It’s a design I did last week, but due to a huge amount of work I’m posting it only now. The idea is pretty simple – half moons decorated with dark metal studs:
First I was thinking of a much darker design, perhaps of a punk/rock nail art in which the circle metal studs would look appropriate, but then the spring feelings won and I did a nail design in light pastel colors :)
The white base color is Essie Blanc, and for the net pattern I used Sally Hansen Black Out and Rimmel Grey Matter. The lilac half moons are done with an acrylic paint called “Silk Purple”.
I got the 2mm circle studs from KKCenterHK for review. If you are interested, you can find them here. Currently the studs are for $4.50 per a 100 pcs package. The KKCenterHK store is located in Hong Kong, but they ship worldwide :)
That’s it, I hope you liked the lilac half moons!
See you soon ;)
It’s absolutely beautiful and delicate!
Thank you Maria! It’s nice to hear you liked the manicure :)
OMG, it is a very eye-catching design and topped with the studs it looks very cool!
Thank you Andrea!
I love your half moon manicure and all the colours that you used here! You know what, I’m waiting for the same dark silver studs to arrive to me :-)
Good to know! I’ll be waiting for your version of the nail art with the silver studs! ;)
Great pattern and great framing with the studs! Really stunning!!
Thank you Ina! :)
Очень красивые фото и конечно же сам маникюр!)
Спасибо, Елена! Рада, что Вам понравилось :)
Very lovely I must try something like this, I have some similar studs
Show us if you do :) I’m glad you liked the design :)
Wow, I love this mani. You combined the pastel with the studs perfectly! The pastel shade and the light grey almost look like shadows underneath the black. Amazing work!!!
Thank you Silvia! When I was creating the nail design, I didn’t thought about the shadow effect that the grey can give, but now when you said it, I can see it! :)
