Yellow and gold saran wrap louboutin nails



Hello everyone!



I started with pastel yellow, and used a small brush to paint the underside of my nails with a gold nail polish. Then I used the saran wrap technique to add a little gold nail polish over the yellow base, and added a coat of Seche Vite. This was supposed to be the base for my "Baby Prince Nails", so that's why I made louboutin nails. But I tested the baby blue stamping on the other hand, and it didn't turn out so well... I liked it like this, though.



Yes, I turned the photo. Yes I noticed the water in the bottle, but I like the picture better like this :-)






Saran wrap method:

I've had the saran wrap method on my "to do list" ever since I first saw a Saran nails tutorial on the blog Nailed It. (I hope I'm not hurting anyone's feelings by linking to her. I saw in the comments on that page that a similar tutorial had been made prior to that, but the link didn't work, so I don't know who to credit.) After that, I have seen saran wrap used in different ways; either by adding color, or by removing the second color, using wrinkly plastic wrap (also called saran wrap) as a tool.

This is how I did it:

I started with dry yellow nails, put some gold nail polish on my palette, dipped the saran wrap in the gold, dabbed on the palette until the saran wrap had the desired amount of gold polish, and dabbed on the nail.


Saran/ plastic wrap:




Nail polish used:

H&M: Want a lemon - yellow
H&M: Run Baby Run - gold



This was a very quick way of dressing up a manicure, and it makes me sad that I waited so long before I tried it. The reason why I did it now, was a A.I.S. challenge: "stamping over a saran wrap method base". I'll show you in the next post.

Red Carpet Oscar Nails: Antique gold and red stamped louboutin nails with Boom Boom Pow


Hello everyone!

Red Carpet Oscar Nails

I had planned to make this mani before watching the Oscars, but I didn't start until I watched the experts talk before the show. I love to see what the stars are wearing, and to see who wins of course. But this year I was surprised by all the great singers.

Used:

Stamping plates:
Konad: m63, m69
Bundle Monster: BM- 303

Nail polish (from left to right):
Gosh: Nero
H&M: Antique Gold
Deborah Lippmann: Boom Boom Pow
Konad: Red
H&M: Red




What I did:

I painted my nails black to achieve the gorgeous bottle color of H&M Antique Gold with fewer coats, but I liked that it looked a little darker. I tried to make a little gradient with Antique Gold first, and then with Deborah Lippmann Boom Boom Pow on the index finger and middle finger. But I wanted the fingers to look different, so I applied many layers on the pinkie, and the thumb and the ring finger are without glitter. Then I did the stamping, and painted the underside of the nail tips with a little brush. Next time I'll paint the underside earlier in the process. But this was my first louboutin nails, and I hadn't checked how to do it.

Did you watch the Academy Awards? Who did you wish would win? And if you made Oscar nails too, what did yours look like?
