Deadly Sins Challenge - Day 2: Lust (English Rose & Studs)

Yay, we're already at Day 2 of the Deadly Sins Challenge! This week the sin we're supposed to display is Lust and this time the theme says: Let your body talk and feel free to do whatever you want.

Well, I was really at a loss at first, because for lust all that came to my mind was lips & hearts. But then I decided not to take it too literal and started to paint my nails with two coats of Essie - Smokin' Hot (okay, perfect choice anyway...). Then I added triangles with striping tape and Essie - Blanc. On top of Blanc I painted the glue for the transfer foil and added a foil called English Rose (sold out at the moment). I then used one coat of Star Nails - Nail Art Finishing Sealer and added the studs while the top coat was still wet. On top of it all is an additional coat of Essie - Good To Go.

NOTD: Valentine's Day 2 - English Rose

I already blogged about this foil a few months back but I think it is perfect for a Valentine's Day design. Besides I improved my technique and equipment since I last used these foils.

I added two coats of China Glaze - Snow as a basecoat. I use the nail foil adhesive from Naildelights and it works great. You apply it and let it dry for about 5 minutes. Then you press the pre-cut foil gently onto the sticky nail until the design starts to peel off the clear foil.

Then I added one coat of Star Nail - Nail Art Finishing Sealer and one coat of BTGN Top Sealer.
