NOTD: Pink & Orange French {three versions}


Another recent NotD.
I wore this for my mother's birthday last week.
I never tought that orange and pink could match this well but when I tried this I really liked it.
I liked it so much that I made two versions of this mani and also a pedi.
I took inspiration from this nail art I saw in a mag (don't remember which, sorry!).

In the first two pic is the "basic" version. I used KIKO no.280 and Miss Sporty no.140 for the french and topped everything with KIKO no.228, a silver glitter.


Here is the "bling" version with some stars and hexagonal silver glitter.


Here the whole look. For the pedi I just alternated pink and orange.

What do you think? Want to see more matching mani and pedi?

Tutorial #007: Metallic Waves

Here is my new pedi.

The result is different from what I planned but I really like it.

What you need: a thin brush.

Colors:

Smalti
  • Base Coat: Deborah 7 Days Long No.00
  • Blu: COLLISTAR No. 44 BLU
  • White: KIKO No. 101
  • Glitter Gold: KIKO No. 164

How to:

  1. 02b Apply a base coat.
  2. 03b Draw the stripes. You don't have to be perfect. Be sure to put a lot of polish.
  3. 04b With the brush, mix the colors. You can go in one or more directions. Clean the polish on your skin. At this point I already liked the result but I wanted to add some glitter to make it more mettalic and eye-catching.
  4. 05b I added some gold glitter. It's really sparkling and it hides the imperfections.
