Hello. Today I decided to share these extremely simple yet gorgeous nails with you. 🙂 This photo is over ten years old. This picture was taken on March 25th, 2013.
Ah yes, heavy emphasis on simple, as it was just a mere swatch. This is one of my favorite nail polish combos of all time!
This combination was China Glaze For Audrey (the blue) and Glistening Snow. Glistening Snow was used in the last manicure I posted, and if you read my previous post, you’d know that Glistenin Snow by China Glaze has been discontinued for quite some time now. So I linked Zoya’s Cosmo instead, which is nowhere a perfect match, but it’s something, haha. Don’t get me wrong, I like Zoya’s Cosmo, but it’s very different from Glistening Snow, which I also like a lot.
Sally Hansen Double Duty Strengthening Base & Top Coat (I exclusively used this as a base coat only; it wasn’t a good top coat at all.): https://amzn.to/3QMjKXt
Hello everyone! I hope you enjoyed your Easter! I definitely enjoyed mine. For the first time, I made lemon sugar cookies with lemon glaze. They came out so soft, fluffy, and super tasty. I’ll definitely do it again sometime in the future, haha. As much as I would have liked to have posted more for this special holiday, I’ve been very busy with many other things outside of this website, so I didn’t have the time to post at all. 🙁 🙂 But it’s all good. 🙂 Anyways, today as you can see by the title, I have my Easter Manicure from 2014 to share with you! I actually didn’t even do my nails for this Easter, crazy right? It wasn’t my intention, and I seriously forgot to do them. By the time I thought about it, it was too late, haha. I at least did everything else such as dress up and do my hair in a festive way, lol. I’m in the process of also working on another website that’s going to include recipes, and all sorts of things, so if you’re interested, or at least curious, make sure you stay tuned for that. 🙂 OK! I have rambled on more than enough! Time for the beautiful throwback manicure pics! ^_^
This is definitely one of my favorite manicures of all time, no doubt. It was quite time-consuming to do but was beyond worth it. For the index and pinky fingers, I used a black nail art pen to draw the lines and dots. On the middle finger, I just did a simple border with round rhinestones, alternating between blue and pink. For the ring finger, I used rectangular-shaped pink rhinestones and gold micro-beads. The base nail polish I used for the middle and ring fingers was China Glaze’s Glistening Snow, and the on the other fingers I used Wet n Wild’s Teal Slowly and See.
It’s sometimes difficult to find dupes for some of the discontinued nail polishes I used to use to use back then, but I try.
