For this manicure, I originally was going to follow Nicole of Polish Me, Please! pink and grey plaid nail tutorial. I've yet to do a successful plaid manicure, and well Nicole's tutorial was easy to follow, so I figured I wouldn't mess it up. Leave it to me though, I did mess it up. Why? Well because it was so simple. Remember, I make disasticures out of every simple manicure I attempt. I actually think it was my color choice that made it so awful, but whatever. I'll try again soon.
I went to Pinterest and found these nails posted from the blog Polish Amor. I fell in love with them way back when and decided that now would be a good time to attempt them. Polish Amor's turned out way better, so beware.
Colors Used
- Base
- Zoya - Avery
- Stripes
- Sinful Colors - Sweet Dreams, Fig, Midnight Blue, Daddy's Girl
- Glitter
- China Glaze - Fairy Dust
Okay, maybe they didn't turn out that bad. I first started by painting on a base of Avery. From there, I added my lines with my nail art brushes. I tried to unevenly add them, but I don't know they all blended and blurred together. When the stripes were dried, I added some Fairy Dust over the top.
Does anyone else's Fairy Dust take like 30 years to dry? Of course, I added some Out the Door on top of these, but the Fairy Dust was still wet and i smudged and pulled my nails. It was lame.
What do you think?? You like? You hate?

Super pretty!! I've been wanting to try this type of mani for a while but I can never do straight lines so I don't think it would work out very well haha! But yours came out beautiful!! :)
ReplyDeletethank you! i never would have been able to do a straight line if it weren't for the nail art brushes! And my brushes are the tiny ones, not like those long striper bottle ones which NEVER do a straight line lol
