Sheer Black Nails

Putting aside the spring inspired nail art for a more dark and elegant design.

I found this design in a Japanese nail magazine and immediately loved it. A couple of days later I found in stores the new L'OREAL Smoky Top Coat which is a sheer black polish perfect for this type of nail art, it was destiny!

I simplified the design a little bit because I like simple nail art.

 
I used black acylic paint for the sheer nails and topped them with L'OREAL Color Riche 913 Smoky, when the polish was perfectly dry I added some Born Pretty Store stickers. For the accent nail I used Skaha 150 Black and some silver rhinestones.

Pink & Sparkly

I didn't have an idea when I did this mani, I just wanted something pink and sparkly.

 I applied two coats of Mashed Berries, a sheer pink base with fine purple glitter.

Then I added It's Purplicious on the edges of the nails.

I added a small flower on my ring finger.
