Happy Hump Day! We're over the middle of the week, so it's a clear stretch to the weekend now!
I just wanted to let you all know that I have another editorial up on the Lipstick Republic website, it's a tutorial on how to create the manicure below! This one is inspired by the cold, wet and dreary weather in Melbourne of late.
All you need are three different polish shades and a dotting tool (or bobby pin). I chose to use ORLY Mirror Mirror for my base, and Sally Hansen White On and ORLY Liquid Vinyl for the design.

I did make a short video on how to do this look, but it's not playing properly on the blog, so you'll have to check it out on my Instagram or head on over to the Lipstick Republic blog to read the full tutorial (plus tips)!
What do you think of it, lovelies? Is it simple/pretty enough that you'll give it a go? If you do, please tag me, I'd love to see it!
Much love,
MM.

Thank you so much, Dani! My nails actually aren't that long, only a couple of mm past my fingertips, but I am fortunate to have long nail beds! :)
DeleteOh my, this is gorgeous Nalini - I get the inspiration behind it, but there's nothing cold, wet and dreary about this fab creation hon! You always manage to make your manis look so elegant, and I checked out your easy peasy tutorial too - no wonder they keep asking you back darling ♥
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kat! I hope you liked the tutorial and might give it a go sometime, I think you would do a fab job if your eye work is any indication! ♥
DeleteOh wow! This is just amazing! I'm not sure I can do it as good as you but it will be fun to just try it!
ReplyDeleteI love the bobby pin tip! :)
Oh, please do! It'd be great to know that someone actually found the tutorial useful, so hit me up with a photo if you do!
DeleteThis is gorgeous! Well done xx
ReplyDeleteThanks, babe!
DeleteThis is beautiful. I only wish that my nails were long enough for me to try it :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kate! Perhaps you can try doing it over the entire nail as an accent nail? I think it would look stunning on you. :)
DeleteLooks so quick and easy! Very creative :) You have amazing nails! X
