Nail art #6

Lamest title ever, but I really didn't know what to call this post :/.

I tried my hand at some nail art over the weekend and am pretty satisfied with the end result :). The design was inspired by this photo, but I decided to choose a lighter colour since I've been wearing some rather pigmented polishes lately.

Polishes used:

Sportsgirl - Baby Elephant
Glossyblossom Two-way nail art - #S08 (white) and #S03 (purple shimmer)

I applied two coats of Baby Elephant as a base for my third and fifth fingers. (I think my bottle is getting a bit old, the polish was noticeably thicker this time round compared to the last.) This polish is a lovely greyed out light purple, with shimmer throughout to give it an overall gorgeous look. You can see the amount of shimmer there is in the polish in the bottle! I then used my striper to apply the white stripes. For my first and fourth fingers, I freehanded a french tip with Baby Elephant (again, two coats), then added the purple strip to 'neaten' out the look. I made use of my dotting tools to apply the dots, again, using the white polish from the striper polish. I really love the end result :).

Nail art #5 - Second attempt at stamping

I tried some stamping again today, to see if my skills had improved from my previous (faily) attempt. And I'm proud to say that yes, it has! :D

Stamped with Rimmel's Your majesty.

Out of ten nails, only one nail (right fourth finger) came out smudged. Now that I seem to have acquired the basics to stamping, I'll have to work on position and transferring the whole image from the stamper to the nail, lol. You can see that my stars are all slightly different since I didn't get the full image onto the nail ^^;;.

China Glaze - Lasso my heart

I really didn't like my nails lol, so I decided to change them. I was at Uni today and kept on hoping people wouldn't notice my nails...not exactly the kind of response we polish lovers want from others, eh? ^^

And so I present to you, CG's Lasso my heart. What a gorgeous, gorgeous polish! *___* Normally, I avoid red/pink toned polish shades because I'm just not into them, but boy am I glad I picked this one up. Magnificent!

This has convinced me that red/pink toned polishes aren't that bad. Now I'm more than ready to try out my other red polishes! :D

Thanks for dropping by.
