Morning lacquerheads!
Today I have some totally outrageous nail art that I love, love, loved wearing. One day when I was going through my Bloglovin' feed I saw this post by Spektor's Nails and instantly knew I just had to completely recreate her manicure!
GAH! I love this completely over studded look so much! This started off with one of my very first polish purchases, Essie Mint Candy Apple. This blueish mint is heaven, and I have used over 3/4 of my bottle lol. Then I used Essie Good As Gold and some saran wrap to create the texture to go underneath my studs.
Once that was dry I grabbed some nail glue, I didn't want these going anywhere! I started with the strip of square studs down the center of my nail and placed them using my Born Pretty Store Wax Pen. Then one side at a time and using nail glue I added my smaller round studs using the same method. My studs aren't exactly the same colour gold, but this was not as noticeable in real life!
Judith originally did these nails for the Seven Deadly Sins Challenge for the Greed day, with the tagline being More is More, Don't Hold Yourself Back! It totally fit the theme and I absolutely loved wearing these for a weekend! Since I used nail glue the studs held up for about 4 days before I could pick them off. They were held so well in place that for the first 2 days I couldn't pick the off if I tried!
What are your thoughts on these overstudded nails?! Would you ever rock this?!
These look insane, I love them!!

DeleteI hear you! I bet these were so fun to wear :) Just awesome!
ReplyDeletethanks Craftynail!
Deletethey look ridiculously awesome!!!!!! I'd love to rock this look but i feel like it'd take soooo long to do a full manicure
ReplyDeleteThey actually didn't take as long as you might think! I got on a roll with it. You could always do an accent nail or two!
DeleteWow..that's a lot of studs! They would drive me crazy but I love the design! :)
ReplyDeletehaha! I kept rubbing my nails over each other feeling the texture :)
DeleteOmg these are so much fun, I love them!
ReplyDeletethey really are fun!
DeleteCrazy and awesome! :-)
ReplyDeletethank youu!
DeleteLove them!
ReplyDeletethanks!
DeleteLove this! I'm going to have to do my own copycat mani when the studs I ordered get here!
ReplyDeleteperfect!!
DeleteThis manicure is awesome! Essie MCA was also one of my firsts and I never thought of putting it with gold--a shame that will have to be rectified :-)
ReplyDeletelovely! It's a great combination!
