Asterisk

Hey!!

This week's manicure was made up all on my own. I thought of the colors first and then built a theme off of that. It reminds me of winter, snow and stars all in one. I named it asterisk because that's what the accents look like. For this manicure you will need a silver, white, blue, and glitter overlay polish, striping tape and a dotting tool.

I started out with a base coat of OPI nail envy. I then did two coats of Julep Margaret on my pinky, middle and thumbs. I painted my ring and pointer fingernails with two coats of Icing Heavy Metal. I painted over the Julep Margaret (blue polish)with one coat of Sei Bella Crystal Sands, which made it glittery. Once my ring finger was dry, I used four pieces of striping tape to make an asterisk design at the center of the nail. I then painted over the entire nail with OPI Alpine Snow and carefully removed the tape. Using a medium sized dotting tool and OPI Alpine Snow, I placed four dots in the center of my pointer fingernail so that it looks like a box. I then used a smaller dotting tool and the same color nail polish to make an asterisk design on the entire nail.  Once it was all dry, I finished my manicure with a fast drying top coat of INM Out the Door.

Finished!

It took me forever to decide whether or not to make another design on the pointer fingernail or just leave it plain silver. I was so much happier once I added the dotted asterisk on top. I think it balances out the look. I hope you enjoyed this look and I will see you next time!
