Winter Frost Inspired Nails Tutorial

end result

Hey my sweetest readers,

As some of you might probably know... I am currently stuck with writing some reviews... that doesn't mean the posts have to stop this week.

I have decided to do a nail tutorial for all of you instead. Pink has always been one of my favourite nail colours because not only is girly, it very subtle and versatile... it works with virtually every outfit and look.

Inspiration:

While I was looking at the frost built up on my lawn this morning, I was inspired to create this look... pink has always been girly... but it seems to be a Spring/Summer look... so what can be done to make it look seasonal and wintery? glitter. Glitter adds a perfect touch the pink giving it a cold and shimmery look matching the snow and frost of winter.

products and materials needed:

• dark pink nail polish
• glitter based nail polish
• top coat
• base coat

Keep it mind it is super important to wear base coat before you apply any nail polish, this protects your nails from the harmful chemicals in nail polishes and staining. Use top coat to seal up the design and prevent chipping (it takes time for your nail polish to dry... why waste that effort?).

For this design you do not need to use exactly what I used (I only found these nail polish colours lying around) you can feel free to play with different colours. I think green, blue and purple are good for this look.

*also make sure that the "nail polish" colour is darker than the "glitter nail polish" to give it that frosted look

Nail Fantasy #29

I found this nail polish in Bonjour (in Hong Kong) and absolutely love this colour... I do not know where I can find this brand other than Bonjour. I like the vivid, bold and solidness of this pink....

 I usually wear this colour on my nails during Spring and Summer because it matches the lovely colours of Spring and Summer and it blends and accents most looks (formal to casual looks) I try.

Missha's Crystal Nail Polish - SHOCKING POP NO.2/PINK

You can read my review on this nail polish here. I was always quite frustrated in using this nail polish because of the transparency of the nail polish (it can almost be considered clear)... but luckily, I found a solution... use it as a "top" the transparency makes it a perfect frost coating.

The glitter and transparency gives off a perfect accent to the nail.

Don't forget to add top coat to seal everything together! For those Sailor Moon fans out there... I felt a little bit like Sailor Moon (when she transforms) when I removed my gloves :P that is how glittery they look!

Hope you like this simple nail tutorial! See you all very soon!
