Silver Dipped

Hey!

Today I have on my "silver dipped" nails. I love the way the silver tips are much more subtle than something I would usually wear. This blue color is one of my top ten favorite colors of all time, I think it is ranked at number two in my nail polish hoard ( Number one would be O.P.I.'s Suzi Sells Sushi by the Sea Shore which I have blogged about before ). For this look I used O.P.I. I Vant to be a Lone Star ( blue) and a popular one, Revlon Top Speed in Metallic ( silver ). Here are my current nails:

How To Get This Look:

1. Prep with a base coat.

2. Paint two or three coats of blue.

3. Take a old, cheap lip-gloss brush and pour nail polish remover on it then let dry.

4. Dip the now clean lip-gloss brush in the silver and draw on a silver stripe where the white part of your nail would be.

5. Finish with top coat.

Voila! Your silver dipped nails are done!

I love anything that re-invents the classic french manicure and this look is definitely going in my book as one of my favorite french tip manicures!

Starry Nails

Hi guys,

Today I am going to show you how to make "starry nails". It is quite easy but I used a Konad nail stamper and nail plates for the tips some of you may not have that but that is okay! You can still do this just with a solid french tip in the blue color. The plate I used was not actually Konad brand but Monster brand I got from Amazon ( It was a great deal something like 20 plates for twenty dollars! ) it's number is BM10. The colors I used were Revlon Top Speed in Metallic ( silver ) and on the the tips I mixed three colors: Nicole by O.P.I in Virtuous Violet and Sally Hansen extreme wear in Blue It and Black Out. Here is a picture:

How To Get This Look:

1. Prep with a base coat!
2. Paint entire nail sliver.
3. On a turned over nail plate mix the purple, blue and black the ratios should be 5:2:1
4. Use the stamper with nail plate according to how your brand tells you to.
5. Finish with top coat.
Voila! Your starry nails are done!

When most people hear the words "starry nails" they then think it is about nails with literal stars on them. This look is just so shiny and pretty it's hard not to love it!
