Fiery Flakies

I have a new job, therefore my post will be less frequent. Also, I decided to cut my nails down, so I don't have to worry about them breaking. I'll be doing a series of post featuring Nfu-Oh "flakies" over other polishes. Enjoy!

Floral Fantasea

Today's design is pretty simple. I finally tried out Orly's Fantasea which is a rosy-mauve color.

Featured Colors:

• Orly_Fantasea
• China Glaze_2030

Design:

• I used plate m65 to achieve the floral pattern.

Jewelry Inspired Design #2

Nfu-Oh GS-14 is one of my top five polishes. It's a black base with holo glitter and very unique.  I've only worn it twice and in the sun the glitter is a lot more noticeable.

I bought this ring a couple months ago and wanted to really make it my own. I decided to paint the flowers black and red using nail polish. 

Featured Colors:

• Nfu-Oh_GS-14
• China Glaze_Millennium

Design:

• For the Konad design, I used plate m74 on the thumb, m60 for the argyle pattern, and m10 the paw prints.

Flower Child

A friend of mine requested, actually demanded, that I do another sponge design. So, I tried out something pretty simple to demonstrate. I included some extra photos for each step of the process. Enjoy!

Featured Colors:

• China Glaze_Flip Flop Fantasy
• China Glaze_Sun Worshiper
• China Glaze_Towel Boy Toy
• China Glaze_Kiwi Cool-Ada
• Zoya_Creamy
• Special Stamping Polish_Black

Design:

• Step 1:  Cut off a piece of sponge.

• Step 2: Use 4-5 drops of nail polish on wax paper.

• Step 3: Dab sponge on to nails, slowly building color with each application.

• Step 4: Apply the Konad design to tip of nails. I used plate m60.
