Manicure Monday: Layered in Blues

Learn how to create a fun layered look fast and easy with this manicure tutorial.

First layer: this is a clear coat perfect for your nail base coat
This polish dries in 60 seconds.

Second: add one even layer of this nail polish.
You don't want it too thick, because it changes
the shade of this beautiful teal color.

Dries in 60 seconds as well.

Third step: add one even layer of this Glitter mix
from Milani.
 You want an even layer because there are big and small chunks of glitter.

Dries in about 90 seconds (which is fast for glitter,
but if you don't let it dry completely it'll peel this layer and the other layers off too.

Manicure Monday: Purple Licious

Lately my nails have been breaking and splitting a ton.
This is actually helping strengthen them.
Apply as your base coat polish.

I love metallic polish!  This is now a favorite of mine!
Apply in 2 coats.

I love glitter polish, but Milani is the best and fastest drying glitter polish.
Apply as much glitter as you want!  Let dry for a full 3 minutes.

Manicure Monday: Nail Polish Brand: Milani

I love nail polish! I love having beautiful, creative, fun nail designs on my toenails and finger nails.  I love when nail polish brands come out with more fun, creative, helpful ways to use their polishes.  One such company is Milani.  I have some of their glitter polishes, that are just so beautiful, because their glitter is bright, brilliant, and rich in colour.  I have one of their beautiful yellow polishes, and then I found some awesome new Milani polishes, they have skinny long detail brushes.

Milani Glitters

Milani 101: Lemongello

Milani: 709: Green Sketch, 708: Yellow Design

Now that I have found these new designing brushed Milani polishes, the next thing to do is to use them.  So enjoy the following technique, its a hand painting, learning to control long bristled brushes, as well as learning to control skinny brushes with nail polish on them.

Polishes used

First layer of colored polish: brown is a great accent to the 

lines, painting straight lines is hard, especially with long skinny brushes
once you master this technique you can expand your talents.
So I did straight lines on the smaller toenails, and a curved line on the big toenail.

Manicure Monday: Color Block with pens

Hi everyone,

Well I'm back from vacation now, it was a really nice break.  Much needed as we haven't had a vacation since 2008, and with all the stress from multiple moves, school changes for our children, and our plates constantly being balanced and changed and my husband's job changing multiple times as well, we needed to leave everything behind and just enjoy ourselves and our little family.  I will be taking this whole week to get back up on track of everything so once again please be patient.

On a side note, since today is Monday, I was able to sneak in a manicure while on vacation, so here it is! I will go a head and apologize for it being sloppy, but like I said I sneaked it into our vacation, so it was literally like apply, then take off before people notice the smell of polish and see me missing.

Manicure Monday: Accessory Match: Scarves

Its that time again, and we have a great new Manicure Monday Accessory Match.  Doing this post this week, has made me totally wanting the accessory from the image sent to us.  Yes, I'm in love with the beautiful teal lacy scarf!  Just to let you know we tried a few different option for fingernails, and toenails. Enjoy! ~Nails with Zing  

accessory

Dermelect: She-She, NYC: East Village

Opaque Teal polish as the base, then lace decals on top, 

Since my lace decals had a wide middle stripe, I painted it with translucent teal polish
 and added a tear drop on my ring finger to match 

Sally Hansen: Insta Dri 60 second top coat, Sally Hansen: gold, Dermelect: she-she

I tried a new look by removing all polish from my ring finger and painting it gold

I loved the look so much that I went with the same look on my toenails:
 gold and opaque teal

I added dotted vertical lines on each gold toenail

Then I added a mini lace decal on the teal toenail

Lastly I paint a gold stripe on the lace decals where the translucent teal polish was
when everything was dry, I used my 60 second dry top coat to seal everything together

Manicure Monday: Summer Stripes

Hi again, Nails with Zing here for our newest Manicure Monday!  Today we have put together a fun bright summer look with a little attitude.  I call this look Pink Sass. Enjoy!

Sinful Colors: 24/7, NYC Matte finish, Hot Designs Polish Pen: Black

2 layers of Sinful Colors "Neon" Pink

Add a fuzzy/ thick zigzag line from the Black polish pen,
 then once dry, add 1 layer of the matte finish

Once matte finish is dry, add more zigzag lines
but that are thin and leave shiny

Manicure Monday: Accessory Match: Dots and Belts

 

We had two very similar accessory pictures sent in this week.  White and Gray dotted belts for women.  So here is what we came up with for our nail accessory match.  We want to thank Nails with Zing once again for these fun, fast cute designs.

Dermelect Gray polish, LA Colors White polish, and a polish dotting tool

We started by painting 2 coats of the Demelect Gray Polish on every toenail except the 3rd toenail.  That toenail we painted with 2 coats of white polish.  Once those coats dried, we randomly dotted each gray toenail with white polish, and dotted our white toenail with gray polish.  Super easy, took like 5 minutes.
