Red and Nude Nails

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: 

1. 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.
2. Moisture, moisture and moisture! Always use a good hand cream, keep it close by and apply it after washing your hands.
3. Choose a nail strengthening product. There are thousands of possibilities in the market.
4. Use a good cuticle oil. Keeping your cuticles healthy is also another big deal. Use it regularly, allowing your nail to grow properly.
5. 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.

1. After taking care of your nail apply a base coat and let it dry completely. 
2. Paint 3 of your nails red and 2 nude. Make sure you apply at least two layers of polish and let each one dry.
3. With a toothpick or a striping brush make on each nail a triangle with silver polish.
4. Again, with a toothpick or a brush, make a V shape on each nail using the opposite color that you've used before. 
5. Top coat it and let it dry.

   And that's it. Super easy and fast to do. 

   Hope you've enjoyed.

Grey Nails

Hello everyone! 

   First of all, I wish all of you a wonderful year of 2016. Full of health, happiness and wealth. 

   I've been working in this past December, so I wasn't able to paint my nails at all... But, I'm back to you with some gorgeous squared nails, painted grey and decorated with some fashion studs. 

   Don't they look beautiful?

   All you need to do is:

1. After you take a good care of your nails, apply a base coat and let it dry.
2. Paint your nails two coats of grey. Let your nail polish dry perfectly between each coat.
3. With a toothpick and a little clear polish, pick up little squared studs and put them on your nails evenly. I made a line with studs on my ring finger and thumb. 
4. Apply a generous amount of top coat and let it dry.

   As simple as that! And they look gorgeous!

   Kisses,
