Nails: Time For a Real Manicure
Posted by Heather | Filed under Nails, Nubar
Since I change my nail polish about once every 3-5 days or so, my poor nails are a little ragged. I don’t take really great care of them, and they’re still growing out the ridges from when I had acrilics. So I caved and got an actual real manicure this time (done at the salon). I am seriously amazed at how long it stayed nice! By the second day, there was still not one chip!! I kept it on for like a full 5 days and it was looking ok. I don’t know how they do it and make it stay so nicely…wish I did!
Anyway, here is Nubar Peacock Feathers - two coats with a top coat. Isn’t it just brilliant under the sun?! You should see the beautiful job they did on my toesies! The flower design is really pretty too!
See a few more pictures of this supper pretty color - hints of blue, purple, pink, silver…ahhhh! Read the rest of this entry »
Nail Look: Nubar Indigo Illusion w/ Konad
Posted by Heather | Filed under Nails, Nails with Konad, Nubar
I’ve been so into nail stuff lately! Like you can’t tell right - almost all of my links are nail sites! Their nails just fascinate me. My nails are short by nature, and about a month or two ago I took my fake nails off, so they’re only about half way grown out. My nails are very soft - they bend and break very easily. Anyway, I painted my nails with Nubar Indigo Illusion (3 coats) which is an incredibly beautiful blue/green/red duochrome. It’s not one of those in-your-face blue colors which I like. The picture washes out my skin and makes the polish look a little brighter than it should. Then I decided to try this Konad stamping thing… I watched a few tutorials on youtube and did the best I could. My local beauty supply store had some plates and special nail polishes (to my surprise!) so I decided to check them out. I used the Konad white special nail polish.
I do my nails like once every 3 days so if I have something that comes out particularly nice or pretty, then I’ll post it, but this won’t be a regular thing :-) I encourage you to visit some of those sites over in my links too! If you’re interested in checking out Konad plates - Scrangie has a coupon code for 20% off plus free shipping over $20 (she’s seriously nail talented!). It’s surprisingly easy to do - this was only my second attempt!
