These glitter tips are cool. Maybe not for a wedding, but possibly for New Year''s Eve.
I do that sometimes... i''ve done silver and purple glitter. What do I is called ''pink and white'', where they use pink acrylic powder for the nail bed and white, silver or purple powder for the tips, no paint at all. That''s for people with acrylic though not natural.Date: 4/18/2008 3:59:29 PM

Does anyone mind sharing photos of their nails? I would love to see the actual look and what you used to get the look.
Sorry, if I hijacked the thread!

OPI''s Bubble bath is a little lighter than Essie''s Mademoiselle. You could do bubble bath and then use a white nail pencil underneath the tips. I do that a lot during the summer because I love the look but can''t do the white tips because they feel too bold and chip too soon on me.
Does she do that on acrylic too or just natural? What''s the name of the shop and can you take a photo of your nails? I''d love to see them!Date: 4/21/2008 11:28:55 AM

I don''t like the bright white either. My manicurist does what she calls a ''Monterey Manicure,'' (the spa is in Monterey) where she paints the nail a very subtle and natural looking pink color, the on the tips she puts a soft white that has a pearly sheen to it. It looks so much more natural, and when she was describing it to me for the first time she said it''s how she imagined that mermaid''s nails would look. LOL!
It looks fantastic.

Can you post a pic? I'm curious how the softer color looks on the tips. I always get the white polish at the tip of the nail (see pic)and Madmoiselle on the bed.Date: 4/22/2008 11:33:07 AM

Soo...I tried the 'Miranda Manicure' and I think it will work very well! My skill at applying the tip polish leaves a lot to be desired, but I think the color combo was a good one.
I also tried Waltz on the tips with Allure over it and that looked really nice, too.

That sounds interesting, MoonWater. Would you mind sharing the name of the nude polish?Date: 4/22/2008 10:01:32 PM

I always do American manicures instead of French. I hate the white-out look lol. I managed to find a nude nail polish that once painted on, resembles an American manicure because it makes my tips look more opaque while the rest of my nail looks nude.
