CNT Presents ~ 26 Great Nail Art Ideas ~ Red & Pink

Hello Dahlings!

This time the Tarts are showing you ideas for red & pink manis.

I did this...

Yeah, I know.

Most of you think Valentine's

when you think about red & pink together.

When do I ever do the 'normal' thing?

My base color is a retired polish called Darkest Love 

from Cuttin' Edge Nails.

I stamped using a prototype stamping polish,

also from Cuttin' Edge Nails.

I used Sugar Bubbles Plate SB 036

from Beautometry.

Sara's prototype stamping polish picked up pretty well

& has a fun pinky purple shimmer to it.

Alas, my nails have gotten long enough again

that the full nail design I used didn't quite fit my nails.

The accent nails are reverse image decals I made

by picking up the image on the stamping head,

letting it dry then adding a thin coat of clear polish.

Once that dried, I colored it the image using a dotting tool.

Once that dried, I added another thin coat of the clear.

Once dry, I trimmed the decals to generally fit around my cuticles

& attached using a thin coat of the clear polish on my nail.

I trimmed the decal from the free edge

& cleaned up & tucked the decal edges using acetone & a brush.

Ciri is underwhelmed.

He thinks I need to do more cat manis.

What do y'all think?

Thanks for stopping by

& please check out the ideas

the other Tarts have to offer!
