EASY Half Moon design | NO TOOLS NEEDED // nailsbykassie

Hellooo! I'm back with another post. Two in one month, this has got to be a record for me. 

I definitely did not start out this mani to do a black and pale pink half moon. My original plan was to dry out little tiny flowers I found on some local trails where I live but the didn't turn out the way I needed them to so this is what I came up with instead. I have actually never attempted a half moon mani before but I really do like the look of them some of the time. 

In today's design I used: OPI Natural Nail Base Coat, Seche Vite, Wet n' Wild "Black Creme" and E.L.F. Nail polish "Wedding Bells".

My camera has a really hard time picking up the pink tones in Wedding Bells, it makes it look like it's leaning more on the brown side of an opaque nude polish. If you want this polish but don't have E.L.F. near you a nearly perfect match is SinfulColors "Easy Going", this does lean more to the brown side but is still very pretty pale pink nude.

Pretty In Pink

Yaay! This is my first actual nail blog entry :)

More often than not, ideas for nail designs come to me when I'm laying in bed before I fall asleep. Other times I see something on instagram that I absolutely love so I will recreate it and credit the original.

In todays design I used:
OPI's Base Coat and China Glaze Fast Forward Top Coat

SinfulColors in Easy Going

E.L.F. Nail Polish in Blush

"Really simple yet very pretty pink nude design :) I couldn't quite capture the
 colour of the base exactly. I absolutely love the rose gold polish. 
I also used @stickmenails chevron vinyls"

It's not evident in either picture but because of the formula of Easy Going bubbles had formed. I thought maybe it was just the way I had applied the coats but I re-did my index and middle finger and had the same result. The polish also seemed to be a little on the thicker side but still required 3 coats and still had a bit of an uneven finish to it. Other than that I love this colour since it's great as both a base and a colour on it's own.

This is a really simple and easy design to recreate. I really like how this turned out although it's a little different from anything I have done before. You can share with me any recreation using #inspiredbykassie on instagram :)
