Cherry Chocolate

What makes it special: The colour combination of red and brown topped with glitter looks like cherry chocolate candy or muffin topped with powdered sugar and coconut. Or at least this is what I want to believe.

How long it lasts: Seven to eight days. If I had put some effort to fix some minor damages it could be for longer.

To cook this look you need:
  • Three kitties
  • Base nail polish
  • Top nail polish
  • Red nail polish
  • Brwon nail polish
  • Glitter nail polish
  • Tape for nails
  • Scissors and tweezers (optional) 
  • Nail polish dryer (optional)
Steps:
  1. Apply the base coat and wait to dry.
  2. Apply the red nail polish on all nails and wait to dry.
  3. Apply second and third layer of red nail polish on the ring finger.
  4. Cut tape and put it on all nails except the ring fingers. In this design I decided to make rays in the opposite direction of the ring finger on each hand.
  5. Apply two or three layers of brown nail polish on the taped nails.
  6. Do not wait to dry! Remove the tape carefully, one by one with the help of the tweezers.
  7. Apply the glitter nail polish.
  8. Apply top coat.
  9. (optional) Use the nail polish dryer.

Orange October

What makes it special: The orange colour is great for the late October period when everything is exploding in orange pumpkins and Halloween decoration.

How long it lasts: Eight days. If I had put some effort to fix some minor damages it could be for longer.

To cook this look you need:

  • Three kitties
  • Orange nail polish
  • Glitter nail polish
  • Top coat 
  • (optional) nail polish dryer 
Side note: the nail polish dryer was needed because I used quite cheap nail polish and it took it years to dry. On the other hand, it lasted longer than most of the big brand names in my box of nail polishes.

Steps:
  1. Apply the base coat and wait to dry
  2. Apply the orange nail polish and wait to dry 
  3. Apply the glitter nail polish and wait to dry
  4. Apply top coat and wait to dry (or use the dyer)
