Two Moons Negative Space Nail Art

 Purchased by Me

Hi ladies. I'm finishing out my last days in Alaska doing lots of nail art! It's so dreary and cold here that all I want to do is stay inside. So, I guess that's good for my blog, I can stock up on some posts! We ride the Alaska Railroad on Saturday and fly out late Sunday night to visit the fiance's parents in Indiana, so I'm excited to get some family time in and of course visit with my cutie kitties Milk and Roomi. ♥ 

Today I did a two moon manicure that i've seen around recently. Chalkboard nails did a color blocking design similar to this, but I chose to do some negative space.

I freehanded each moon, the bottom is Julep Rebecca and the tip is Julep Winter. Unfortunately, I have a little bit of staining... but eh... it happens? :) This was my first negative space manicure and I don't know quite how I feel about it! I liked it a LOT more after the OPI Matte Top Coat. It was kind of fun and mod and different, but I think I'll try less "nail" next time I do negative space.

Here's a quick shot of the glossy version. Matte looked SO. Much. Better.

What are you're thoughts on negative space manicures? Let me know below :D

Half Moonicure and Giveaway Day 3!

Purchased by Me

Yay! It's day three and I have a beautiful purple polish from L'Oréal called "Paparazzi Pleaser" I created a simple and chic design to go with the purple. Just an easy half moon using some school supplies. Yes, school supplies! Check it out. :)

I used three thin coats of "Paparazzi Pleaser" and then I just used a paper reinforcement sticker at the base of my nail to create a guide for the half moon and added two coats of Zoya "Dove." This is my first half moon mani and I think I'm in love. What took me so long?! (Right, I never remembered to buy the guide stickers until tonight.) /Le sigh

Here is a quick swatch of the polish you could win today! Don't forget to enter giveaway day 1 and day 2 as well, good luck!
