DIY Leaf Silver Nails

I have been way to busy to do anything fancy with my nails lately (totally boring). But since we were celebrating one of my best friends B’day on Saturday I thought I’d add some extra oomph to my hands!

I had some extra leaf silver after doing these shoes (which if you havent yet tried, you need to try!!). And loving metallic anything, I wanted to see if it would work for a mani. I totally didn’t know how this was going to turn out, but after some googeling I found that one of my daily readys has done gold toes, check it out here , so I knew that it would work.

I choose a color that would accentuate silver, mine is Ulta Moody Blues (How fricking awesome is blue and silver together??) but your fav color will do! 
I did a normal mani on my hands and waited for it all to dry.  Taped of what i wanted to keep blue, when I did the top coat I waited for it to dry just a bit, then added the leaf silver to my chosen areas. It was a bit tricky to get it right so maybe team up with a friend or sister! I absolutely loved the result and I am sure it would work so well for a French mani, Endless options! 
Top it off with another dose of top coat and you are ready to celebrate!!


Have fun with it and let me know how it goes!!

  7. Très réussi... mais en ce qui me concerne je renonce à toute manucure ... je manipule trop de produits qui mettraient en péril un beau résultat comme le vôtre.
    gros bisous
