In honor of today's holiday, I figured a nail DIY was in order. I first tried out
this one from Refinery 29 but could not get it to look even remotely decent and thought the contrast of red and white hearts would get noticed at work. I've noted a couple times my love for all of the metallics out in stores right now so I decided to channel that into a DIY foil mini-heart manicure.
|
Materials: pencil, small piece of foil, cuticle scissors, Essie's 'Marshmallow' and topcoat nail polish |
|
Draw small hearts by hand on the least shiny side of the foil |
|
Using cuticle scissors, cut out miniature hearts from foil and place 'dull' side down |
|
Use the pencil or some other small pointed object to position the heart on freshly painted white nails and finish by adding a layer of top coat |
Shameless plug: Did you vote for me in J. Brand's 'Style Showdown' contest yesterday? Did you know you can do it again (and again and again) today? Please remember to let me know if you voted so I know which Shanelé follower is in the running for the $300 gift card in the event that I do win. Thank you, thank you!
