Don't forget to enter my Blogiversary Giveaway and Nail Art Competition! There's three Born Pretty Store gift vouchers to be won. Entries close 5th August 2012.
The theme for Artsy Wednesday this week is Matte and Glossy!
This manicure was really simple. I got the idea from Cathy at More Nail Polish, she recently did matte base with foil tips manicure. I started with a base of Ulta3 - Waterlily and then added a coat of Essie - Matte About You. I then used top coat on the tips only to create the glossy tips.
I have tried to do a matte stamping design in the past but it never worked. The designs wouldn't transfer properly. I've seen matte stamps so I know it can be done. Do you have any tips?
