Mk's Birthday Nails

Hello! Just a quick post for today. It was my friend Mk's bday earlier this week so she came over to get her nails done. She settled on a ruffian or moon mani in these colors.

Todays post features two colors from the new Sephora by OPI Glee Collection in an alternating ruffian design.

NOTD Ruffian/Moon Manicure

Today I did a different version of the Ruffian/Moon Manicure. This version is way easier to do because all you have to do is follow the natural line of your nails lunula (the white moon shaped area at the bottom of your nails). I used a sheer sparkly color as my base so that I could still see the line and then colored over with my darker color.

I used Diamond Love (April) from Orly and Go My Own Way from Sephora by OPI's Rocker Chic collection. Go My Own Way is a rich teal with flecks of blue glitter.

NOTD Ruffian Manicure

This was my first attempt at a ruffian/moon manicure. The lines aren't really even but I think I still did pretty good and from a far you can't really tell. I used Sephora by OPI in Call Your Mother and Caffeine Fix. I did two base coats of Call Your Mother on my entire nail (let it dry completely) then two coats of Caffeine Fix on top of that forming a crescent moon shape at the base of my nail and then finished it off with Seche Vite top coat.

I really like the way this manicure looks although I think Call Your Mother blends in a bit too much with my skin tone to really appreciate the ruffian look. 

I think I'm going to try a black and gold ruffian next time!
