Beauty Swellness: The Nail Report: Shine bright like a diamond mani
January 20, 2014
Nail craving: Weeks and weeks ago, I had the notion that I wanted diamonds on my nails, and I mentioned it to Leeanne at Tips Nail Bar. “Soooo…you know what you want to have done, when we still have the others you told me you wanted?” she asked. Yes. I mean don’t we all have a line-up of manicures we want to have done?
How I satisfied that craving: Before my actual appointment, I saw NCLA wraps that featured the diamond I had in mind, and both their design and the S/S 2014 runway for Mara Hoffman also featured these graphic stripes splaying out like a spotlight, which I liked in combination with my gems.
Leeanne used Shellac Steel Gaze (a pewter-ish shade) and Black Pool. To create the diamond, she meticulously carved out the facets using a toothpick.
How this nail art makes me feel: Like a million bucks. Which is great cuz it was also my birthday manicure!
Love it or hate it: Love. Diamonds are a girl’s best friend.
