Manicure Monday - Pink and Silver Nails

Acrylic nails with gel polish

Today we have a set of sculpted clear acrylic nails with a custom blended gel nail polish on top. To make the pink colour I mixed a hot pink with a french pink to lighten the colour without turning the colour into a pastel which happens when you use a white polish to lighten colour.


On the ring finger is a silver glitter finger applied in the normal way. I plan to do a step by step post on this, the next time I do my own nails.

Also on the thumb I stamped some flowers using the Konad m57 plate before applying topcoat.

You may notice the Manicure Monday in the title again, I am planning to post a nail design every Monday if I can keep up with it. I have 3 weeks planned already so hopefully that is enough of a head start to keep up with it. I'm not promising post on any other days but there will most likely be a few other odd posts here and there.

Red and Gold Nails

Today I did a set of clear sculpted acrylics and finished with regular nail polish. On all fingers except the ring finger is OPI Red and on the ring finger is Orly Luxe.

These nails are for a wedding, she wanted red nails to match her planned red lips.




Also on the ring finger is some white stamped lace which I did using the m57 plate. We also stamped some lace on the thumb in the Orly Gold Polish.

More Nails

Here are two nail designs I did last year. It has been awhile since I have posted on here, so I thought I would share these with you.

My nails with nail polish, gel topcoat and hand sculpted pink acrylic bow.

Friends nails - sculptured acrylic nails with blue glitter tips and snowman hand painted with acrylic paint.

Nails

Here are a few of the nail designs I have done in the past year or so. Please excuse the poor quality photos, most were taken with my phone.

These are acrylic nails I did on myself. The have a gel topcoat and nail art on the ring finger. They are small purple beads with a flower.

Here are my friends nails, again with acrylic, although with a purple glitter tip. I mixed purple glitter with a clear acrylic powder before mixing with the monomer and applying to the nail.

Another friends nails, this time gels. The glitter was applied before the gel topcoat as well as the pink and blue rhinestones.

Here are my mother's nails with a subtle pink water marble with regular nail polish.

My own nails again, this time with a retro looking design that I absolutely love.

My nails again.... This is bluesky shellac with a glitter on top.

These are my sister's nails, there are two pictures because I think they are awesome. They are my version of a galaxy nails, done using Bluesky shellac over a gel nail overlay.

Any questions, don't hesitate to ask.
