Nail Luxxe Guest Post Week 2

 

 Hi everyone, Nail Luxxe here!

Jade's let me pop over again to show you another look :)

White and gold is one of my all time favorite colour pairings. So I decided to translate that onto my nails in today's manicure, which uses all Barry Ms.

Starting with one coat of White I painted the whole nail and waited for it to dry.  Then I went in with a beauty sponge and dabbed Barry M's Gold Foil from the top of the nail to the centre, easing the pressure as I went.  (If it wasn't for Jade I wouldn't even know that this is referred to as a 'mottling technique'!) To complete it, I added a coat of topcoat.

For some reason it makes me think of desert sand, maybe because of the textured effect. Or it could have something to do with the beautifully hot weather we've been having lately!

I hope you have a great rest of the week.

Guest Blogger Post By Nail Luxxe Striping Mani

Hi everyone!

I'm super excited to be guest blogging here today!  Ever since I discovered Life in Lacquer, I was smitten.  What I love most about Jade's designs, is that she is constantly inspired by everything around her and manages to come up with fresh new looks all the time.  So I had to put my thinking cap on when it came to this manicure!

Today's nails were inspired by three things: a pin that I had seen on Pinterest which used similar colours, a recent manicure I did which used two unequal sections of nail colour and my favourite nail accessory - striping tape!

First I applied two coats of Raspberry over a base coat.  Then when that was dry I painted a horizontal line across each nail at varying lengths and filled it in with Slate by Beauty UK. To tie the whole look together I added a piece of gold striping tape where the two colours met and finished with a top coat.

Hope you guys like it!
