NOTD: Elegant Nails in 30 Minutes

by xin on August 5, 2011

Have a dinner to go but you are dreading your bare nails with tight time line or tight budget?

nail1

Worry not, all you need now is 30 minutes to spare and also a base coat, your theme color, and a shimmer polish.

nail2

NEVER EVER skip the base coat.

A thin layer of base coat will dry up in just a minute.

I am using Dazzling from Stage, it is an elegant color and glossy polish hardly go wrong even if you are in a hurry.

Let the color dry for about 10 mins. You can cool it off in front of a fan to increase the speed of drying.

I find that some of the Stage polishes streak, but thank goodness for the gold, the streaks aren’t obvious.

When the color coat has dried to touch, use the shimmer polish and line your nails diagonally.

nail4

Repeat for 10 fingers, let dry and you are done!

I would advise not to coat with top coat as the flat brush might flatten the 3D effects of the diagonal lines. UNLESS if they are dried thoroughly (in the case of rushing, you will not have the luxury of time).

Just leave it to dry and you are good to go 😉

It is that easy to dress up your nails 😀

Enjoy the weekend ladies!
