Gold Rings & Studs + I'm finally employed!

Hello readers!

Sorry for the disappearance, I've been a bit lazy (whoopsies) to make a post a couple days ago. I have a few different things on my nails and took some pictures to use for posts and I haven't put them up yet, so here's an older design I did probably a week or two ago.

I was in my room looking at a box of beads and found some gold rings that I figured I could use for some nail art! I 'm always on the lookout for things that can be used on my nails, so you never know where you can find inspiration to put on your nails! In the centre of the rings, I placed a gold stud inside and left some blank just 'cause :)

I've used OPI Ski Teal We Drop for the base and used Nailtek Topcoat to place the embellishments down. Nailtek is a quick dry topcoat that isn't as sticky as Seche Vite so it was easier to work with. I would've used Out The Door, but Nailtek was just sitting on my table haha. I finished off with a coat of Seche Vite to cover everything and hold it in place.

Here's how the look,

Sorry for the terrible cuticles! 



I did the same with my right hand, but placed the rings in a linear way, from the cuticle to the tip of the nail, but I didn't grab any pics of it :( Surely you can imagine how it might look!

Also, as of Saturday, I've gotten a job (yay) at a hair and nail salon in Campbelltown, so i'm really looking forward to learning things there. Also, they do piercings and waxing etc, so I can get any of those services done anytime, woop woop :)

I have a couple designs to show from the previous week (and this), plus a review to post, so expect those in the next few days! I also have that spike nail to show you all for those who haven't seen on my Facebook. Looks like that will be my next post :) Till then, take care!

  4. Your Ski Teal We Drop looks much nicer than mine. Mine's alot darker for some reason :/ I've only ever worn it once but I might try it again sometime...

    1. I think it depends on the lighting! When I first applied it during a gloomy day, I hated it and never used it again til recently and I must say, it's not as bad as I thought after seeing it in the sun etc :)
