Purple chevrons

Hey everyone!
I hope you guys are having a great Wednesday! It's kind of rainy here but that's ok it's perfect sleeping weather :) 
So today I have some pretty purple and gold chevrons to show you guys. I used the wax paper method again and cut little strips in different widths using my craft scissors and put them on my nails using clear polish. This was a little time consuming but I really love how they came out!


Colors used:
- Sinful Colors Purple Diamond
- Sinful Colors Let's Talk
- Sally Hansen Golden-I










So what do you guys think? I think they kind of look like easter eggs I'm definitely going to keep this design in mind when Easter comes back around.
Thanks for reading :)

Wax paper manicure

Hello all!

Alright so a while back there was a trend going around called the plastic bag method for nail art where you paint nail polish on a plastic bag and when it's dry you can cut it and put it on your nails. Sorry thats a really awful explanation lol! But anyways I wanted to try it and unfortunately it didn't work out so well for me :( Then I heard that some people were using wax paper instead because it was easier to pull the nail polish off after it was dry. So I tried it that way and POOF! It worked! So without any further ado... I present my very first successful wax paper nails!


I was surprised at how much easier this was for me. I just painted on my nail polish and let it dry over night. The next day I peeled it off and cut it with my craft scissors. After a while I thought they needed some dots though :)




Colors used:
-Petites Baby Blue
-Sally Hansen Blue It
-Sally Hansen White On






I love how the blue looks like waves on my nails. What do you guys think?
