nail art: bracelet inspiration

May 21, 2012

I love browsing BaubleBar for on-trend jewelry that’s fairly affordable, and this bright pink cuff was screaming “nail art!” at me. I listened and got to work.

I began by painting my nails with Nails Inc. Cambridge Terrace, which is the best metallic silver I’ve tried yet. It’s like pouring molten metal onto your nails. Amazing.

After letting the silver dry completely, I applied four diagonal pieces of Scotch Tape to section off a diamond in center of each nail. I filled in the exposed diamond with neon pink China Glaze Flip Flop Fantasy, and removed the tape while the polish was still wet. After allowing the pink polish to dry, I cleaned up around the edges and applied a glossy top coat.

Nail art inspiration is everywhere you look, so keep your eyes open and your polish collection nearby.

    Love it!! So beautiful & summery. Quick question: have you tried Zoya Trixie? How would you compare it to Nails Inc. Cambridge Terrace?

      Hey Alex! I haven’t tried Zoya Trixie yet, but I just looked at swatches and it looks really similar. They’re both seriously metallic which I love.

        I tried my friend’s bottle of Trixie, and I really like it. Now I just have to decide whether to go with that or Nails Inc. They do seem very similar, & I share your love for the molten metallic look. :)
