Hello Nails

Got to love the houndstooth template.

The light blue and gold combi turned out well! Too bad the blue polish was matte, and therefore slightly thicker, so the masking lines (made by hole punch stickers) were not as crisp and I had to conceal it with dots.

Apply gold base, place striping tape, cover with a coat of black, and quickly remove the tape while the black coat is still wet.

First a turquoise base, then scotch tape stripes, and paint over with black polish.

Freehand two-tone nails.

Against a black base, I sponged on some white first, followed by burnt orange, purple, a dash of pink, and then added a little bit of glitter on the egdes of the splattered masses. 

Ta dah! Galaxy nails. One of the fastest, prettiest DIY nail art technique.

Very much in love with my newest purchase — China Glaze’s Luxe and Lush.
