Keepin' It Simple!

Saturday's mani was all about keeping it simple!

As a matter of fact, I thought to wear a plain poilsh colour on my nails and show you I can too do with a simple look...

Yeah... can't say that worked out as I thought it would ;)

I started like this:



This is the most beautiful shade of metallic silver I own at the moment :)
Flormar Wild Nails CW101 is a beautiful metallic polish, that leaves almost no brush strokes after the second coat :)



I was a bit annoyed as I woke up to some bubbles (see my thumb and pinky) and my desire to wear this shade alone faded a bit.
But worry not... ;)




I went for a look I hadn't tried (successfuly) yet: the half moon! And this time I nailed it! :D
I got my paper reinforcements and cut them in half.
I placed each half on my nail, pressing it carefully on the corners of my nail bed, making sure it wouldn't budge once I applied the polish! 




Here's a shot of the polish on top of the reinforcement.
And look at that divine orange! Haha! :D




And here's the finished look: I alternated with the two nail polishes I got Friday and was itching to try! :)
Prestige Orangerie (67) and Prestige Light Denim (58) are both gorgeous colours with magnificent finishes!
Y
ou can get away with one coat with Light Denim although you'll need two coats for Orangerie.




Finally, and because the sun shone in the afternoon, here's a lovely picture outside! :)
Can you see the wonderful shimmer both polishes have?
Orangerie has a golden shimmer to it and Light Denim has both silver and purple shimmer. I'm in love with both! :D


Can you tell I had a slow Saturday morning? haha
I even took in-between pictures for you! Do you like the step-by-step kind of blog post or do you prefer just the full finished look on photographs?

Let me know in the comments and tell me about your half-moons - have you ever tried it? 
Will you ever or is this a design you don't really fancy?


Hugs & Kissies,

  1. Love, love, love it! So simple and cute <3 And I really like Flormar. I only have 2 polishes from them because they are not available here, but I reach for them often.

    1. The paper reinforcements hadn't work out so well before - they kept allowing the polish to get underneath :| But this time, I got it right, so I'm really happy you liked it! **
      And I think Flormar is great too! :) I do love their consistency in terms of quality!
