B is for Braid Manicure!
Tonight I am showing you my mani for the Alphabet Challenge I am currently doing at the moment! Today's letter is "B" and I thought I would do a "Braid" Manicure which I haven't tried before but thought I would give it whirl! For this particular look I used A England Order of the Garter, China Glaze Millennium and China Glaze For Audrey. Not completely sure they meshed color palette wise but it was still pretty striking :)
Braid Manicure!
Wierd angle shot! LOL
This wasn't bad for my first go at the braid manicure, I think I need a bit steadier hand..but otherwise I was pretty happy with it. I didn't top coat it but maybe I should have to even out the braid lines abit. Order of the Garter is just so lovely, I haven't worn it in ages and I really love it each time I put it on as the shimmer is so awesome :)
On another note, happy Speak like a Pirate day! Arrrr me mateys, on with the polishin' and rum :)
Absolutely gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI've been meaning to give this a go. Did it take long? I quite like the colours together by the way :)
ReplyDeleteNope, it didn't take too long, just waited until each brush stroke dried a little bit. I followed this tutorial as a guideline http://www.lucysstash.com/2012/06/fishtail-nail-art-manicure-with.html
DeleteBeautiful! Good for you doing all your nails!!! I've only ever tried an accent nail and it was sooooo frustrating
ReplyDeleteThanks! It wasn't too bad following the tutorial but I need to find a steadier hand, LOL.
