Lace and polka dots

 

 

Hola a tod@s!!! Al fin es viernes! :D Hoy les tengo un look bien romántico, si por ahí tienen una boda mañana, queda muy bien creo yo. Ya ven que últimamente me ha dado por usar más estos tonos claritos, así que quería probar Cookies and Cream de Ciaté, que venía en el Mini Mani Month, el calendario de adviento que sacaron el año pasado.

Es bastante parecido a Did You 'Ear About Van Gogh? de OPI, solo que C&C es un poquito más claro y la formula es más delgada. A mi parecer el OPI es mejor. Usé dos capas en estas fotos.

 

Hello everyone!!! Fridaaaayyy at laaaaast!!! :D I have a very romantic look for you today. You know how I love this soft colors! I wanted to wear an "almost nude" color so I grabbed my Ciaté Mini Mani Month Calendar and took out Cookies and Cream. This one reminds me a lot of one of my faves Did You 'Ear About Van Gogh? by OPI, they're almost identical only C&C is a tad lighter and OPI's is a whole lot better formula-wise and is also more opaque, this one is a bit thin. I used two coats.

Lo usé así solito unos tres días y después agregué nail art de encaje y lunares usando White On de Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear. Ya saben que eso de dibujar en mis uñas no me sale muy bien así que por favor usen su imaginación un poco!

 

I wore it alone for three days and then did some nail art of lace and polka dots using White On by Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear...you know I suck at drawing in my nails so please, bear with me. It's not the best lace but you get the idea!

 

 

Quería atenuar el blanco un poco así que apliqué encima una capa de Cotton Candy At Eiffel Tower de Catrice. Es de esos cremitas que se usan en el manicure francés.

I wanted to soften the white a bit, so I applied a coat of Cotton Candy At Eiffel Tower by Catrice. This is one of those sheer polishes that are used for french manicure.

 

*Suspiros*

A poco no se ve lindo?

Le envié una foto a mi amiga Karla y me sugirió agregarle moños y dije oh no más dibujos?! pero pues los hice, disculpen ya saben, no quedaron muy bien! Usé Salmon & Garfunkel by Catrice.

 

*Sigh*...Doesn't it look cute?! *sigh again*...

Then I sent the pic to my friend Karla and she suggested I added bows. I thought, oh no, more drawing? But I did it. Again, forgive the messy bows! (did 'em with Salmon & Garfunkel by Catrice)

 

 

Aquí les comparto como hice el encaje:

In case you're absolutely clueless on how to do a lace pattern (like me), I did this:

Gracias por leer! Lindo fin de semana!

Thanks for reading, have a nice weekend!

RETO DE 31 DÍAS Día 11: POLKA DOTS / LUNARES

You probably noticed how I rebelled and didn't do Sunday's challenge Gradient Nails...oopsie! I just really wanted to enjoy my patriotic mani last weekend I'm sorry!! But I will do it....soon....I hope! ;)

So today we are on the day 11 and that means we are beginning with the patterns! Though as you could see, we've all used some patterns for our past creations in the challenge... but it's fun to know that now we can use any colors we want which makes this a whole lot more fun because I get to use my untrieds!!!! Yay!!!

For example this color: Spanish Moss by Revlon. I had had it for a while and never used it before and I kept seeing that Zoya Evvie and couldn't help to think of this shade. I wanted to wear it so badly!-specially since Zoya is not available in Mexico :(-  I have been pleasantly surprised by the line Colorstay of Revlon. The application is good, the brush is great to work with and the formula is so pigmented I did ONE coat. Can you believe it? It's a great cheaper choice!

Look at it isn't it the perfect shade for transitioning to fall? I'm sooo loving it :)
*I realized in the pics this color looks grey! but it isn't, it is green...just so you know

On my accent nails I used two coats of Whimsical by L.A. Girl a great nude shade and used two dotting tools of different sizes with Spanish Moss.

 

A day later I went on with my original idea, but I guess I still like more the look above!

Así que hoy estamos en el día 11 lo cual quiere decir que empezamos con: patrones!!! Siiii!!! Me late mas esta idea porque ya podemos usar los colores que queramos y yo puedo usar al fin los que tengo y nunca he usado por ejemplo: Spanish Moss de Revlon. Es un verde militar cremoso muuuy de moda para el otoño que desde que lo vi me encantó. Además de que esta muy pigmentado y con una sola capa cubre muy bien.

Para el tema de hoy que es "Uñas con Lunares" hice primero solo la "accent nail" con base Whimsical de L.A. Girl, es un color carne. Y al día siguiente prosegui con mi idea original y tambien le hice puntitos a las demás uñas aunque creo que me gustaba mas antes!

Hacer los lunares es muy fácil, yo uso el palito de madera que es para bajar la cuticula. En el paquetito que compré vienen 4 y tienen diferente punta lo que me permite hacer puntos grandes y chicos con uno y otro.

Hasta la próxima!^^
