NOTD: Chanel Manicure #2

This is the second Chanel manicure I did using the same decal stickers I got from eBay :) I like this one much better!!!

• Again I did black with gold french tips.
• But on the other nails I used a dotting tool to create pearl necklaces in various colors.
• Finally, I added the decals plus some rhinestones to the mix!

I have to mention... one of my nails broke :( and I was pretty devastated from having to shorten them all, but I hope they grow out fast. They actually haven't been this short in a few months now and it feels so weird! I think the acetone I'm currently using is really helping to strengthen my nails. {and my OPI ridge filler too} My nails used to be extremely thin and weak... and now they aren't! Is that normal? lol

Which is your favorite Chanel Manicure? :)

NOTD: Chanel Manicure #1

Today I got some decals in the mail from eBay and needed to do this manicure right away! This is the first of 2 Chanel manicures I did... I re-did this one because I am totally Chanel obsessed I found more Chanel-inspired pictures floating around on pinterest!

My inspiration came from: SuPa Nails-here and Emerald Sparkled here.

• I alternated colors then used the opposite color to make french tips. The trick is to go slow when painting the tips.
• Applying these decal stickers took some practice, they have to be bent a bit so the edges don't poke straight out. I used my dotting tool as a guide and just pressed the decal onto it to create a more rounded shape.
• Also, I added about 3 coats of top coat to each decal just so the whole decal stayed put and this seemed to do the trick!

I used Chanel Black Satin- a black with finely milled glitter.

Stay tuned for the next Chanel inspired manicure!
