We all have those days. You're wearing a perfectly fine manicure that you aren't ready to remove...but you're bored. Maybe this doesn't happen to non lacquerheads? It happens to me often, and I have collected quite a few tricks to refresh my nails. One of my favorite ways to to just grab the shiniest thing I can reach, and paint a corner. Bonus points if that shiny thing is holo!

Colors Used
Vapid Lacquer Cryogenic Refrigerant
Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer Cold Inside Me
I had the epic, rich, metallic teal on...and I just couldn't part with it. So out came my little bottle of Cryogenic Refrigerant and I got to work. At first, I just painted the corners. It needed more, though. I broke out the dotting tool and added a few dots opposite. Simple, quick, and sparkly.
When in doubt, add more shiny.
I love stuff like this because it is open to all skill levels. You don't need special tools, just patience. If you aren't especially steady-handed, then a little bit of cello-tape will do the same job. It really is a very user friendly technique. A straight pin will take the place of a dotting tool...I'm telling you guys, easy peasy!
Do you have a go-to for quick manicures?
That BEGL is everything!
ReplyDeleteSometimes the simplest nail art is the best!
ReplyDeleteEasy and beautiful! Nice mani.
ReplyDeleteThat BEGL though! Holy Schnikes!
ReplyDeleteMy go to quick and easy nail art is dotticures. And Cryogenic Refrigerant looks super opaque - I'm trying to remember if I ordered that during the restock? I know I picked up a few you and shown before in a blog post - Blackened Amethyst I know for sure!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely cute and simple! It's very icy looking!
ReplyDeleteYou're magical. Seriously.
ReplyDeleteSo simple, but really pretty!
ReplyDeleteThis is fantastic. I don't have that Vapid but I do have that BEGL and it's one of my favorites. <3 Great job!
ReplyDeleteI love this! Something about it, probably the cooler tones, is very icy and wintery to me.
ReplyDeleteI just ordered my first and only BEGL. As for quick mani, my go is a smoosh mani.
ReplyDeleteThis is pretty perfect! I love both polishes.
ReplyDeleteVery cute!
ReplyDeleteLove this - the little dots are perfect :)
ReplyDeleteSimple but awesome - I'm loving that BEGL!
ReplyDeleteSimple nail art is always great!
ReplyDeleteThis is a really cute look! I recently took this BEGL out and forgot how gorgeous it is in person, I can't wait to use it! My favorite quick nail art is the dry brush technique, it takes like no time at all.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun idea of how to quickly change up a mani
ReplyDeleteTrue I also do mani transformation often. This one is cute ��
