Elegant french design in black, white and gold/ French elegant in alb, negru si auriu

I can't believe it's been a month since my last post :( Nothing happened, I was just too lazy to do my nails. Last week I got past the laziness and did an awesome design which I'm going to show you now.
Please excuse the cracked polish here and there, these photos were taken almost a week after doing my nails (I was out of town for a few days).

Nu pot sa cred ca a trecut o luna de la ultima mea postare :( Nu s-a intamplat nimic, am fost doar prea lenesa sa-mi fac unghiile. Saptamana trecuta am trecut peste lene si mi-am facut un design genial pe care o sa ti-l arat acum.
Te rog scuza oja crapata pe ici-colo, aceste poze au fost facute la aproape o saptamana dupa ce mi-am facut unghiile (am fost plecata din oras cateva zile).

I didn't expect these to be so easy to do, but they really were :P I was somewhat inspired by this design I saw in the second edition of the "Nails Aesthetics" magazine. The article was written by Natalia Oleinik, I suppose she is also the author of the designs shown there.

Nu ma asteptam sa fie asa usor de facut, dar chiar au fost :P Am fost inspirata intrucatva de acest design pe care l-am vazut in numarul doi al revistei "Nails Aesthetics". Articolul a fost scris de Natalia Oleinik, banuiesc ca tot ea este si autoarea design-urilor prezentate.

 For this kind of design, you need a brush with cone shaped bristles. I used the black brush you can see here, in the "Classic painting and detail brushes" section - Brushes and what can you do with them. Both the black french and the gold design were done with acrylic paint. Here and there I applied pieces of gold foil which comes in small jars and looks like this:

Pentru acest gen de design, iti trebuie o pensula cu perii in forma de con. Eu am folosit pensula neagra pe care o vezi aici, la sectiunea "Pensule pentru pictura clasica si detalii" - Pensule si ce poti face cu ele. Atat french-ul negru, cat si design-ul auriu au fost facute cu vopsea acrilica. In cateva locuri am aplicat bucatele de folie aurie care se gaseste in borcanele si arata asa:

This kind of foil is very easy to use - simply grab a piece using tweezers and tear it into lots of small pieces (it is very thin and crumbly). Apply the pieces on your nails using topcoat or put them into the bottle to make your own metallic flecks topcoat. You can find this foil in gold, silver or copper.

Acest tip de folie este foarte usor de folosit - pur si simplu ia o bucata cu penseta si rupe-o in multe bucatele (este foarte subtire si faramicioasa). Aplica bucatile pe unghii cu topcoat sau pune-le in sticluta ca sa-ti faci propriul topcoat cu fulgi metalici. Aceasta folie se gaseste pe auriu, argintiu sau culoarea cuprului.


I decided to make my nails even more pointy because this is the only shape that hides their flaws. Very few women have nails that grow straight so it's important to find the shape that suits your nails best. Here are my nails with only basecoat on - the free edge is past one centimetre long :O

Am decis sa-mi fac unghiile chiar mai ascutite pentru ca aceasta este singura forma care le ascunde defectele. Foarte putine femei au unghii care cresc drept asa ca e important sa gasesti forma care se potriveste cel mai bine pe unghiile tale. Aici sunt unghiile mele doar cu baza - marginea libera a trecut de un centimetru lungime :O

Hope you liked my nails!! I've got more interesting stuff to show you so stay tuned! See you!

Sper ca ti-au placut unghiile mele!! Am multe chestii interesante sa-ti arat asa ca stai pe aproape! Pe curand!
