This mani is dedicated to my sister because she loveees these sorts of designs. Heh, I don't even know what to name this mani... French Maid or Gothic Lolita? XD
I think Gothic Lolita seems more appropriate since French Maid is usually just black and white. Lol! I didn't really like this mani at first, but it totally grew on me the longer I wore it. n_n
I used three coats of OPI Kiss on the Chic for the base colour and also Wet n Wild Wild Shine in Black Creme for the Konad designs. I'm in love with this polish, it's so pigmented and works great with Konads! The most important of all is that it's super cheap and affordable! :D Oh, and the Konad designs are from plate m71. n_n
A lil step by step tutorial for you to recreate this design at home : )
1. Paint the base colour on. I used a sheer pink for this mani, but you can also try other colours such as white or purple. : )
2. After the polish completely dries, stamp the Konad design on near the tip of the nail.
3. Use a striping brush and black polish (or acrylic paint) to draw lines across the nails. Don't worry too much if the lines do not intersect at the same spot on all nails. They don't have to be perfect. : )
4. Lastly, paint a thin French tip on at the free edge of the nail to complete the design. : )

This design was really easy to do and definitely not as time consuming as the Lattice Mani since I didn't have to stick any beads on one at a time. ;)

ReplyDeleteI love it, super sweet!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is gorgeous and I vote French Maid for the name!
ReplyDeleteI'm really not into Konad, special manicures and such but you see, I really adore this one. Sweet and sexy. It actually reminds me of a boudoir. Or lingerie (especially the one of Chantal Thomass)!
