Happy Friday!!!! We have made it through the second week of January and before you know it, it will be summer!!! To get me through the year and on track, I have started a fun 52 Week Nail Challenge that has a fun new theme each week and we get to share with others working on the same challenge. Now I don’t know if I am going to pull off all 52 weeks but I am going to try my best. If you want something just to find a little inspiration or just to share a love with fellow lacqueristas then please join us.
For week 2 we are going with a half moon theme. Originally I was going to go with a traditional look but after having some dry issues due to the extreme low temps in my house, I had to change it up after a little warm up in weather this week. For my half moon mani I started off with three thin coats of Siren’s Mint Smash by Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer. Next I used the Art Deco Plate from Powder Perfect and Byrdie by Zoya. Everything is sealed with a coat of Marvel Liquid Macro Top Coat by SuperChic Lacquer.
What do you guys think of my take on a half moon manicure? I’m pretty pleased with the end results and loving the color combo….I think I am done with cold weather and ready for a warm up! Thank you so much for stopping by today and please, join us in the 52 Week Nail Challenge! <3
