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.

Day 7 - Mix and Match Nails

For this set of nails I used a combination of gel polish and regular nail polish. I got the colour combination and some of the designs from a pair of shorts I saw on Pinterest.

Some of the designs are hand painted, some are stencils and there are also some stamped designs. I made the stencils by drawing the design on adhesive address labels and then cutting them out. You could also do this with tape.

The neon orange polish is a regular Orly polish named Holla.
