New Year's Eve elegant design/ Design elegant de Revelion

Hello! Firstly, hope you had the best Christmas ever and Santa brought you lots of presents ^^
Secondly, what kind of a nail art blogger am I?! I didn't post any nice Christmas manicures! I'm sorry for that, I simply wasn't inspired :(
For New Years Eve I will be rocking an elegant half moon glittery manicure. Although I will be spending it at home with my sweetheart there is always nice to enter the New Year with your nails looking fabulous xD
I have changed the shape of my nails. After my stilettos broke a month ago, I realized the best shapes in order to reach great lengths of your natural nails are not the "extreme" ones unfortunately (especially if you're not very accustomed to having long nails) :( Too bad for I love the stiletto shape very much.

Buna! In primul rand sper ca ai petrecut cel mai frumos Craciun si ca mosul ti-a adus o gramada de cadouri ^^
In al doilea rand ce fel de "persoana-care-are-un-blog-de-arta-pe-unghii" sunt?! N-am scris nici o postare cu manichiuri dragute de Craciun! Imi pare rau, pur si simplu nu am fost inspirata :(
Pentru Revelion o sa port o manichiura eleganta semiluna si cu glitter. Desi o sa il petrec acasa cu iubitul meu este dragut sa intri in Noul An cu unghiile aratand fabulos xD
Mi-am schimbat forma marginii. Dupa ce mi s-au rupt unghiile stiletto acum o luna, am realizat ca cele mai bune forme ca sa poti atinge lungimi mari ale unghiilor naturale nu sunt cele "extreme" din pacate (mai ales daca nu esti foarte obisnuita cu unghiile lungi) :( Pacat pentru ca imi place forma stiletto foarte mult.

                                                                Products and tools

You will need a milky peach sheer polish (the ones designed for french manicure), a black colour (I used acrylic paint, nail polish works just as good) - not pictured, a silver polish, a silver glitter polish, hexagonal silver glitter (bought separately or from a glitter polish), silver studs and silver rhinestones. If using acrylic paint like I did, you will need two brushes too (a striper to outline the lunula and a flat wider brush to fill in with colour). I also used a piece of sponge and a small flat synthetic brush for the silver gradients and a dotting tool to place the rhinestones, studs and hexagonal glitters.


                                                                Produse si instrumente

O sa ai nevoie de o oja laptoasa, transparenta de culoarea piersicii (din cele facute pentru manichiura french), o culoare neagra (eu am folosit culoare acrilica, oja merge la fel de bine) - nu apare in poze, o oja argintie, o oja cu glitter argintiu, glittere hexagonale argintii (cumparate separat sau dintr-o oja cu glitter), tinte si pietricele stralucitoare argintii. Daca folosesti culoare acrilica la fel ca mine, o sa ai nevoie si de doua pensule (una pentru linii ca sa conturezi lunula si una plata si mai lata ca sa intinzi culoarea). Am folosit de asemenea o bucatica de burete si o pensula sintetica, mica, plata pentru degradeurile de argintiu si un instrument pentru puncte ca sa plasez tintele, glitterele hexagonale si pietricelele stralucitoare.

 

                                                             How to do Cum se face

1. a) After basecoat apply the milky peach polish in one coat. This will whiten your nails making them look perfect.
    b) Dupa baza aplica oja laptoasa de culoarea piersicii intr-un strat. Aceasta iti va albi unghiile facandu-le sa arate perfect.

2. a) If using black polish - do a half moon manicure. If using acrylic paint - outline the lunula (mine is only visible on the thumb nails so I draw it on the others) with the striper brush and then using the wider brush paint up to the free edge.
   b) Daca folosesti oja neagra - fa o manichiura semiluna. Daca folosesti culoare acrilica - contureaza lunula (la mine este vizibila doar pe unghiile mari asa ca pe celelalte am desenat-o) cu pensula pentru linii si dupa aceea folosind pensula mai lata picteaza pana la marginea libera.

 3. a) Using a piece of sponge do a silver gradient on half of your nail. Cover the free edge completely.
     b) Folosind o bucatica de burete aplica oja argintie in degradeu pe jumatate din unghie. Acopera marginea libera complet.

4. a) With the small synthetic brush pick up some silver glitter polish and apply it on the tip of the nail. Drag toward the cuticle to create a perfect gradient.
    b) Cu pensula mica sintetica ia putina oja cu glitter argintiu si aplic-o pe varful unghiei. Trage spre cuticula ca sa creezi un degradeu perfect.

5. a) Put a bit of topcoat on the silver part of the nail. Apply the rhinestones, studs and hexagonal glitters randomly. Use different sizes of rhinestones and glitters.
    b) Pune putin topcoat pe partea argintie a unghiei. Aplica pietricelele, tintele si glitterele hexagonale la intamplare. Foloseste diferite marimi de pietricele si glittere.

6. a) Apply topcoat on the whole nail.
    b) Aplica topcoat pe toata unghia.

Hope you liked this manicure. I know it comes a little late. Anyway, you can wear it for other special occasions too. It is very elegant and it will draw attention in a nice way. Pair it with a solid colour clutch (not glittery) so that it isn't eclipsed . I wish you all the best in 2013 =) Happy New Year!

Sper ca ti-a placut aceasta manichiura. Stiu ca vine putin cam tarziu. Oricum e purtabila si in alte ocazii speciale. Este foarte eleganta si va atrage atentia intr-un mod pozitiv. Poart-o cu un clutch intr-o singura culoare (nu cu glitter) astfel incat sa nu fie eclipsata. Iti urez toate cele bune in 2013 =) La multi ani!
