Messy buns are so beautiful, so effortless.
Braids, a bit more girly.
A smokin' hot manicure is the perfect accessory. These have been my favorite winter go-to colors this season. I love anything with sparkles!
Found this awesome DIY snake skin mani via the lovely Jennifer at Fab Fatale
To get the snakeskin manicure:
- Start with a clear base coat
followed by two coats of white polish. This layer doesn’t have to be perfect, as we’ll be sponging and stamping over it, used China Glaze Snow
.
- Paint a small amount of polish on a sponge, cut a corner out of a kitchen sponge. A medium brown works best so that it is a shade that contrasts against the light white and dark black, used Essie Case Study
.
- Sponge on a thin layer of the brown polish allowing some of the base color to show through.
- Using a stamping kit
, stamp on the snake pattern, used Bundle Monster image plate 215
and Konad black polish
. You want to get the design all the way to the edges of your nails, so don’t worry about getting the polish on your fingers. It’s easy to clean up.
- To avoid smearing the design, allow the pattern to dry for a few minutes before applying a clear quick dry top coat
.
- Using a short nail art brush and nail polish remover, clean the polish off your fingers and cuticles.
