Ruffian Manicure

Hey there! Hope you're all having a good week so far, I know this one's gonna be another stressful week for me but such is life! Only 2 more months of school left, I can't wait until summer. Although... I'll still be researching about university, working, studying for things, getting my license... The busyness goes on forever! Anyway, today I have another nail art design to show you, but it's definitely not as crazy as the others have been lately. I decided it was high time that I tried out the Ruffian manicure that we first started seeing last year sometime. So, originally I had planned for a teal and hot pink Ruffian but the colors were too dark and bled together, didn't look very good. I then decided to use colors from the same family so that it would at least be clear that there were two different colors. I used China Glaze's For Audrey and Nicole by OPI's Iceberg Lotus. Here are the pics!





Not sure how I like this color combo, but the application process is really easy. You just have to create a smooth curve and that's not too hard to do with a polish that has a wide brush like OPI's or Insta-Dry, etc.  

Thanks for reading!

  2. You did a good job and the colour combo is cute. Though if you want it to pop more maybe you should use contrasting colours next time :)

  3. Looks cute! I would use more constrasting colors as Sosa07ac already said. Now it looks a little like the top color has grown out. It is a great start though!

  4. Thanks ladies! I think I'll try this look again with different color combos. Plus I'm thinking metallic gold or metallic silver with another color would really pop!
