Last night at Victoire - so much fun!

Our second date with Victoire was THE BEST! We were so excited to be fully booked and could not wait to spend our evening chatting and finding out which manicures were chosen by old and new friends alike!

We also had a lot of requests of styles seen on our blog, which really made our day. Regine said it best when she pointed out that all the different nail art options really do speak to people differently. One of the best parts was definitely customizing the colours and styles for each manicure depending on what the ladies wanted - we love to hear your awesome ideas!

We put out the best glitters on display because glitter is obviously a priority!

Here we are doing some serious work (a.k.a. having too much fun).

Here are just some of the manicures we did last night - check 'em out!

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!
