Ciaté Metallic Foil Nails

For these designs I used a method I haven't used before but it was pretty easy and I like the results of it.

For this I used the 'Very Colourfoil Manicure' kit from Ciaté.

The kit includes a nail polish - Kiss Chase, Foil Fix (glue) and small pieces of what I guess we should call the Foil.

For this you start with base coat as normally to protect your nails. Then you put two layers of the nail polish which was included in the kit. When its completely dry you put some foil fix on some random spots on the nails and then put the foil paper on, just press it first and pull it off quickly. Then you just repeat putting on more foil until you are completely satisfied. Then finish with a coat of top coat. Super easy!

It's an easy method and it gives an great results without having to have loads of experience and time to make it super carefully. I think this is a great method where you can be a little sloppy but will still get a great design.

Silver Heart Nails

Time for another Valentines Day design, this time it's something really easy but pretty according to me.

For the base I didn't use any tools. Since I'm wearing gellac I already had white base so I just took the pink one and painted half the nails. It was the lightest color and was easiest to paint over so it' didn't have to be super straight. Then I took the red one and painted over, trying to do it as straight as possible.

Then with dotting tools I made silver hearts in the middle of all the nails and on the ring finger I added dots around the edges of the nails to create an accent nails. I think this design would look good matte too, maybe I should try that. 

The nail polishes I used was these -


Don't forget the base coat. 
Pink - H&M - Preppy Pink
Red - Claudia - All Red
Silver - Isadora - Silver Sparkle 
Top coat - Seche Vite


Have any question about the design or want a tutorial? Just leave me a comment!

Matte Nails

I'm really into matte nails right now. Yesterday after wearing this design for a day I decided to make it matte. I love matte nails when you get nail polishes with glitter in them like this design. To do them matte I used Essies Matte About You.

It's so much easier taking pictures of matte nails, just saying.

And here is a little comparison between shiny and matte -



Which one you like the most?

Gradient Cheetah Nails

Today I wanted to do something easy so I did something I really know how to do so I made a cheetah print design. But to do it a little funnier I added a gradient background to it all.

I did the cheetah prints with a dotting tool and the gradient with a make up sponge.
