China Glaze- Hook and Line
Orly- Shockwave
Orly- Angel Eyes
This design is called Ruffian nails and is actually pretty easy to do; it just takes a slightly ste ady hand. For this mani, I started with one coat of China Glaze Hook and Line, a grayish silver metallic. Then just using the brush that came with the polish, I painted two coats of Orly Shockwave, a gorgeous, almost royal blue crème. Then, because I can't leave well enough alone, I painted my ring finger and thumb with one coat of Orly Angel Eyes. Angel Eye's is a clear base with micro blue glitter and small hexagon holographic glitter (YUM).
I really didn't like this design when I started. I felt like it made my nails look shorter and my cuticles looked 1/4 inch long. But once I added the glitter (glitter makes everything better), I kind of liked them. I think I would like them more in a different color combination. Although I LOVE Shockwave and Angel Eyes together! I will have to try them again, Until later, have a fabulous day and remember we are half way to the weekend!! Be sure to check out all the amazing ladies in both challenges!! And, as always, Happy Polishing!!

I did a half moon mani with hook and line. It's a really nice polish. I have a hard time with ruffians too. I agree they do make your nails look shorter and cuticles wider.... I keep thinking it's the color selection. I have yet to come up with the right color combo for a ruffian, but hey it was a nice attempt!
ReplyDeleteIf you find it, let me know!!!
DeleteWow! Your nails are so nice and long one can't even tell if the Ruffian shortens them up or not! haha - great one! **
ReplyDeleteI cannot do a ruffian to save my life...I either don't get a nice curve or I have too much or too little of the ruffian polish showing lol Yours are great! Good job!
ReplyDeleteAngel Eyes is beautiful! I've never tried ruffian's. I think my nails are just too short.
ReplyDeleteI really like Orly Shockwave, it's been in my wishlist forever!
