Week 34 of the Year of Polish Challenge: Bling Mani

So Week 34...Nice to meet you and can I just say, "Wow, girl!"

Week 34 is the Bling manicure and I brought out my neglected rhinestones and studs.  I was thinking gold, and diamonds, and silver studs.

I don't think I will be able to wear these long because I have a tendency to pick at stuff like this as soon as one pops off from wear and tear but I will wear it proudly until that happens. 

Anyway, these are a decent attempt for something I am not hugely into:) 

Studded nails

I've been playing around with this design in my head and finally had an opportunity to put it to the test.

Polishes Used:

Julep's Amy

Kiss Nail Art Black

Wet N Wild Black Creme

Kleancolor Chunky Silver

Since I received Amy a few days ago I've been wanting to see it on my nails.  This design offered the perfect opportunity.  After applying a clear basecoat, I applied two coats of Amy to each nail.  I then used Kiss Nail Art Black polish and striping brush to make two lines crossing each nail.   I then filled in the space between the two lines on each nail with Black Creme.  I poured out Chunky silver and using a toothpick I placed the largest size glitter along the black polish band to simulate studs. Last, I used Julep's Fast Drying Topcoat to seal in the art.

This design was quick, easy, and fun.  Don't you love Julep's Amy?
