NAIL ART TUTORIAL #3: Frilly Half Moons

THURSDAY, MAY 30

FRILLY HALF MOONS

Hello beauties, here's the third nail art tutorial of mine!! I'm always so happy to do these. And this time I'm bringing you the Frilly Half Moons tutorial. I came up with this one myself unlike my other tutorials which I've done by being inspired of the nails I had seen somewhere. I struggled with the name of this mani, actually. Originally I was supposed to title this  Scalloped Edge Half Moons, but I came up with a lot simpler one and I like it better. 

It's super cute and girly and all those things. I only did it on my middle and ring fingers, but when I think about it now, I should've done it on all of the nails! It would look a hundred times nicer I think. Anyways, here's a very quick and easy tutorial!

This is far too easy not to recreate, right? Gals be goin' cray cray about frilly socks, now go make a frilly mani!

Also! Have a look at girls who recreated my latest nail art of cupcakes and sweets!

NAIL ART TUTORIAL #2: Sickly Sweet Treats

M O N D A Y ,  M A Y  6

SICKLY SWEET

I'm so excited to be posting a new nail tutorial!! This is what I had on my nails last week and I loved it. It looks sickly sweet and delicious(?) well, beware, nail biters! Now let's have a look at this little tutorial ^_^

Some more instructions

♡ Choose candy colors for your base and add some stripes. 
♡ Create dripping chocolate on some of your nails by choosing a brown polish of course. Make dripping white cream just as well! 
♡ Add colorful sprinkles on those. 
♡ Choose one nail that has stripes on it, we'll make it into a cupcake! Start with a frosting. To have that scalloped edge, use the tip of a bobby pin dipped in a white color. Once you have the frosting, decorate the cupcake.

And you're done. Have fun with this, you don't even need to follow the tutorial strictly. Hope you get inspired  by this and recreate it on your nails!

...

I'm beyond happy to know that there were people who did the floral nails mani!! It's from the previous and my very first nail art tutorial which is here.

Screams spring, doesn't it? Thank you beauties for sharing, I love what you've done! There were a couple more girls, but I didn't save their photos at once when they were posted, I'm so sorry! 

If you do any of my nail tutorials, share a picture either on twitter or instagram. Tag me (@rosylayers) and also add a hashtag (#rosylayers)! That way your pictures won't get lost! 

You have no idea how much it warms my heart to see people doing what I've created, seeing them inspired. This is literally the best feedback there could ever be. LOVE YOU SO MUCH ♡

Nail Art Tutorial: Spring Florals ft. Pastels

W E D N E S D A Y ,  A P R I L  3

 I do keep my promises even if I take my sweet time. This has been requested delightfully a lot, so today's the day! My first mani tutorial ever, in which I simply show the way I do the florals on my nails. It's super easy, achieved in 3 steps only. My originality's being at it's best so I'm painting my middle and ring fingers, you go ahead and paint them all! For the rest of my nails, I'm just having pale pastels in pink and mint. Let's get started!

And you're done!

All of the nail polish I used for florals:

Light pink - Golden Rose 128

Brighter pink - Prestige "Baby Doll"

Mint - Essence "That's What I Mint"

To make pale pastels for the rest of my nails, I mixed a brighter pink and mint with white polish.

Hope you liked it and pretty please, do share the results if you try this! Tweet or instagram me (my username's rosylayers on both), I would love to see. More tutorials are definitely to come, you just keep your eyes open, my page refreshed and you nail polish ready!

BISOUS BISOUS,

P.S. leave any kind of questions in the comments, I'm doing a Q&A post soon!

Not Spring Enough

M O N D A Y ,  MA R C H  4

*Insert the "Excuse moi for not blogging, my adorable readers" part here*

I had so many ups and downs recently, at times I questioned whether life could get any worse and when it actually did I begged for good things to happen because this is not how life's supposed to work. Not for me at least! I hate it when I let bad and annoying little (and big) things pile up. But yeah, this kind of Spring has started and a new week too, and just like every Sunday I tell myself I won't let that awful Monday get to me. I will chin up go through the day with my head held high. And I guess for the first time my optimistic way of thinking has worked. Today I woke up this exact though it my head: 

Thank goodness I was scrolling down the Tumblr last night and this might have stuck in my head. This morning was absolutely perfect. Too good to be a Monday morning! Sun was streaming through the windows so nicely, not that blinding midday sun, but soft and rosy and aww it was so easy to get up from bed. 

I watched the first episode of Community season 2 as I ate my breakfast. And after that my 'thanks' went to just the right amount of ocd I have (not really haha), I had my outfit laid out and planned from the night before. My peter pan collar dress had been adorned with pearls, a little diy I did on the weekend! Because why not cutify things?!

My dad drove me to school, the ew public transport has been avoided, hooray! And the school.. well it was bearable.

MANI MONDAY

Guess who made it through a whole month of No Nail Polish Diet! That's right, this girl. Can you hear me singing out  joy, I can paint my nails again! So many new nailart  is to come.

But now I've painted my nails this bright  pink, only because I wanted to try Rimmel so bad. The color is called  Strawberry Fizz. And  I am very satisfied, not only the color turned out great but it also smells fruity when it dries, how awesome is that?!

Even though it doesn't really match my recent pastel outfits,  I like  this bright burst of pink on my nails. Oh I will be buying so much more of Rimmel in the future, of that I'm sure. The  quality is  remarkable and worth every penny. Okay actually it's not pricey or anything , I've no idea why haven't I tried that before! And with that I shall leave you!

My weekly Mani Monday: dripping pink. I guess this is my favorite design that's been on my nails so far. What do you think? It's also super easy to do yourself, google/youtube it for tutorials.

My Monday in general hasn't been as pink as it seems. It might seem, judging by my pink rags. In fact I survived the biggest Monday blues today. There are only very few people I enjoy being with at school and I meet none of them on Mondays. So the school was quite a hell that I managed to through today.

Well I am finally home and ready enjoy anything not school related. Hope you all had a better day than me cause mine actually sucked to be honest. 

So yeah, have a good week everyone (me including. I hope my week won't suck that much)

BISSOUS BISSOUS,
