This was much easier than I thought; I did it free-hand. It's not perfect, but,really, what ever is?? (oh, deep thoughts) I sorta like it without the matte - maybe I'll add that before the game....maybe not. I probably will add a coat of Seche tomorrow for a bit more shine and durability. So here goes:
I absolutely LOVE the Orly foils, I have this and Rage (copper)...They apply very well, coverage is nice. If you don't have these, yet, get them....they are fab! (as soon as Lent is over, I'll have to get the silver....LOL)
2. Orly Luxe close to cuticles, about half way to the tips.
3. 2 coats NYX Titanic mid to tip.
4. 2 coats Cheeky Monkey I Like it on Top.

The NYX, however, even this late (I did this mani at noon - now it's 7:30 pm) is still kind of "denty" and shows EVERY bump/cotton ball thread/ridge/etc. on my nail...not to say I wouldn't use it again, just wanted to warn anyone who might use it. The blue is very deep and pretty.
So here's to trying what I am going to call my "Moonie Mani"...and I like it so much, I'll probably do it in a ton of color combinations....
Be Polished!

Great job! You did well caving in, because this is awesome!! =D
ReplyDeleteThat ooks fabulous! Keep it shiny!
ReplyDeleteit looks great on you!
ReplyDeleteI love this color combo! Do all NYX polishes dry crappy like that?
ReplyDeleteOh that is pretty! The combo is not so in your face & the colors compliment each other well. Kudos for the freehand!! I would mess it up even using the french manicure stencils....LOL
ReplyDeleteThanks for adding me to your Blogroll!! :)
OMGsh - thank you everyone for your kind words!!!!
ReplyDelete@Lisa Kate, I'm not sure....I have several, so I'll spend some time swatching them....
@Skulda, I think so, too!
@Kaide - you're very welcome!
This is so cute, I actually like this better than the NYFW pic I saw...great job!!
ReplyDeleteYou did an amazing job!!! And I LOVE the color combo!
ReplyDeleteOoo, love this!
ReplyDeleteYou totally rock this look!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, thanks for commenting on the mood polishes. If you email me your address I'd like to send you a set to say thanks!
Will have to try this method. =) Looks great!
ReplyDeleteLovely!
ReplyDeleteTried it myself as wel...but with darker blue and gold leaf foil.
super
ReplyDeleteI saw the black one and already reserve for my next mani, but your blue and gold match perfectly too~! :D
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! You're very good at free-hand!
ReplyDeleteThat looks gorgeous ! I fell in love with the idea of this mani when I first saw it, and I will probably also try it too. You did such a great job with this one, I love it :-)
ReplyDeleteI like this better than the gold/black combo...but then, I am one for color. :)
ReplyDeleteLove the color combo! Did you use guides or free-hand the blue on top of the gold?
ReplyDeleteWhat are you talking about? This is flawless, and beautiful! Like I always say, it's about expression, not perfection, lol. I'd never have thought of the dark blue and gold combo (I really have to learn to think outside the box), but this looks very regal and perfect together.
ReplyDelete@Jackie S. - Yes, I did free-hand the blue on top of the gold. I just followed the natural line of my cuticles.
