Inspired By Pinterest: Fan Brush Nails

Hey guys!

Welcome to a new feature where I will be attemtping to recreate manicures that I've seen on Pinterest, Instagram, etc. This will be a weekly feature so if you would like to join in, please feel free to add your link to the InLinkz below!

Today's nails are actually from a pin that linked back to a profile on Makeup Alley. She has quite a few gorgeous manicures, but this pin was the one that caught my attention. I'm going to link to her profile, and you can view all of her pictures from there.

I loved the colors from the original mani so I didn't want to change them and tried to use colors that were as close to the original as possible. I needed something bright and fun for this dreary weather!

I used:
China Glaze Flirty Tankini for my index and pinky fingers
China Glaze White on White for the base coat on my middle and ring fingers
Then, using a fan brush, I brushed a thin swipe of China Glaze Orange You Hot?
Then, using the same technique, China Glaze Love's A Beach
Finally, China Glaze Sun-Kissed.




After a few minutes, I decided that this needed some China Glaze Fairy Dust, so I added a coat of that to the accent nails :-) 

And voila! It's not the same as the original, but that's okay. I quite liked it! Check out the other bloggers who have joined with me to do this little experiment!


Talk to you soon!
