Good morning dear readers!
I'm quite excited about today's post as it features a new type of manicure for me. But before I show you my efforts, let's start with my base colour, Kiko 346:

I absolutely love this colour yet this is only the second time I've worn it after purchasing it last spring!

I'm not sure how to describe the shade although the pictures are quite accurate. Green agate maybe? Dark green jade?

Now we get to the framing :-) I'm sure there's plenty of potential here for colourful and creative designs but as this was my first time I wanted to keep things simple. I used my dotting tool to place dots of Barry M Silver Foil around the edges of my nails.

I then decided to stamp a butterfly in each frame using Konad plate m36.

What do you think girls? Is this a trend you like?

Bye for now,

That's a neat idea! I love the butterfly detail!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteOoh, that's pretty, I love that.
ReplyDeleteI would have stamped the butterfly first, but that's just because I'm still not precise enough with the stamp. :D
Thank you :-) I wish I'd stamped the butterfly first as I messed up the placement a few times! Next time will be better ;-)
DeleteI love this look! I need to try it myself!
ReplyDeleteOoh I look forward to seeing your creation :-)
Deletelove it. imay tried soon!
