Pink and bling manicure
I was dying to try out the gorgeous Milani Jewel Fx in Gold I won from Michy and to use some of the new nail art things I received so I decided to change my polish and incorporate them into my next mani. I didn't want a full mani using Gold because I knew it would be hell to remove so I went for something pink but still blingy!
I used 3 coats of Essie Pop Art Pink as a base on all fingers except accent finger. I only have the mini of Pop Art Pink which I hauled ages ago from the Art of Spring collection. It's a lovely pastel pink jelly that takes a few coats to reach opacity but it doesn't feel thick at all on the nail. I forgot to take a swatch picture of it doh!
I then used Milani Jewel Fx Gold on accent fingers. It was really hard to apply as the glitter is really chunky and is difficult to lay flat so I had to use a few coats to cover my whole nail. But the effect is SO worth it! Just look how blingy this awesome glitter is:
I then added some pink, purple, gold and silver rhinestones, gold beads and half pearls to my thumbs. Unfortunately the gold beads bleed =( I drew 2 curved stripes on my index fingers using Art Deco striper polish in gold and added pink, purple and silver rhinestones again. Topped it all off with a coat of Color Club Vivid Color Intensifying topcoat!
I love the Milani Jewel Fx glitters and I want the others now! Do you have any? What's the easiest way of applying them?
Thanks for looking! =D

ReplyDeleteLove Aysh xoxo
I love how you used it as an accent nail. Very cool.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous manicure, I'm in love with the random clutches of beads, rhinestones and pearls <3 Super pretty!

ReplyDeleteTake a look at how I paired it

ReplyDeleteLove that glitzy gold! I don't own any milanis boo =(
ReplyDeletei loooove Milani's Gold. soo gorgeous! and i loooooove the design on your thumb! omg! so pretty :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that Milani polish. Looks wonderful as an accent nail. Too bad in Canada it is unreachable, unless i want to pay outrageous shipping costs. =(
ReplyDeleteI lovelovelove the way you placed the beads and pearls on your thumbnail! And using the Milani as an accent nail was a great idea as I find it quite overwhelming when used as a full manicure.
ReplyDeleteawwww thats so cute and your nails' shapes look very nice too!
ReplyDeletewoahhhhhh i LOVE that jewel fx polish. thats bling to the max. i would totally cover all my nails in that... (and then regret it later when im trying to remove it) :P
ReplyDelete@Aysh: Thank you hun! I thought I would try the combo and see how it would turn out =)
ReplyDelete@Rachel Marie: If it were easier to remove I would have used it for a full mani!
@Jette Fromm: I'm so glad you like it! I didn't really have anything in mind so just placed them randomly hehe.
ReplyDelete@나니: Thank you hun!
@PaO*: Thanks!
ReplyDelete@Shadow: I couldn't stop staring at my nails either! Your mani looks great! What a coincidence that we both used it at the same time =)
@Tassa: Thank you Tassa!
ReplyDelete@Lois: I'm so happy you like it Lois! I think the Milani Jewel Fx just made the mani pop hehe.
@Thifa: Thanks for your kind comment Thifa =)
ReplyDelete@@Freshie: It's such an awesome polish! It's so blingy and cool. Ahhh you must try and hunt some down hun! They are soooo nice =p
@Katrina: It's my favourite glitter so far this year that I've tried! Awwww you're too sweet Katrina! I actually preferred my index finger design hehe. The bleeding beads wrecked it for me =(
ReplyDelete@Kenzie: That's such a shame Kenzie. I too would not be able to obtain it either here in Aus if not for the wonderful generosity of wonderful International ladies like Michy!
@Danielle: I think it would be a little overwhelming too as a full mani but it'd definitely be blingy! Maybe for NYE or something hehe. I'm glad you like it Danielle! ^_^
ReplyDelete@♥ c.angie ♥: Awww thanks Angie!
@Krissy: LOL that's why I had to force myself to only use it for my accent nail! Even though it was only on 1 finger it still took a good 10mins to get off haha. It was worth the trouble though!
I bought an Essie nailpolish, my first. It is in chinchilly and I really like it? Have you tried it before?
