really soon.
Wow, really nice!! That's so fun, your mom lets you do her nails. My mom is kinda...weird. Doesn't like makeup or NP, I have to practically convince her to at least wear lipstick out! Lol.
ReplyDeleteI love having Brooke do my nails. She does such a beautiful job. But I think the pink w/ gold for spring and summer and brown and gold for fall. Red and gold for Christmas.
ReplyDeleteCHRISSY - lol - well I guess some people are just like that!
ReplyDeleteMOM - Imagine that - gold, gold gold!!
