It's great to see Erika from Chloe's Nails back to blogging, she does some awesome manicures! When I think of her I instantly think of funky French manicures in all kinds of colors, and I wanted to go for the one with the sheer pink with black tips and accent nail. So that's what I tried a while ago, but my nails are just too stained to get away with a sheer pink. Yellow/pink nails just aren't so charming, eek!
This time I went for a covering pink instead, and that did the trick. I used my Konad black for the tips, because it covers in 1 coat and the tips won't get too thick that way. I added a little sticker as accent and finished the mani with Seche Vite to give it that crazy shine.
China Glaze Something Sweet with taped tips in Konad Black and an Essence sticker as accent.
The edges aren't as clean as I'd like (I was a little bit too slow with removing the tape), but if I freehand my tips it usually looks like I tried to make waved tips, so I'm happy with how this turned out =)
You know I love to keep my manicures in the same colors, but I'm really enjoying this pink/black combo, it's such a fun mani! What do you think of the result?
This looks so pretty. I always try to do funky frenches like Erika..but then my nails conspire against me and break :(
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! Definitelly very Erika"esque" :)
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty!!
ReplyDeleteLooks gorgeous like runway models. I can never get those darned tape manis to look good :-/
ReplyDeleteIt's very pretty and simple but classy at the same time. :)
ReplyDeleteSo cute! ♥
ReplyDeletewow!! your nails are beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteLoveeee this! So beautiful.
ReplyDeleteSimple and pretty. And so easy to see where the inspiration comes from... her style is really recognisable. :)
ReplyDeleteSoft pink and black is always a good combo. This looks really pretty!
ReplyDeleteoh! I LOVE it! beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!!! I like this a lot!!
ReplyDeleteI love this!!! I prefer more "clean" looking manis and this one is just perfect!! great job =))
ReplyDeleteI so feel you about wavy ends. lol I also think of funky french when someome say Chloe's Nails. Or tape manis. Both are her signatures. And your take is also amazing, Something Sweet is probably my fave baby pink and I wouldn't usually wear black but in this combo I def would. <3 Gorgeous! <3
ReplyDeleteTurned out great! Totally looks like a Chloe manicure!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I did a very similar mani with silver foil tips and a butterfly sticker on the ring finger. I love these sorts of mani's cos they're fun and not too over the top!
ReplyDeleteThis looks amazing. So feminine yet dare I say ... sexy..
ReplyDeleteThis mani is hot and cute at the same time ;)
ReplyDeleteJust caught up on your archive and I am amazed by your stamping skills! You've inspired me to try harder with the full nail designs. I can't wait to see what you come up with next.
