Rue's Nails of the Week

Here are the looks from the past week. I only had two this week because one of the looks I loved so much, that I kept it on for a while.

Look 1:

This look I absolutely LOVED!!! It features OPI Brake for Manicures with an triangle accent nail with Pure Ice Bite Me!

OPI Brake for Manicure is very deceiving color.  I bought it as a brown because in the bottle it looks like a brown. This was an impulse buy when I bought it. I found a deal for OPI bogo and this was one of the colors they had on sale. They didn't have it swatched in the store either. I bought it back in February and forgot all about it. When I put it on my nails, I noticed that it looked like a dusty eggplant, but in some light it looked brown. I did some research on it, and on an OPI site I found it called it a eggplant plum. I absolutely loved the color. It's not like any color that I have in my collection.

First, I used Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Clear Coat as a Base Coat. Then I used two coats of OPI Brake for Manicures. Clear tape was used to get the triangle accent.

I had this look on for most of the week. I painted my nails on Wednesday with this color, and I kept it on until Saturday. It really didn't chipped until work on Saturday, which wasn't a suprise. It did have a little wear at the ends of  the nail, but really wasn't chipped.

I got the idea of a Triangle accent from YouTube. Leighannsays has a tutorial on her channel. Here is a link for her video if you want to try it out.

 Look 2:

This look features Confetti Black Tie, and The Color Workshop stencils.

I used the Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure clear coat as a base coat, two coats of Confetti black tie. I put the stencil on my middle finger and ring finger. On the fingers with the stencils I put two coats of the Sally Hansen Max Growth Plus top coat and on the rest I just put one.

Personal Points

• Bath and Body Works 2 for 20 candle sale is no longer going on. 
• Thinking about starting to show the wear of my nail looks in this post and how long I had it on for, just to where you all will now how long wearing it is, especially if you do a lot of work with your hands. 

Coming Soon
