My favorite manis from the past. I'm playing catch-up!

Okay so I wanted to share a few of my past nail designs. So here they are. Please feel free to ask about any one of them. There are a lot I know, but I have been a member of MUA for a while now, and took pictures for my NOTD on there, so now I am playing catch up for you guys. Starting from now, I will be posting my daily manis, designs & step by steps on how I do them.

    Hi, I'm new to your site - got linked through MUA. I really REALLY love your dedication to this site and how creative you are. There are so many things here I've never seen done before.

    Btw, how do you do the polka-dot designs. Did you use a template ? (I'm a beginner nail polish wearer...any help would be appreciated).

    Thanks :)

    Hey Jona!! Thanks for following. For my polka dot designs I use 1 of 2 things. Sometimes I use a nail art pen, that you can get from any drugstore, or I mainly use my Bundlemonster plates. They are image plates that can be ordered off of Amazon. It's a nail stamping system, that's amazing!! There are so many images you can try.

    Welcome Emer & thanks for checking out my blog! I'm sooo glad you like it! I'm not sure what mani you are referring to. Is it the lace Konad mani, that has the dark teal as the base? If so, the Konad design is Claire's 24 Karats. If that's not the one, I'm sorry, and if you could tell me more about the picture you mean, I will be more than happy to answer.
    Thanks again,
    Erika

    wow chloe thanks for the reply. I have already tried my first two scotch tape manis totally inspired by you. The mani i was referring to is the one you have in your header permanently. i searched frantically on MUA as well to see could i find a reference to it but can't . Thanks E~rica.

  8. Chloe0602November 15, 2010 at 8:16 AM

    Aww, well YAY, i'm glad you like and did some tape manis! The mani in my header, is actually just OPI Lincoln Park After Dark Matte, and the polka dots are just Sinfuls Black on Black.

    Hi!!! OMG!!! Your profle pic it's AMAZING!
    But I have a question: Where do I can get the matte top coat? =O

    ReplyDelete
  12. Chloe0602January 10, 2011 at 10:08 AM

    Aww, thank you so much!! If you're looking for just a regular matte top coat, you can get one from China Glaze or Essie. They are both great. OPI also has a few GREAT matte polishes, ie. Lincoln Park After Dark, which I use for tons of my manis, like the one that looks black, with a shiny black tip. That was actually done with that OPI, and just a black polish on the tips :P

  14. Chloe0602January 17, 2011 at 3:08 PM

    Lina, thank you sooo much! That mani was done with OPI Lincoln Park After Dark Matte. It's actually a very dark matte purple color, that when on the nail, looks black. That's whay I love it! For the tips, I just used Sinful's Black on Black polish :P

    Amanda, Thank you!!! The 3rd picture was done by a nail stamping process. I use both Konad and Bundle Monster image plates.

  20. Chloe0602January 24, 2011 at 9:30 PM

    Great idea, I just might do a stamping tutorial soon. For the white flowers you see in 2 of these manis, was done by stamping, but the 3d pink one, is an actual dried flower that I purchased off of transdesign.com :)

    Hi Erika,
    I just found your blog---LOVE IT!! You are inspiring me to take better care of my nails so I can try some designs I've seen here!
    I was wondering if you would be so kind as to list the brand and color of the polishes you used in the manis above (maybe below each pic?). I am particularly fond of the matte charcoal with the shiny black tip, the nude nail with the fluorescent yellow tip, the matte coral with accent nail, and and the silver with blue/purple stripes, although I love them all. Thanks for the great pics and instructions---you ROCK!

    This is amazing! So fun to look at but hard to imagine I could do it. :)
    So what about Shellac? Do you use it? What designs have/can you do with it?
    Also, how long do you leave the scotch tape on? Do you wait until the paint is dry to remove it or do you pull it up more quickly so that it doesn't stick to the base coat?

    Chloe, hi! I have recently started getting into nail polish and art.. I love it! I have actually done a few of your designs, thanks! but my question for you is are those your real nails and if so, how do you keep them strong to where they grow and don't break? I like how the nail art and polish look on longer nails, especially if they have designs. Thanks so much for your feedback. Oh and one last thing, how did you do the nails with the neon yellow tip? what color did you use for the main part of the nail where it looks like the normal nail color.. and did you tape off your nail to do the tip? sorry for all the questions. thanks!

    Hi Chloe! Wow you do amazing nails! I`m just wondering how long you give your nails to dry? Or if you have any fast drying idea`s? I did an awsome manicure yesterday, using all the things I`ve learned from you..and the type of polishes you seem to use...but it took three coats of essie to cover the nail, and it seemed to take hours and hours to dry, and by the time it did, it was all ruined and smuged :(

    Hi Chloe! Last weekend I did the matte with glossy tip on acrylic nails and It worked perfectly. However, the next day the matte became darker and darker and now it looks like my nails are just black. I was wondering what I did wrong or if that happens to you as well. I'm pretty sure I used the correct polish I just don't know why it got darker

    Hey Chloe! Looks like I'm the first commenter in 2013! From looking at the dates on the comments some are in 2010 so it sounds like it's pretty old but you keep it updated pretty well but today is still my first day looking at the site I want to say that it's wonderful! Do you still stay up to date with the site? I have some questions... I love the 10th picture with the neon yellow french manicure but I ABSOLUTLY ADORE THE BLACK BACKGROUND WITH THE SILVER/PURPLE LIPS AND ON THE MARRIGE(RING) FINGER IT SAYS LOVE! It looks great but it would be very helpful if you told me the colors and run a turtorial on that one because although I would die for it, it seems very confusing and complicated to do. THANKS!
