Fabiana's ManiSteal from Elie Corzo

Hello everyone!

It is a slow Saturday afternoon and I am doing some blog/community house-keeping. Time to turn my eyes to the Nail Art Coven. :)

I am a little at at time working my way to more current manis. Today's post is the #manisteal I did of the sunny mani done by +Elie Corzo. She did a gorgeous orange based neon sponge base and used vinyls for a silver swirl. The effect was hypnotic to me! I didn't have vynils, but I think the stamping worked pretty well. :) I did a base of pale gray and the glow in the dark "Guiding Light" from Serum No. 5. Then sponged on the neons, finally stamped with Essie "No Place Like Chrome". I had an absolutely horrible time parting with it. It was soo beautiful!

Fabiana's ManiSwap with Keely's Nails

Hi, Everyone!

This weekend was great and I am sorry it is coming to an end. I have been busy with the #ManiSteals and will have a few more to share. :) But for today, I want to share with you my #ManiSwap with the wonderfully talented Keely from Keely's Nails.

Keely chose my ILNP multichrome gradient.

For my choice, Keely had done a beautiful design inspired by the Christmas song "Fairytale of New York". Being a huge fan of New York imagery, I just fell in love with it at first sight. She captured New York on her nails with the Fall colors and evocative silhouettes.

I did my best, but my nails are shorter than Keely's so the effect was not quite the same. Still, I love it! :)

It was all freehand, and the star is Essie "Shine of the Times". The color shift is what adds the Fall colors to the mani.

Polishes:

Essie "Shine of the Times"
Picture Polish "Darcy"
Essie "Aruba Blue"
Sally Hansen "Pixel Pretty"
Acrylic paint

Here is Keely's original mani:

Definitely check out Keely's post with her recreation of my multichrome gradient. :D

Here are the four manis.

For now, I leave you to enjoy what is left of Sunday.

Much affection, Fabiana.

Fabiana's ManiSteal from Elie Corzo

Good afternoon , everyone!

First... I thought I could put "Fabs" on the post title. Turns out I can't. I thought I could... but while others can call me "Fabs", Fabiana does not call herself "Fabs". Fabs feels silly that way. :P And I am referring to myself in the third person... #FACEPALM!

Before you ask... no, I don't like green eggs and ham either.

For this post, I want to share with you my recreation of one of Elie Corzo gorgeous manis. It was not easy choosing one of Elie's manis. They are so beautiful... and featuring a dazzling array of neons. Which brought me to a discovery. A massive, until now unnoticed, gap in my nail polish stash.... neons...

I knew I had three for sure. Color Club "Warhol" and "Glitter Envy", and Orly "Glowstick". That's it... This situation is going to be rectified in the next few days... completely unacceptable!

However, as of the past Sunday, doing one of Elie's rainbow neon manis was out of the question. That led me to look for one of her other manis. I REALLY did want to do one of the neons... perhaps later. :)

My choice came down to what I could do with what I have. I decided to do her stamping mani of gold over Sincerely Polish "Put a Spell on You". I do not have the divine Sincerely Polish... or her stamping plate so I improvised. I loved how it came out. :) Cirque "Magic Hour" gave it the exact right touch!

Polishes:

Cirque "Memento Mori"
a-england "Bridal Veil"
Cirque "Magic Hour"
China Glaze "Passion"

Stamping Plate:

With that, I wish you all a wonderful evening!

Sincerely and faithfully, Fabiana.
