NYFW: Hand Laid Stones (Inspired by Libertine)

I've been really enjoying finding inspiration from the catwalk for my latest nail art designs. This one is very simple but the overall effect is quite stunning that I was left wondering how I didn't think of this one myself. If you are a DIY person then stick around to see how I did my version of this manicure seen during NYFW by Libertine.


Get the look:
1. Apply your base coat and two coats of a neutral polish such as China Glaze Kalahari Kiss or Classic Caramel. Allow to dry fully.
2. Using an assortment of sizes, shapes and colours for nail art gems, apply to the nail bed near the cuticle area and then down the side of the nail bed all the way to the tip. Use tiny amounts of clear polish to anchor your gems into position.
3. Seal and lock the gems in with a clear top coat.


Isn't this super simple? I used many colours for this design but you can also try sticking to a theme of colours or even one colour gems for yours. The possibilities are endless.

Let’s start with what I do love about the palette. It’s simple black compact that has the same sleek look as the other Revlon photo-ready items. I find a highlighter, contour shade and blush in one palette is a great idea too. Having more blush colour in terms of quantity with smaller sections for the highlighter and contour makes perfect sense since I will use more of the blush anyway. The colours as they appear in the pan look perfectly coordinated to work with each other. You get a small brush with soft bristles in your kit to ensure you can just pop this in your bag and you’re off.  In the sunlight Now here is where it all goes downhill like Jack and Jill with their pail of water. Let’s start with the swatches which made me think twic

Marble Hearts: BCD Nail Art Challenge (Day 13)

Today's challenge utilizes the technique of dry water marbling to create your pattern. I'm doing a twist of it but doing a needle drag i.e using a needle or any fine point for just a smidgen of swirl to the colours used.
