Hi everyone,
I've been on a massive matte design craze recently and this is the first of probably many matte designs that you'll see around here in the near future. I think this was my first attempt at doing a half moon mani, despite it being one of the most popular nail art designs in existence.
I think they turned out all right, although I definitely think I need to either work on my free-handed curves or invest in those little sticky hole things that most nail artists use (although using the sticky things seems far easier and less time-consuming, to be honest). I did love my choice of colours - I always think of pop art when I look at them, with the rich blue and the contrasting orange/pink.
For these, I used,
Endless Blue by Sinful Colours (blue)
Lust Lovin' by Mode (orange)
I topped the design off with Super Fast Drying Top Coat by Poshe and then again with Platinum by Face Of Australia (my favourite matte top coat).
I free-handed the half moons, because I didn't have any stencils or those little round sticker things, which is why they look a little dodgy. However, they looked fine in real life.
The weather has levelled out a little in Perth now, so we are getting lots of consistently hot, but not unbearable, days. And, the last of my family has left after coming for Christmas, so it's just us again and I'm really feeling the beachy, relaxed, chilled out vibes of summer now, so I think there'll be a lot more summery manis coming your way! :)
