Jewelry & Nail Art: The key to your heart

Hello ladies! I hope you all had а fantastic new year celebration!
I decided to start this year with my first post from the Jewelry & Nail Art series that I was talking about previously. I hope you will enjoy this post and the following posts from this series as well!

For this post I created a manicure to match the lovely skeleton key ring I received from Dvora Schleffer, a small boutique jewelry designer from Israel.
This beautiful and delicate ring inspired me to create a manicure with a silver touch to it, and a matching stamped design which I thought was simply perfect for this ring.





The Nail Art:
To create this manicure I used a few of my all time favorites: Starting with one coat of Essie - No Place Like Chrome, then I layered over it one coat of OPI - Miss You-Niverse, creating a gap of a few millimeters to show the silver underneath. OPI's polish was really perfect for this because it's a great one-coat nail polish.
I added some holo glitter from Essence - Julia over all the nails except for the ring finger, where I felt that I should use a delicate glitter to show the stamped design better, so I picked Out The Door - Northern Lights as the background. The heart shaped keyhole design was stamped with Essie's silver that I used for my base, and the image is from Nailz Craze NC06 stamping plate. I sealed the design with one coat of Poshe top coat.




Nail polish that was used for this nail art, L-R: OPI - Miss You-Niverse, Out The Door - Northern Lights, Essie - No Place Like Chrome, Essence - Julia.


The Ring:
Dvora's skeleton key ring is very delicate and beautiful, this ring is hand crafted from sterling silver.
I find the design of this ring to be unique, this is the first time I see a ring like this. I love this design and I think this is a beautiful symbol to represent love, which makes this a wonderful gift for every lady.
The ring was very comfortable to wear and there were times that I almost forgot I had it on me because I didn't even feel it one the finger, and I loved it!

  8. I normally think ruffian manicures can look quite bold and harsh, but this combination is so elegant and perfect! Great job :).

      הנייל ארט הזה די קל, תוכלי למצוא מדריכים רבים ביוטיוב ליצירתו אם תחפשי Ruffian nail art tutorial
