NAIL ART | GREEN SCALES

Hello everyone, I hope you’re doing fine. I’ve finally received my email regarding my exchange to Mexico, but am so stressed about finding a residence. Wouldn’t be so stressful if only I didn’t have to arrange this before the end of November (I know this seems far away but it really isn’t if you’re also busy with school).

Anyway for this look I was once more inspired by one of Robin Moses’ designs, one of her collabs with anaarthur81 (I hope I got the number right, if not my apologies). Anywho they came up with this design for the TV-show “V” and I really liked the green scales that Robin did. The plan was to also try to do the face she made on the ring finger, but I didn’t have time or energy to try it so green scales it was.

Products used:

• Black acrylic paint
• Scraperfect - best glue ever
• Mufe - black tango green black
• Essence - crystalliced glitter froster (LE)
• Seche vite topcoat
• Inaz - clover glam
• Green nail art foil

Overall I really like this look on my nails, something black with lots of shimmer and glitter. For next time I’ll try to topcoat the foil before I start using the acrylic paint. I should also try to remember to topcoat every other day to try to keep this looking neat for a few days. I also didn’t think I’ve used enough glitter for the design. Ah well better luck next time right.

What do you think of this look? Have you ever used nail art foil?

Make Up For Ever (Black Tango) - Blue Black

Hello everyone I was a bit upset when my last nailart didn’t really worked out. I was already tired from my early shift that day and being sick, but I still wanted beautiful nails for my aunt’s party. Normally I try to swatch my regular nail polish colors back to back when the weather is nice and then just wear a nailart design for the rest of the week. Unfortunately that wasn’t an option this time.

Since I already have to take my polish off before Sunday, I decided to just do a regular mani for the rest of the week. I chose one of my loves from the brand Make Up For Ever (MUFE) from their Black Tango collection, named Blue Black. Right before our Sephora’s closed I found this gem on sale next to the Green Black which I’ll swatch another time.

MUFE’s Black Tango Blue Black is a beautiful black based nail polish that reflects dark blue shimmer. It truly appears black until you look closely in lighting, it’s basically a kinda off-black color. As I’ve mentioned in previous posts that I no longer like true black nails, I really prefer this look. See for yourself…

Isn't it gorgeous? I just love these intense nearly black colors. Just can't have enough of them really. I mean look how beautiful the blue shimmer is with the flash, but appears so neutral in the shade. 

Manicure details:

• 2 coats of Make Up For Ever - Black Tango collection - Blue Black
• Essence Better than Gel Nails Topcoat

Do you prefer darker nails for fall?
