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.

  1. 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 :)

  2. 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.

  6. 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

  7. 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. 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.

  11. 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. 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

  13. Hi, got directed to this site from youtube, and i think you are totally awesome and very creative, definitely going to be coming back for more ideas :)
    Im just wondering what colours did you use on the last two pictures the like matte greyish/black with shiny black tip, looks so cool btw!

    ReplyDelete

  14. 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

    ReplyDelete

  15. Thanks for the great ideas,now i'm off to buy those colours :)

  17. Hii I loveeee your blog!! Your designs are soooo amazingg! I wish i could do nails like you! But I do have a question about the design in the 3rd picture. How do you make the black design? Thanksss!!

    ReplyDelete

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

    ReplyDelete

  19. Your welcome! You should do a turtorial on the nail stamping process. Also i was wondering how do you do the flowers? There really pretty!!

    ReplyDelete

  20. 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 :)

    ReplyDelete

  21. Chloe, everything is so pretty! You've given me so many ideas, even though i know i can't make them look as good as you! Thank you for showing them! :)

  33. 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!
    Jackie

  40. Hi!!
    I just came across your blog today and I'm amazed at your incredibly talented nail art! Can you please tell me how/what you used for the pink nails with the silver design? (3rd picture down, holding the China Glaze bottle)
    Do you mainly use the Monster Bundle stencils? How do you use them exactly? Thank you!!!

    ReplyDelete

  41. Hi, thank you!! That was done with Konad plates, but Bundle Monster does have an exact image like that. It's a nail stamping process, and I do have a tutorial, up in my 'Tutorials' tab under my header, that can explain it all :) It is under 'Konading'

    ReplyDelete

  42. Hi, I'm new to your blog and already completely addicted. I was just wondering how you did the black nails with the silver lips and love design. It looks amazing!

    ReplyDelete

  43. Hi Chloe. Ive been learning how to do my own acrylic nails at home because it cost effective for me. Can you tell the best nail drill to buy that is good quality but cost effective? I love your blog! me and my co-workers watch your blog everyday!

  52. BEST NAIL SITE EVER!!!
    You may not be a pro, but you're FAR better than many so called pros!!!

  53. hi!! i am new and i found you through a page i liked on FB.I was just wondering what is a good top coat to go with opi polishes.. sometimes i use opi polish and it chips off.. i also bought their base coat...

    ReplyDelete

  54. 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?

    ReplyDelete

  55. Just found this and I love it! Im addicted already! What brand of tape are you using? Mine keeps tearing when I try to pull it off? And how long should I leave it on before?

    ReplyDelete

  56. Heey Chloe,

    I was just wondering, how did you do the 6th one from the bottom, the colorful ones with the white polka dots...I love them and want to try them one day!

    ReplyDelete

  57. I am also, right this minute, doing the first pattern with navy blue as the first stripe, white as the second, and a sparkly pink as the third! I love all of your patterns and glad my mom told me about this website/blog:)

    ReplyDelete

  58. 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!

    ReplyDelete

  59. I love your blog, it really is a source of inspiration. I would like to know what is the gold polish that you used on that teal manicure on this page? Hope you have fun tomorrow.

    ReplyDelete

  60. How did you do the 3rd one down and the houndstooth one?

    ReplyDelete

  61. I absolutely love your blog!
    What color did you use for the 9th one down (the one with the neon yellow tips)?
