Sunday Nails #6: Pink Rhinestone Tip

Pink Tips with Rhinestones


I saw this when I was watching one of my fav Drama atm (Gentlemans Dignity)
It was so pretty on her and I wanted to try to recreate it. 
While doing this, I thought, why not share it with you.
Keep in mind that this is my first time doing this and it may not be perfect.


Here's what I used:


  • Revlon Base Coat
  • Revlon Top Coat
  • Barry M ~ Strawberry 309
  • Barry M ~ Glitter - this is a limited edition, you can use any nailpolish with glitters; white or pink will work :)
  • Rhinestones: I bought these from Ebay. you can find them easily. :)





I recommed you to lay the rhinestones out upwards as so ↑ before starting to paint. 
it'll be so much easier to do this.


with Revlon's Base Coat.


1st coat of the pink polish on the tips of your nails.
this step doesnt have to be perfect. Stroke the brush downwards from your tips randomly.


2nd coat, again do it randomly :)



  use your glitter polish as a 'glue' for your Rhinestones. and again, put them randomly. If you don't want any rhinestones, you can leave it with glitters just like my pointy finger. →

After doing this, youre pretty much done! just finish it off with your favorite top coat
i'm using Revlons top coat
Don't forget to use 2 coats of your top coat to make sure that the Rhinestones are secure.


It's up to you how youre going to do this, I did this just to give you a little guide. :)

Hope you had a great weekend!

If you're curious how Matte Nails looks like then.. 
scroll down :)
.
.

What I used:

  • Revlon Quick Dry Base Coat
  • Barry M Nailpolish in ~ 47 Black
  • Rimmel 60 Secs Nailpolish in ~ 610 Metallic
and ofcourse..
  • H&M's Matte Top Coat 



as always, moisturize your hands and nails beforehand :)


with revlon's base coat


with two coats of both nailpolishes. I used a metallic one on my ring finger just to 
show you how matte top coat will look like with lighter colour.

I didnt expect thiss. lol. while I was about to coat my nails with thiss and...
can you imagine how I used this brush? haha.


mine looks a bit messy but i'll clean it up later.



For some reason, Matte top coats look good with dark nailpolishes. 

It's kinda like one of those BMW cars, I've never seen a white matte car. It was always Black.
Have you noticed that too? no? lol. (im so random sorry) maybe its just me.. 

but yeah, I prefer Matte top coats with Dark Nail polishes on top. :) ~that's just my opinion.

I kinda like this look actually :)

There you go
a little information about matte nails :)
Thanks for reading!
