Three Variations on French Tips

Greetings Jellybeans!

Just a quick post of 3 different fancy french tips I wore over the course of this week. The staining on my nails finally grew out and I can do these again. I really missed it.

Sorry about the chipping on the pink french. I didn't get photos until the next day and I'd done some weaving on my tapestry so they got a bit mangled.


I used Sally Hansen Insta Dri Whirlwind White for the tips and stamps. I used BM09 and BM03 for the images. I used Art Deco Baby Pink to delineate between the tips and the rest of my nail, and added a bit of pink to the stamps as well. Topcoat - Seche Vite.


For this black and White manicure I used a base of one coat of Sally Hansen Hard as Nails with Nylon Encore.


I put Sally Hansen Insta Dri Whirlwind White on the tips, and used Art Deco Black to delineate. I used the same black and white polishes with dotting tools in various sizes to create the flowers and dots. Topcoat - Seche Vite


I drew two little parallel black lines down the side of each nail closest to my pinky and lined up the dot bubbles with it.

In the shade you can see the glitter.


And this is a purple variation of the same manicure, using Nicole by OPI Count On Me (a pretty pink and blue shimmer) Wet n' Wild French White Creme, and Art Deco Magenta.



Except I didn't do the two parallel lines at the tip I just continued the bubble effect.



Thanks for stopping by!
Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

  8. Just checked out your blog, Great manis! I like the dark pink with bubbles-so cute! You mentioned staining? I had a co-worker once that used a mild bleach/water mixture and Q-tips. Worked for her, but I haven't tried it!
