49ers Striped Manicure

Hi there!

This wasn't my original idea, but I didn't want it to go to waste...

My San Francisco 49ers nails. NFL manicure.
China Glaze Drive In and Passion.

I painted 2 coats of Drive In, 1 stripe of Passion, and 1 stripe of a white striper polish to achieve what's pictured. I intended on doing some stripes with striper tape for this manicure, but the hand cream I forgot I applied earlier in the evening made it so Drive In didn't adhere fully to my nails. When I pulled the tape to readjust it, up came the red polish.

If I had this manicure to do over again, I'd choose colors with the same finishes. Foil, metallic, and cream polishes don't go so wonderfully together :-p

Are you planning on painting a Super Bowl manicure?

49ers French Manicure

Hi there!

These are the Niners nails I thought I would wear today...

Essie - Good As Gold and China Glaze - Ruby Pumps.

I painted 1 coat of Good As Gold and then painted a stripe of Ruby Pumps.

During the wee hours of this morning, insomnia took the best of me...

I don't think my addition of the nail art pen "49ers" made my manicure look terrible, but I'm not fond of the font. I also don't like that the pen got stuck in a ridge on my pinky nail and I slopped up my "s."

An important note... as soon as possible, use top coat over the nail art pen! I went to put some things away and then realized I no longer had numbers or letters written on my nails. Instead, there were black smudges all over my fingers.

49ers Fishtail Braid Manicure

Hi there!

I'm really enjoying this manicure...

Julep - Sienna, Glenn, and Johnny.

I painted 1 coat of Sienna to start... then I painted a stripe of Glenn, a stripe of Johnny, a stripe of Sienna, etc. until I was satisfied with the amount of stripes on my nails. I topped this manicure with a coat of Seche Vite.

Have you worn a fishtail braid manicure before? What colors did you use?

49ers Splatter Manicure

Hi there!

I'm back just in time for the Super Bowl. And guess what!? The San Francisco 49ers made it!

I painted 2 coats of OPI's Danke-Shiny Red before splattering with Essie's Good As Gold and Wet n Wild's Ebony Hates Chris. I topped it with a coat of Seche Vite.

Splatter manicures can definitely be interesting. Look at what the gold did...

It completely missed my nail! ... But I think it looks neat :-)

Here's what my right hand looked like (sorry for the cell phone picture)...

I painted this manicure back in October when we went to see the Niners play at Candlestick Park. It was so much fun. We had the best seats anyone could ever wish for, and the 49ers won!
