Yup I told yah more New Years nail art. I just couldn't help myself and had so much fun creating these various looks to ring in the new year. In all honesty this one and the next one I'll post were my two favorites! This one I created using my new Messy Mansion plates is not your typical new years nail art. There will be no counting down clocks or fireworks though I do own a plate like that from Julia instead I'm giving you my old school trademark glamour darlings. I mean there's something to be said for the cutesy nails, but really we all know a little sparkle and shimmer are necessary to ring in the new year. I also took this opportunity to take my new matte topcoat by NYC out for a spin but more on that later.
Mani-louge
Basecoat/Topcoat: TBA Basecoat / NYC Matte Me Crazy
Base color: Orly Liquid Vinyl and Dazzle
Stamping polish: Konad Special Polish in Black and Orly Dazzle
Stamping plate: Messy Mansion MM12
Accent: 2mm clear rhinestones
About NYC Matte Me Crazy, this is the first time I've every used a matte topcoat other than Essie. I have to say I'm not horribly impressed with the mattifying ability of this topcoat. It dries to a waxy finish (see above) and takes about 2-3 times longer to dry than Essie's Matte About You. The plus is this topcoat is a bargain at $2 a pop if you desire a waxier finish and a time on your hands.
So thoughts? I actually very happy with the way this little mani turned out. dripping chevrons on this plate make me so happy. In fact everything about this plate makes me happy! I have several more ideas in mind using the images on this plate. Great job once again Julia. So one last mani left in the New Years nail art cache. Thanks for reading and see you next post!
So pretty!!
