MINIMALIST SUMMER ~

Here's a nail art that represents my summer lol. No trips for me during this summer but other great things obviously (new life changing step, music festival, concerts!!!) but no playa. So I did a playa on my nails. I don't really like this nail art lol. The design I was inspired by had a car on the ring fingernail but I failed to draw it, maybe that's because I don't my driver's license. It just wasn't meant to be lol. 

This nail art is inspired by Safinailstudio on Instagram.

FALL IN MARCH ~

This nail art is completely off season, it literally screams pumpkin spice latte lol.

For this mani, I applied a nude color then I used the dry brush technique with 2 shades of orange to create a background. On top of it, I did some black plants. I’m not totally satisfied with them, let’s just say they’re ok lol.

This design was inspired by KdnaturalsNails on Instagram.

MILK & COOKIES FOR EVERYBODY ! ~

I’m pretty proud of this design! There is this “kawaii” vibe to it, I like it. As usual, the most difficult part for me was the eyes. I swear, if you fail them the design can go from cute to creepy quickly. Not gonna lie, I had to redo them multiple times but it was worth it at the end because the final result is good!

PASTEL & HOLO ~

Today, I’m back with a quite special post. Months ago, I’ve been contacted by Born Pretty Store to collaborate with them and review some nail products. So I choose some items including this pretty holo polish. This is probably my fourth collaboration since I started this page 5 years ago. I’m always glad when brands want to collaborate with me. This is quite exciting to have the opportunity to test products. Obviously, my opinion will stay unbiased and I will be honest in my review. 

I decided to pick this bad boy called “Zeus Sword” because I have quite a few holos and none of them really impressed me except for the Linear Holo Taco but it’s a top coat not an opaque polish. I have to say that I’m quite satisfied of this one. Although I would say that the application requires more than 3 coats to be completely opaque but other than that I had no problem with it. I think that this product is versatile. You can use it as a regular polish or like a top coat combined with another polish. It will probably become my go-to for holo. If you want to try it or any product on Born Pretty Store site, you can use my code JNM10 for 10% off your purchase (wow I really do feel like an influencer now lol).

So about my nail art because this is what this page is about isn’t it? I did a marble design on my pointer, middle and pinky fingernails using purple, green and blue. I put dots of the 3 colors and mix them together to create the marble effect. Then I draw triangles near my cuticle. On my ring fingernail, I applied the holo polish and did triangle shapes using the same colors I used for the marble. I especially like the accent nail. I think that the secret for a good marble effect is to not mix the colors too much. It’s prettier when we can distinguish them.

Polishes I used :

Born Pretty : Zeus Sword

Nailmatic : Mona

Sephora : Lilac Fantasy

Modelite : F41

DUOCHROME & MULTICOLOR ~

I love the mix of white/black and the colored stripes.

MESSY MANI ~

I’m not gonna lie, I didn’t know where I was going with this one. It’s a mess like 2020 I guess lol.

AZTEC (AGAIN) ~

I told you in my last post that I was really into aztec designs at the moment so here’s another aztec nail art! I have to admit that I spent too much on this and it didn’t turn out that well. I don’t know, I just feel like the mani isn’t that clean if it makes sense lol. Just too much work for a final result not that good.

COLORFUL CHEVRONS ~

Here’s a quick and easy mani. I really like it! I did some chevrons on my middle fingernail. On my pointer and pinky fingernails I put the colors I used for the chevrons and mixed them together. I have to say that those 2 nails looked better irl lol. Finally, I put a silver glitter polish on my ring fingernail.
