Tutorial: Needle Drag Nails

Another tutorial today, this was requested as I did needle drag nails earlier in the year for the 52 Week Pick n' Mix nail challenge. I didn't have a needle to hand so for the tutorial I ended up using a opened up paper clip.

Two nail polishes (I used ELF Punk Purple, Color Club Pucci-Licious)
Sewing Needle
Top Coat

1) Paint base polish and let it dry
2) Paint a opaque coat of each polish over half of the nail
3) While the polish is still wet, using the needle drag it over the nail from side to side (hopefully the clip above will show this better than my description!)
4) Top coat the nail to smooth the design and finish off

GOT Nail Challenge: Ruffle

Today is a ruffle manicure, I haven't actually tried doing a ruffle set of nails before. Not too bad for a first attempt but the lines aren't exactly straight. The polishes used are older again:

ELF - Fluorescent Pink - August 2010
ELF - Punk Purple - October 2010
ELF - Medium Red - February 2012

Nail Polish: Battle of the Pinks

For someone who isn't a fan of pink I sure seem to have a lot of them!

ELF - Gum Pink, ELF - Fluorescent Pink, ELF - Hot Pink,  Barry M - Buzz, ELF - Punk Purple, Kleancolor - Metallic Pink, ELF -  Mod Mauve, ELF - Fuschia, ELF - Purple Pleaser, Kleancolor - Metallic Fuschia, Max Factor - Plum, ELF - Rosy Raisin, Sally Hansen - Royal Romance

First round was easy, whittling down to three polishes. Hot pink is vibrant and out there, Mod Mauve is understated and bland but works as a good base polish.


And the winner is... Max Factor's Plum. While the other two are great base polishes, Plum you can wear alone. Gorgeous cream polish.
