Bracelet inspired nails

So about 8 years ago when my husband was just my boyfriend he got me this beautiful wrap bracelet. I don't wear it that much anymore because it is strung on fishing line and I don't want my mini Hulk of a son to break it :)

I was cleaning out my jewelry box and thought hey these would be a super cute manicure for valentine's days  of just because. So here is how it turned out.

  

I just did the dots and rose the two main pieces of the bracelet.

For the rose I just used a little pink and the dark pink I painted my other nails with. if you want a tutorial on how I did the rose then please just let me know in the comments below.  I think that is all I want to say for now.... So if you like these and try them out yourself then I would love to see them . You can post a picture on my Facebook or tag me on Twitter or Instagram and use the #bewitchingnails so I can see them.

Ttfn,

Saran wrap stone nails

I like the look of stone nails and I have been wanting to try a saran wrap manicure so I just combined them and this is what came out.

Here are the items I used:

Base coat, teal/turquoise polish, black polish, a gold/sliver chrome or metallic polish, saran wrap and top coat.  

Using the black polish pant some on the plastic wrap stamp off the excess on some paper then stamp it rest on your dry nails. 

like this

Then re-crumple the plastic wrap and repeat with your second color.                                                                                                     

like this

Clean up and add top coat and you are done! Easy right?                                                                             

On a side note this was my inspiration for the type of look I wanted                                                                    

I really think they came out ok don't you ? :)

So if you want to try these babies out then I would love to see them. You can show me using my Facebook or on Twitter and Instagram tagging me and using the #bewitchingnails

Influenster Sally Hansen

I am a mom and pretty hard on my nails so when I got this box by Influenster which is a free service check out the website and sign up it is 100% free. So anyway as I was saying I am pretty hard on my nails and my manicures last anywhere from 3 to 4 days. I was really hoping that these polishes where the thing I needed for a long lasting manicure, since they say they are " chip resistant" and will "last for up to 10 days of wear".

Here are the pictures :)

one coat

two coats

Pat on the black is a beautiful purple/red color that only takes 2 coats

three coats of the red and teal

Red my lips and Jaded take 3 coats to be honest Jaded could use 4 but I just don't like using that many.

the brush

I love this brush it is wide and you can pretty much pain your whole nail in just one swipe. Now I didn't use a base coat or top coat because the product says you can do so.

So how long did they last without chipping? 

Day one still looks good not so shiny but no chipping. A+ (full day after applying the night before)

Day 2 well not so good tow big chips on my thumb and some small chipping on my index finger. C (they get a C because they are still shiny)

So over all I give them a B just because of the shine. 

Have any of you used the Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure polishes? If so what did you think? How long did they last for you? 

Let me in the comments below and I will talk to you all next time.

Melted sundae with sprinkles

I have been wanting to do an ice cream type manicure for awhile now so I figured I would do a french tip type one.

So here it is:

I really love how they turned out and I hope you do to so now lets get to how is did it and what was used.

Weapons of choice:

2 double ended dotting tools, a plastic lid of piece paper, white nail polish, random other colors for sprinkles and quick dry top coat.

   

Start by mapping out your drips and I added a splatter and the base but you don't have too.

Then connect the dots to the tip and fill in.I thought I got a picture of that step buuuut I guess I didn't ooppps sorry. But here is what it will look like after that step.

  Next using the smallest doting tool and the random sprinkle colors add your pretty sprinkles. You can place them were ever you want as many or as few as you want.

Clean up add top coat and you are done.

Like I said I really love how these turned out if you do try these out I would love to see them you can show me though my Facebook, Twitter and Instagram and don't forget to use the #bewitchingnails. Talk to you all real soon.

Ttfn,

xoxo Stephanie
