Hey Darlings!

If you know me, or may have noticed on the theme of my blog, I loooove the color purple. So it is more than exciting to me to show you this bling manicure featuring a beautiful and sparkling lavender shade.

This wonderful color, which has some shimmer into it, is Pure Ice "Tales Untold", from their limited Fairytale Forest edition. It does looks like a fairytale!

On the index finger and underneath the middle finger, I used Bettina's "Clair".

For the bling placement, I used some wax around a dotting tool (the kind of wax that orthodontists gives you if you have braces) making it more easy to pick up my stones, since I don't own a waxed pencil. I learned that trick ver at instagram a while ago, but I can't remember who came up with it, so if you know, let me know so that I can give proper credit to that brilliant mind!! Ok, so once I had the stones on my dotting tool, I applied some clear polish on the nail to act as glue and started to place the rhinestones randomly. 

For the middle finger, I started with the base color and applied a top coat. Once that was dry, I placed striping tape (which can be found on ebay and its very cheap) and painted over that with the purple polish.

Here is a closer look:

The flowers you see in the pictures, were a gift from my hubby (Awwwww) and I loved them so so much, they had to be a part of this gorgeous mani!
