Aggies Do It Better

Hey guys! Here's another award show mani for you! I do love themes! I love award shows more for the red carpet special than the show itself! Here's what I went with. The Grammys are much more edgy, with rock stars abound. I love how these came out!  shade   Here's what I started with. I actually used these as my "studs" nails for the #nailartjan Instagram challenge. Little double dipping never hurt anyone, right? ;) Start with 3 white nails and one black. I used my beloved OPI I Snow You Love Me glitter and placed them with a small dotting tool. OPI I Snow You Love Me After they are reeeeeaaaallllyyyy dry, tape off for your gold. I taped at a diagonal, one at a time. Tape, paint, peel, repeat. Then, because I'm too impatient to wait several more hours to tape again, I used a black striper to draw the next set of diagonal lines, and filled in with black polish. tape tutorial These would be great for NYE I think too, yes?  dire...

Here is my NYE mani for 2013! I hoped to do more than one design, but we had family visiting so I had to combine all my ideas into one! I am still loving chevron...is it still in style? I hope so! I used my beloved OPI I Snow You Love Me on my ring finger to represent the ball dropping. GAH I love that glitter so much!!!   These are all the polishes I used! Crazy, right? Crazy SPARKLEY! One of the most fun parts of planning a design is picking and choosing which to use! It is so cold and dry here....it's an uphill battle! My hands are so dry and I'm moisturizing like my life friggen depends on it. Come on Summer! Anyhoo, here's the matte version of my NYE mani. Sorry for the cutes.
