On Trend: Festive Red & Gold Chevron with Essie!



 1. Two coats of Essie Fishnet Stockings 
+ two coats of Mavala White stripped on with a thin artists brush


 2. Two coats of Essie Beyond Cozy also stripped on with the artists brush


 3. And finally one coat of Essie Fishnet Stockings applied straight with the nailpolish brush




Hey Beauty Lovers! I had a little time on my hands and decided to create something different, I wasn't sure where I was going with it but eventually settled with this chevron design. Firstly, I already had two coats of Essie Fishnet Stockings on. Using a thin artists brush, on top I applied Mavala White in stripes from the tip of the nail pulling down towards the base of the nail. Repeating this step twice for more opacity, which helps the glitter to stand out more. Next using the same technique I applied two coats of Essie Beyond Cozy. And finally one coat of Essie Fishnet Stockings applied straight with the nailpolish brush, leaving the chevron design just popping out from underneath. It's a little twist on the classic red nails, perfect for the festive season!

On-Trend: White & Silver Ombre Glitter Nail Look!









Hey Beauts! SS13 catwalks of Rag & Bone and Moschino showcased white nails. This trend caught up with me and I decided to put two trends together: white nails + glitter. The inspiration came from the cover of Ukrainian VOGUE DEC 2013 issue, which had white and silver theme carried through with jewellery and fashion. To create this look I applied two coats of Mavala in 49 White [which is super opaque] and using the sponging technique for the ombre effect [click here! to see how] I applied a couple of coats of Essie Beyond Cozy.
