Designer Thusday: Print Nail Art

As I will have a little bit more time this summer, I decided to do something fun. I love all kinds of prints, so I thought it would be interesting to try recreating some of them from the various runways shows and designer collections.

For my first nail art I have chosen the print from 2012 Mercedes Benz Fashion Week by Australian designer Manning Cartell. I really liked how turquoise stripe is added to traditional black and white combination.

I used:
- A-England Galahad;
- Nails Inc. Black Taxi;
- NYC 134;

Overall, I like how it turned out. I should probably have used special Black nail polish for konading, because this one is not opaque enough. But it shows only on the pictures, in natural light it’s almost unnoticeable.

Maybelline Outloud Lime swatches and a little bit of sparkles...

Hey Hey!! My today’s post is about Maybelline Outloud Lime mostly. It’s a very nice summer color, bright and positive green crème.

This is my first Maybelline nail polish and I don’t think I will ever buy other (only if I see super rare or unique color). I just don’t like the coverage. I needed 3 coats to make it opaque and each layer is very thick. Overall, the effect and durability is fine, but the application process is annoying.

I decided to add a little bit of glitter with NYC Starry Silver . I really love this combination.
