Wired Nails

This design was invented by NailYourIdeas and is called Wired Nails.

For this manicure I used Seventeen - Bronze Shimmer and Collection - 20 - Storm Grey.

To make Wired Nails you need a sandwich bag or something similar to make decals on. If you got the Über Chic Beauty stamping mat, then count yourself luck and use that.

I started out with 4 coats of Seventeen - Bronze Shimmer and made lines with a dotting tool, after it had dried I added topcoat. While it was drying, I made another decal using Collection - 20 - Storm Grey and did the same with that.

I applied Collection - 20 - Storm Grey to all my nails except the middle finger, which got Seventeen - Bronze Shimmer on it. I added the alternating wired nails decals on top.

Seventeen - Bronze Shimmer and Collection - 20 - Storm Grey

As you can see from middle finger, Collection - 20 - Storm Grey did not show up that well over the base. It makes for a cool shaded effect, but if you want it to show up crisp, be sure to use a more opaque polish for these designs.

Violet Beauregarde - inspired manicure

Violet Beauregarde, also known as the "blueberry girl" in Charlie and The Chocolate Factory.

I decided to go for the Original movies when doing this manicure. After all. It's the first. Pictures at the bottom of this post.

This movie is from the inflation scene.

I had been asked to do a tutorial on this nail art, so here it is:

Hope you liked it :)

UK Haul Part 3

I decided to split these posts in several parts, since there was so many polishes to cover, and I get overwhelmed when there is to much. So that's why my new babies needed three posts.

UK Haul:

Part 3

This one will have the odds and randoms I bought, and non of these where on my wish list prior to the trip.
