Agent Lavender

How is everyone?
So many assignments in past week. Wished I'd started sooner.
Haven't done a Nail of the Day in a while so here is a nice soft lavender colour.

Lacy Nails

So bored last night so I decided to use one of my favourite nail polish colour and add a lace design on top. I used the Sally Hansen nail art pen in white to draw the patterns. It looks like a felt tip pen. It is really good because when you make a mistake you can wipe it off and start again. After you are satisfied with your design all you have to do is seal it with a clear top coat. The base colour is China Glaze in the colour 'ForAudrey' which is like the Tiffany and Co. blue. 


To achieve this look I applied a base coat, then 2 coats of colour. 


For the lace look just draw two parallel line about half a centimetre from each other. Fill it in with scallops and then draw scallops on the outside edges of the line and colour the edges in. Seal with a clear top coat.


Make sure you have allowed adequate drying time between each coat of polish. Also make sure the colour coat has been dried for a while so it's easier to draw in the design. 

What do you guys think of this design?

Nude Nails

Today I had a one hour lecture =( had to travel for an hour to uni and then go back home. But afterwards instead of going home I decided to stop by my favourite nail supply store. They sell OPI for half the RRP there =)

I found the best nude nail polish there. It has a glossy opaque finish and suits my skin tone well.

Here I've applied a base coat to protect the nail bed and two coats of the colour

I've tried another one by sportsgirl but it had a pearly pink finish and didn't suit my skin

What do you guys think? Have you tried any of these?
