Another Monday, another mani! I bought a Forever 21 nail stud set forever ago and I haven’t been able to use it. After browsing Pinterest, I came up with this idea of just placing one stud near my nail bed and I thought this dark dusty blue would be a nice contrast against the gold.
The process was pretty easy to do – I used two coats of Essie Bobbing for Baubles and as soon as I painted my second coat, I used tweezers to place the stud on my nail. I repeated this for all my nails and then added two layers of my Seche Vite Top Coat to really seal it in. I was really worried that the studs would fall off by the 2nd day, but I’m happy to report it’s still in tact!

Aww, thanks! Nail art is definitely out of my comfort zone, which is why I always choose SUPER easy designs…if I can do it, you can too! xx

You are a woman who has more patience than I, and I respect that. Haha. I am so bad at painting nails, but I am learning! One day I will be able to do this 🙂

I suck at nail art too! Def takes patience and Seche Vite is a life saver…my nails are dry in less than 5 min. NO JOKE.
