Silver Leopard Nails

Thursday, July 22nd, 2010

I did another manicure! Once again I went for the leopard, but this time in silver! For some reason the design doesn’t show well enough in the pictures so apologies, if you’d like to recreate this please look at my other leopard manicure where the design is easier to follow.

Products used in this order:

  • Seche Clear
  • China Glaze Jitterbug
  • Gosh Pearl
  • Black nailpolish
  • Seche Vite

This is the base for this look, Jitterbug by China Glaze from the Vintage Vixen collection.

Second step is applying dots, I used a pale silver, Pearl by Gosh.

Roses are pink and yellow

As promised in my previous post I have a step by step tutorial on how I did my nails! It’s supposed to look like roses, I’m not 100% happy with how they turned out but they’re fun nonetheless.

1

I started with Seche Clear basecoat and Seche Porcelain (or any white nailpolish) as a base colour.

2

Apply Pink and Yellow dots randomly, I used Check me out and Being on the A-list by H&M.

3

Make leaves! I used a green nailpolish by Claire’s.

4

Finish off by tracing with black! I used black nail art polish and a nail art brush, any fine tip brush will do! Finished off with Seche Vite for ultra shine!

It took me at least an hour to finish this! :sweat: Very time consuming but oh so fun.

Seche – Secrets of the French Manicure

Monday, June 14th, 2010

As promised, the first of the AII Beauty product reviews is the French Manicure set by Seche. I know some of you may not know this brand but if you’re a nailpolish addict like me I’m sure it will ring a bell. Seche has a famous topcoat called the Seche Vite which is the best topcoat in the world! Many webshops in Belgium and the Netherlands stock this so keep your eyes open for it.

From left to right, Seche Vite top coat, Seche Porcelain, Seche Rose, Seche Clear base coat. The box also includes nail stickers to make the half moon for the French nail. I once did an entry on French Nails a long while ago and I mentioned there that I’m not a fan of nail stickers, they don’t work for me so I didn’t use them. I drew the whites freehand which isn’t that easy but they turned out great. It does take some practice.

It doesn’t show up in this picture but the Seche Vite is super high gloss, I’ve never come across such a shiny nailpolish even a friend said “your nails look so shiny!” I’m a huge fan of shiny nail lacquer so there’s no doubt I’ll be using the Seche Vite with every nail look I do from now on. I’m a convert!

You can find the top and base coat at Enchantra for €6,95 each.

She also very kindly added in a product for my boyfriend, a styptic pencil from Clubman, to stop bleeding after shaving.
