Hello everyone!
I know this is a kinda late post about this matter, but I came here talking to you about my New Year's Eve that I wore this last time.
I chose some simple, but beautiful and delicate nail art, that didn't end up being perfect, but the final result was pretty.
But I went completely insane! A couple of weeks before these pictures were taken I completely cut and filed my nails. They were so, but so small! In these photos they already have a little growth compared to my previous post (Grey Nails). I don't really like wearing around squared nails 'cause with my lifestyle I always end up breaking them in the corners. They start to be uneven and well... I always, honestly, end up chopping them off in no time!
Well, I know it is according to my lifestyle, because I make sure they are as strong as they can be! All you need to do is follow simple 5 tips:
- Always keep a good pair of washing up gloves at hand. At some point, water is your enemy. Water weakens the nails and can cause them to split, peel and break after a long exposure.
- Moisture, moisture and moisture! Always use a good hand cream, keep it close by and apply it after washing your hands.
- Choose a nail strengthening product. There are thousands of possibilities in the market.
- Use a good cuticle oil. Keeping your cuticles healthy is also another big deal. Use it regularly, allowing your nail to grow properly.
- Drink lots of water. Not only for your nail's health, but also for your general health, drinking at least 2 liters of water a day is essencial.
To make these nails you don't need a lot of things, only:
- A regular base/top coat nail polish.
- Red nail polish,
- Silver nail polish.
- Nude nail polish.
- Toothpick or a striping brush.
- After taking care of your nail apply a base coat and let it dry completely.
- Paint 3 of your nails red and 2 nude. Make sure you apply at least two layers of polish and let each one dry.
- With a toothpick or a striping brush make on each nail a triangle with silver polish.
- Again, with a toothpick or a brush, make a V shape on each nail using the opposite color that you've used before.
- Top coat it and let it dry.
And that's it. Super easy and fast to do.
Hope you've enjoyed.
Kisses,
