My Easter nails

I wanted to post this mani before leaving for my Easter holidays but I had to depart before the time decided and I couldn't take a decent picture of my nails.

A week later, I can finally show you my little chicks, they are super easy to do!! (this is the only nail that survived, all the other chipped off after three/four days so I didn't take a picture of the full mani).

I applied a light blue base and some silver glitter. Then with a dotting tool I made a big yellow dot and two smaller ones on the sides. When dry, I added the black and orange dots to make the eyes, beck and the legs.

I made the chicks on my ring fingers only but if you like you can do all your nails.

Kpop Nails | DAL★SHABET's Pink Rocket Nails {Part 2}

This is the second part of DAL★SHABET's nails.

In the first post I showed you the manis the girls are actually wearing while in this part I will show you the nails inspired by their outfits.

The first outfit is the one that I call the "SILVER ALIEN".

The girls are wearing tight silver dresses with hot pink details and purple wigs.

I tried a few different nail design inspired by this outfit but in the end I opted for a simple one where the colors are the protagonists!

-Silver: basic 41-

-Hot Pink: KIKO 283 + KIKO 251-

-Purple: AVON Violet-

I love the colors of these outfits, very summer-ish.

Out of six girls I picked only five for my nails. I left out Ah Young (second from the right) because I don't like red and pink together.

I made a little step-by-step tutorial about this mani since every nail is different and it can get a little tricky.

Step 1: paint two of you nails with yellow polish and all the other ones with white polish.

-Yellow: KIKO 279 Giallo-

-White: basic 35-

Step 2: with orange, pink and black polish make some stripes on two of your white nails, one with bigger stripes and the other with thin ones.

-Orange: KIKO 280 Arancione-

-Pink: KIKO 290 Magenta Scuro-

-Black: Deborah Shine TECH 30-

Step 3: on the only left white nail make a turquoise french.

On one of your yellow nails paint the two external parts with orange polish. On the other one make a "ruffian manicure" with red polish.

-Turquoise: RIMMEL 60 Seconds 819 Green With Envy-

-Orange: KIKO 280 Arancione-

-Red: MAYBELLINE FOREVER STRONG 535 Runway Red-

Step 4: As final touch with red polish and a fine brush make some horizontal and vertical stripes under the turquoise french.

With black polish add a french on your yellow/orange nail and two vertical stripes to divide the color blocks.

-Red: MAYBELLINE FOREVER STRONG 535 Runway Red-

-Black: Deborah Shine TECH 30-

The third and final look is the one I like the best.

This look is easy to obtain but it takes a few steps so I made another small tutorial.

(In the pictures my pink polish came out too red, in real life it was more true to the dresses color)

Step 1: paint two of your nails with hot pink polish and the other with a deep blue shimmer polish.

-Pink: KIKO 283 Rosa Corallo Scuro-

-Blue: KIKO 299 Verde Ardesia Scuro Perlato-

Step 2: take the same blue polish you applied earlier and a purple glitter and mix them on your nails. Apply a few drops of each color on your nails and mix them with a dotting tool. If it gets to dry add some clear polish.

-Blue: KIKO 299 Verde Ardesia Scuro Perlato-

-Purple: KIKO 278 Constellation Purple-

Step 3: Sponge some white and silver polish on the corners of your nails.

-White: basic 35-

-Silver: basic 41-

Step 4: add glitter to your liking. I first applied a coat of fine multicolored glitter. Then added only in a few parts of the nail two polish with greenish and gold sequins.

-Fine glitter: Catherine Arley 128-

-Greenish sequines: KIKO 170-

-Gold sequins: KIKO 231 Multicolor Paillettes Sparkle Touch-

It's already pretty as it is so if you want you can stop here with your galactic nails!

Step 5: if you have enough manual abilities you can draw a cute pink rocket on your thumb.

I used light pink paint as a base and then with polish I made the contours and filled in the small parts.

I really like my small personal rocket!!

As a bonus here's a picture of my kitty who likes to sleep on my sketchbook while I do my nails. Luckily she is still small so I can catch a glimpse of my drawings while she sleeps peacefully.

Celeb Nails | DAL★SHABET's Pink Rocket {Part 1}

DAL★SHABET is a Korean girl group who debuted in January.

"Pink Rocket" is their second song. I'm still not sure if I like the song or not but the video surely gave me a lot of inspiration.

It wasn't easy to figure out all the girls' nails just looking at the video so in some occasions the manis might not be exactly the same as the original.

It took me a lot of time to do all the manis and edit the pictures but I had fun so I hope you'll like it!!

*Sorry if some pics are a bit blurry but I suck at taking pictures with my left hand!*

I had to split the post in two because there are a lot of pics. In this first part I will show you the manis the girls are actually wearing in the music video, in the second part there are manis inspired by their outfits.

Ah Young's nails are really simple, just blue and orange polish alternating.

I love blue and orange together so I really like her nails.

-Orange: KIKO 280 Arancione-

-Blue: Deborah 7 Days Long 829-

Ga Eun's nails are a bit different from all the other girls'. Instead of using pastel and bright colors she opted for a silver gradient french (at least that's what it seems to me!).

I used a sheer silver polish as a base, then I sponged a metallic silver on the tip and finished the look with some silver glitter. I love how it turned out, this is my favorite mani!

I realized that, even if I really like gradient french, I don't make them often so I will definitely make this again. Unfortunately my right hand nails broke right after finishing this manis so I'll have to wait a bit!!

-Sheer Silver: Deborah Shine TECH 22-

-Metallic Silver: basic 41-

-Silver Glitter: Catherine Arley 128-

It was hard to replicate Ji Yul's nails because I still have to find a decent baby pink polish, they're always too light or too dark.

I opted for an almost nude pink because I wanted to make the hearts pop out, but if you have a nice baby pink polish that would be better.

After applying the base I just free-handed the little hearts.

-Nude: Deborah Sense TECH 02-

-Lilac: essence colour & go 27 No More Drama-

Serri's nails are totally cute on her but look weird on me, probably because my hearts look like blobs of color.

After applying lilac and yellow polish draw some red hearts.

-Lilac: essence colour & go 27 No more Drama-

-Yellow: KIKO 279 Giallo-

-Red: MAYBELLINE FOREVER STRONG 535 Runway Red-

Su Bin's nails were the hardest to figure out so I had to make it up a bit.

The base colors are baby blue and baby pink (again, I don't have a baby pink, sorry).

Her nails are not plain but I still can't figure out if she has some dots on them or if there are sequines.

I decided to apply some multicolored sequines on the blue nails and I really like how it turned out!

-Nude: Deborah Sense TECH 02-

-Blue: KIKO 159-

Vikki's nails were easy to figure out and also a lot of fun to do because with a little effort you can achieve an eye-catching look.

After applying all the different colors on your nails use white and black polish to dot them.

It's easy, fun and quick!!
