Simple Nail Art
Today I have a simple nail art look to share with you. It's going to be a quick post today since I just got back from my last camping trip of the summer. I love going away, but the adjustment back to everyday life can be brutal.
The look I have for you today is really easy to do. I'm confident that anyone can replicate this look. And the great thing about it is, that you can use any colors you want. It does require a dotting tool or anything you can find that makes small dots.
For this manicure, I did an accent nail of Lumina Lacquer Soleil with Pretty & Polished Carrigan. I chose these two colors because well the first reason is that I just love Soleil and want to use it in every manicure I can, but mostly because I knew that I needed a soft, feminine color to go along with all that sparkly. (And maybe because Carrigan was that days nail mail.) But I think they work really well together.
With my medium sized dotting tool, I added dots to the lower center of my nails tying the whole look together. A little bit of flash on every nail never hurt anyone, am I right. So what do you think of my simple nail art look? Would you add the dots to an existing manicure to change up your look from day to day?
Now if you'll excuse me I have to go unpack and get started on laundry. Or maybe I'll just relax and paint my nails. Thanks for stopping by and Happy Polishing!
Nice job on this! Dotting with glitters can be tricky but you've done a lovely job with it. Very pretty!
ReplyDeleteThank you. Soleil is so jam packed with glitter that it was easy to do the dots.
DeleteEvery time I see Soleil, I drool! haha.. very sweet looking mani! <3
ReplyDeleteThanks. I want to use it in almost every manicure! I'm practicing restraint so I don't have to buy a back up bottle.
Deletewhat a pretty and classic look!
ReplyDeleteThanks Hannah. I got lucky that the polishes in my nail mail worked out so well together.
DeleteI LOVE the gold shimmer with the pale pink! The little dot you added to each nail to tie it back to the accent. Super chic and fun!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jenna. I agree the tiny dots really pull the look together.
DeleteThe pink and gold go well together! I love simple nail art too.
ReplyDeleteThis is such an easy way to dress up a manicure. I actually do it all the time with day old manicures that are plain polish. They just never seem to make it to the blog.
DeleteLooks great! Simple, but stunning!
ReplyDeleteThanks. That's just the look I was going for.
DeleteI love manis like this--simple but eye-catching!
ReplyDeleteThank you =) It's one of my go to nail art looks when I'm stumped on what to do.
DeleteThese are awesome! I love the color combination and all the sparkles, great work (:
ReplyDeleteThank you. I've been leaning towards the extra sparkly polishes lately. I just can't seem to get enough!
DeleteYes I would do it like you did here, it really ties it together, as you say. Pretty!
ReplyDeleteThanks. I wore Soleil alone and even though I loved it, all that sparkle was a little too much for a manicure. I think an accent nail is just what it was made for.
DeleteGreat idea! Using glitters as if they were studs, I must give it a go myself too.
ReplyDeleteLove the way the glitters create a contrast with the pink polish! <3
Thanks =) I love the little hint of sparkle that the glitter dots give. It really ties the whole thing together.
DeleteLovely! And wow, that golden holo glitters, I'm speechless about it!
ReplyDeleteI usually revive my manis adding glitters gradients because the problem is always the tipwear!
I absolutely love Soleil. I wasn't even half way through reading a review on it and was making my purchase.
DeleteThat glitter! I'm not a gold loving person but I'd wear that one. :)
ReplyDeleteI bought it so fast when I first saw it I didn't have time to think. I'm so glad that I did. It's even prettier in person. Oh and ps I Love your blog!
DeleteSuch a gorgeous combo! Gah...I must get that Lumina Lacquer...I swoon every time I see it!
ReplyDeleteMy purchase of Soleil is by far my favorite nail polish purchase of the last 2 years. I just love it! I might have to get myself a back up bottle.
