The Sunday Nail Battle - Braided Nails


Let's go for this new Sunday Nail Battle!!

The theme chosen by Odile et Andreia for this week's Sunday Nail Battle is "Braided Nails". We also have to use only three colors to achieve this mani.

I love the braided nails design. I've been watching Cutepolish videos on Youtube for a while now, and lately when I saw her Braided Nails video, I told myself that I had to try this technique!!

So I followed her step by step video, and I did my braided nails with these three colors :
  • Essie - Nothing Else Metals
  • American Apparel - Neon Violet
  • Color Club - Warhol
I'm happy and proud with the result of my first attempt at doing braided nails. It was pretty simple to achieve and I think that it's a quite simple way to have pretty nails.





Did you already try this technique? What do you think about it?

Duri Miracote - My new top coat


Hey there!

As you may have noticed this blog's address is now didolines-nails.blogspot.com!  It's more appropriated :)
Don't forget to update your bookmarks if necessary :)
I also created my Facebook page that you can find here : https://www.facebook.com/pages/Didolines-Nails/264602716987826

Here are my NOTD : I put 2 coats of American Apparel's Neon Violet and I stamped with Nothing Else Metals from Essie and the BM-315 stamping plate.





I love it! But today I'm here to talk to you about the top coat I used here which is the Miracote from Duri. And I've got to tell you that this one is way better than Sèche-Vite. You may not believe it but it is! Not only it dries faster, it also smells way better. I couldn't handle the strong smell of Sèche Vite anymore. And it's way more fluid, and less toxic as it's a 3-Free top coat! 



Good To Go was my all-time favorite top coat but I was a little bit disappointed because it's consistency changed. Plus this one is less expensive. I bought it for 4,25$ on eBay..!

Have you ever tried this top coat? What do you think about it? If you want a good alternative to Sèche Vite you should give it a try!!

Bye!
