31DC2013 - Half Moon (or Triangle Moon?)

Does that even make sense?  Triangle Moons?  lol maybe it when you see the actual mani.  It's something that's been seen a thousand times but I don't know if it has a name.

I always think half moon manis look best when they are minimal and classy so I didn't add too much, if anything, to it.  I just started with one coat of Zoya Micky which a bubblegum pink with a tad bit of a pearl finish and then I added two coats of Zoya Tomoka for some sparkle.  Of course I left the half moon open but in a graphic triangle shape.

I really love how simple and sparkly this mani is.  I was so excited to get to use Tomoko for the first time.  It looks so pretty over the pink.

I really want to step it up for the next few challenges and tomorrow's is Galaxy.  I know I'm gonna come up with something amazing for that.

Beautiful Ruffian Mani

I won't keep you all very long because I assume it's just as beautiful where you are as it is here in Houston, so I'll just make it quick.

I have attempted this mani a few times and just never had a steady enough hand for it, but this time it worked out so well.  I did a ruffian mani!

Oooohhhh!  Isn't it wonderful?  I had lots of compliments on it for sure.  I know a lot of women, mainly the younger ones, think that mauve is such an "old lady" color - for lack of a better term.  But I on the other hand think that mauve can be so beautiful...like my mani!  (:

WHAT I USED:
Zoya Trixie - silver
Julep Joy - mauve

Half Moon Mani

Only one more day! I don't even know why I'm excited about Valentine's Day.  I don't even celebrate it lol.  Anyway let's get on with it.  I have two thoughts about the following photos.

At first, when I finished I said, "Ooh babe look!  They're so pretty!".  Then took the photo and said, "Aww!  They look like Pokemon. ):".  lol.  So I think if I didn't put the heart rhinestones where I did, they would look different.  I thought I was being creative.


WHAT I USED:
Ulta High Roller for the half moons - 2 coats
OPI Animal-istic - 1 coat
white heart shaped rhinestones


Thanks for reading!
