This was supposed to be a Mani Monday but I'm a bit behind. To make up I'll give you a double feature!
I'll start with my Mom's as I did hers first. It's based on the design of the Glossybox I received last December. To recreate it I started off with two coats of Collection 2000 - Buried Treasure over a base coat, as it was the closest shade I owned to the box which is a sort of warm/rose gold colour.
I then sponged China Glaze - White on White onto the tips of her index, middle and little fingers. On those same fingers I haphazardly dabbed China Glaze - Chillin' With My Snowmies in a kind of snowfall gradient. I still had to place some of them to keep the biggest glitters away from the bottom of the nail.
On her thumb and ring fingers I simply sponged Nails Inc - Champagne Graffiti to the desired amount, as I still wanted a tiny bit of the rose gold to come through.
My nail design has been influenced by several nail art designs I've been looking at on Pinterest - where you can also find me.
I started with two coats of Ciatè - Morning Dew and added a coat of Seche Vite. Once it was fully dry I added snowflake vinyls, which are part of Twinkled T's Holiday Vinyl Bundle. I however got them as part of their Limited Edition Holiday Bundle. Anyway, I painted over the vinyls with China Glaze - I'd Melt For You and a little of Ciatè - Looking Glass. I then added a matte topcoat to let the iridescence of the Morning Dew "shine" through in a different way.
For my ring finger, I painted two coats of China Glaze - White on White and then a coat of Butter London - Frilly Knickers and finally a matte top coat. Once that was fully dry I sponged on Barry M - Silver around the tip and up the side of my nail and then poured on some fine silver glitter and brushed off the excess. On top of this I also dabbed light glitter coats of Essie - A Cut Above and London Girl - 42 and added a thick coat of Seche Vite, careful not to get any on the matte part of my nail.
Unbelievably I've chipped this already, so hopefully later this week I'll be posting a new mani.
