Mara’s Birthday nail art month – DAY 18

DAY 18

Hey everyone,

did you see me crazy colorful dotticure from Mara’s Birthday Nail Art Month – DAY 2?
Today I have a more discreet one for you, using only pastel colors.

Here is what I used:

Ciaté – PP151 Loop the Loop
Ciaté – PP104 pepperminty
Maybelline – Colorshow – LE Bleached Neons – 241 sun flare, 242 coral heat, 243 tropink, 244 chic chartreuse
ORLY – harmonious mess
O.P.I. – my boyfriend scales walls

For this manicure all you need are the different colors and a dotting tool. Just like the other mani I already showed you, start dotting the colors onto the nail. You can mix up bigger and smaller dots if you want. I only used the end creating bigger dots. Start with one color dotting away on each nail. After that use the next color and continue until there are no blank spots left.

This is without a top coat

This is with O.P.I.’s matte top coat

I like the pastel version of this manicure better than the colorful one.

How do you feel about it?

DAY 17

Hey everyone,

today I have a very simple manicure for you.

Here is what I used:

Ciaté – PP065 Big yellow Taxi
O.P.I. – Alpine Snow
Ciaté – PP151 Loop the Loop
Maybelline – Colorshow – LE Bleached Neons – 241 sun flare, 242 coral heat, 243 tropink

At first you appy Big yellow Taxi to all nails except the ring finger. There you apply Alpine Snow. Let everything dry properly. When the ring finger is dry you take Maybelline’s Bleached Neons and apply a row of dots at the middle of the nail, using Loop the Loop by Ciate.Next to it on the left and the right you apply rows of sun flare, coral heat and tropink.

At last you can apply a clear top coat. That’s all.

I hope you like it.

Mara’s Birthday nail art month – DAY 11

DAY 11

Hello lovelies,

we are already at day 11 of my Birthday Nail Art Month, where I show you a new nail design everyday.

Today I choose three discreet colors, pastel colors. Two of them are from Maybelline’s LE Bleached Neons.

Here is what I used:

Maybelline Colorshow – Bleached Neons – 241 sun flare
ORLY – Harmonious Mess
Maybelline Colorshow – Bleached Neons – 244 chic chartreuse

What I did is easy. First apply two coats of the base color, harmonious mess, and let it dry completely.
For the next step you can either use french tip stickers to get a clean result or, if you are used to it like I am, free hand paint the orange tip (across, not horizontal) using Maybelline’s Bleached Neon 241 sun flare.

You could stop with the above step or use Maybelline’s 244 chic chartreuse and a dotting tool to dot on the line of the tip.
I only applied one coat of dots, but think two coats would have been better.
