For the manicure, I started out with a base of OPI Love. Angel. Music. Baby. When it was dry, I applied striping tape and painted the whole thing using OPI I Sing in Color. While the polish was still wet, I removed the striping tape to reveal the design. Since the studs that I chose to use are matte, I thought it would be fun to have the whole manicure matted and I used Nicole by OPI Matte Top Coat to achieve that. I attached the nail studs using the nail glue included with them...
I just love the bold look of this manicure. Aside from a bit of color bleeding on my index finger, which I didn't have time to redo, this turned out exactly as I had imagined it...
Let me know what you think of this manicure!
Thanks for looking!

ReplyDeleteThank you so much! I think this collection really inspires bold nail art :)
DeleteI love matte manicures and I like playing with nail art studs too... Perfect manicure! :-)
ReplyDeleteI don't think I do enough matte manicures! I do love them every time I do though. I'm so glad you like it! :)
Deleteok, VERY cool. I stopped and stared at the first photo trying to figure out what you had done! Then I read on and realized they were studs.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! That means a lot to me! I agree that it does look somewhat different when you are looking at it from a distance. The studs just blended so well with the design :)
DeleteVery nice, unusual mani. I like the touch of matte especially on this one. I have L.A.M.B. and am loving it. I love how it looks with the matte black - I will have to get out my tape and give it a whirl!
ReplyDeleteYou should definitely try a striped tape mani again! It is a lot of fun and L.A.M.B. is one of my favorites <3
Deletep.s. I really hope that you, and all nail bloggers, know that when I, and I am sure all your fans, say how pretty your mani is that we are not just talking about the design and polish. That we also mean how nice your nails and cuticles are, what a great job you did in the cleanup (if needed) and the care you take of your digits!
ReplyDeleteI try hard to present good photos and make sure my nails are in good shape. I know that I don't like to see messy cuticles when I read someone's blog and I'm sure my reader's don't as well. Thank you for noticing and for all your kind words! :)
DeleteI love this!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much Esther! :)
DeleteThank you so much Marine :)
