NAILLINKUP: Red & white

Hi lovelies,

This week has gone by in a bit of a blur. I have done absolutely nothing because I am still struggling with my ears. It is the worst and most uncomfortable feeling ever and I am slowly losing my mind. How has your week been so far?

It’s NAILLinkup time and it’s the last one for the month of love! . You can check out all the prompts on the poster below. Remember, the dates are just a guideline. You can also find more info about NAILLINKUP and the February prompts here.

The prompt this week is Red & white. Even though it is still the month of love I did not want to get to lovey with this one. Instead I decided to use just red & white in different ways. Let me show you what I did.

On my pinky and ring finger I did a jelly sandwich. I layered Tip Top – Cream puff and Sinful Colors – Decadent and topcoated. This white jelly and red glitter sandwich was so much yummier than I expected. On my middle and index I did a sponged gradient using Sinful Colors – Snow me white and Essence – Styled for the red carpet. I really liked the effect of the ‘matte latex’ finish of the red so I decided to use my satin matte topcoat on the gradient. Once the gradient and the jelly sandwich was completely dry I stamped the same image on all my nails. On the jelly sandwich I stamped using Pueen73 and Mundo de Unas – Reddish. On the gradient I stamped using Pueen73 and MoYou stamping polish in white. I didn’t topcoat any of the stamping. I wanted the white stamping to stay matte like the gradient and then I liked the contrast of matte and shiny with the red stamping.
