Hi everyone!
Today's design is inspired by the gorgeous monochrome nails Galorious did a few months ago - you can find them here. I loved the design on her pointer finger and pinky so much that I decided to recreate it :)
I also did a monochrome design with black and white, and added some gold studs like Galorious did.
Alpine Snow - OPI
Tweedy - Sally Hansen (Fuzzy Coat)
Black on Black - Sinful Colors
I actually made two versions of this design: one with Sally Hansen's Fuzzy Coat, and another one with just black nails. I'm still not sure which version works best - maybe the version with the plain black nails is a bit too harsh in contrast with the white? But on the other hand, maybe the Fuzzy Coat distracts from the nice simplicity of the design?
Which version do you prefer? I really adore these, I love the simplicity and class of these nails :)
Then a formal announcement to finish this blogpost: in the coming weeks, I will have to concentrate on school a lot. I have a lot of papers due and an exam I have to prepare for, so I will probably blog a little bit less or still blog but with simpler designs or swatches :) Just wanted to let you know! But after that, I have a really really cool review for you about which I'm suuuper excited! So stay tuned ;)
Thanks for reading!
Classic! Very pretty manicure, I like this fuzzy addition:)
ReplyDeleteThank a lot Ela! :)
DeleteThese are stunning! I like the fuzzy effect. Looks so cool and different!
ReplyDeleteThank you! The fuzzy coat is indeed something very different and cool! :)
DeleteWow! They look so elegant on long nails! Your nail shape is so beautiful! Its so cool that you recreated my design :D
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! I'm very glad that you like it, I just loved that design a lot and it looked so elegant, so I had to try it for myself :)
DeleteWe love the fuzzy version. It looks as though it gives really good coverage - did you have to use many coats? Can't wait to see your review, exciting!! E&J.xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Emma and Jo! I used two coats of Fuzzy Coat and then dabbed on a bit more where there were still some bald spots. It gives good coverage, because the polish is very very thick so you immediately get a lot of fuzzy stuff on your nails with one coat. Drying time is absolutely horrible though :/ It takes several hours before it's completely dry so I always use it before I go to sleep so it can dry the entire night haha! I'm very excited about my review too! :D
Deletewow, very nice, elegant and unique! I love it very much Robin!
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot! It does look very elegant right, I felt very posh when I had these on :)
Deleteoooo I love these!! I wish I could grow my nails as long as yours....damn witchy nails I have.
ReplyDeleteHehe thanks a lot! OPI's Nail Envy is the secret behind my long nails! :)
DeleteThese look beautiful! I love the negative space design on your index and pinky, it works perfectly with your nail shape :) Both with the fuzzy coat and plain black are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot Lucy! I think I'm liking the plain black and white combination the most at the moment, but it changes every day haha :)
DeleteI am not a big fan of fuzzy top coats, but in this combination it looks soooo pretty and elegant that I am definitely going to try it too. Until now I have just one in my collection, but it is combined with glitter and I used it just one time :)
ReplyDeleteI love it better without the top coat, it is more classy and elegant but in both ways the mani look great!
Thanks Andrea! I'm not such a big fan of my Fuzzy coat either, mainly because of the ridiculously long drying time :/ But I do like the effect on my nails :) I'm curious to see your fuzzy coat, it sounds very special with the glitter!
DeleteI definitely like the fuzzy coat design best. Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThank you! :)
DeleteWow love the busy look of the fuzzy coat!
ReplyDeleteThanks AJ! Hmm I hadn't thought of the fuzzy coat as "busy" but it does describe it perfectly! :)
