Fairy Nails

I really love how this mani turned out! It's sweet and special without being too flashy. For this mani, I used one of my favourite nail colours out there; OPI Lucky Lucky Lavender. I know the name denotes a purple-y colour, but I find it can actually come off as the perfect pale, chalky pink. Perhaps this depends on your skin tone (I tend to be pinkish myself) but, either way, it is a beautiful colour and also looks great as a pedi. Actually, I searched for this specific type of pink for a long time before stumbling across this one. I never thought to try it because of it's name - do not judge a polish by it's name, folks!

After a base coat and two coats of Lucky, I dabbed on a silver glitter on the tips and created a gradient toward the cuticle; getting sparser as I went (soon, we will have a detailed How-To post on this). The silver glitter I used is a great one that I highly recommend, Tiara by Orly.

In fact, I actually tried another mani with this silver and, with 3 coats, the sparkliness could knock your socks off (post to follow)!

Then, I finished it off with our favourite top coat (post to follow!) and voila! Fairy nails!

Thanks for checking in, see you soon!
