Nail Art! What I’ve Been Wearing Lately

nail-art-what-ive-been-wearingIf you’ve visited me in the studio lately you may recognize these designs as they are a few of my latest weekly manicures. On the weekends I usually catch up on swatching and reviews and then I decide on a nail art look to wear for the week while I work.  I usually choose something simplistic and I like to add some accents to show my clients the type of work I can do.

This is the design that I wore last week.  I started with a silver base using Gelish Tinsel My Fancy from the new Red Matters Collection (I’ll post the swatches very soon, I promise!!).  Then I stamped over the middle two nails using a Mundo de Unas purple stamping polish, and UberChic stamping plate Out of Africa-01.

    Lovely designs – my favourite is the purple and silver stamping. Do you just top coat and cure the stamping once it’s done? I am a gel novice! Thanks!

    Funnily enough, the third one is my favorite.
