I always loved having my nails painted, and I used to paint them often, but I must confess that since I started blogging, I started experimenting more and more with the colors, and the designs. It might be because I was “exposed” to more eyes every day and wanted to look prettier, or because Pinterest entered my life and my head was full of ideas. My nail polish collection is starting to get crazy (and I’ve added even more colors since I last showed it to you), and now I kind of feel that I “have” to use them all before they go bad, since I’ve spent so much money on them. Either way, I love my manicures! Truth is I kind of hate the process; I find it sooo boring, but the result is totally worth it. So, I’ve thought that since most of my Greek readers would probably be away these days (we had the biggest public holiday yesterday) I should postpone any outfit posts and show you something else instead. These are most of the manicures I’ve done myself for the past 2.8 months I’ve been blogging. Most of them can be found on my facebook page, on their specific album, but it’s different to see them all together. I’ve also done some posts about my manicures in the past, which I’m going to link under the photo. Which one is your favorite? I’d love to get your opinion. And if you want to see more of these make sure to follow me on Facebook, Twitter and my latest obsession Instagram. 😉

How to do outline nails | manicure tutorial
A few weeks ago, I did a similar manicure, and I was asked by many of you to do a tutorial. I know it would have been much easier for you to watch a video tutorial, but honestly, I don’t know how to do one, nor I have the time and energy to experiment with videos for the time being. I’m not saying that I never will, just not now. But it’s a really easy manicure to do, even for the less experienced (like me, who is a complete amateur who learned how to do everything by simply experimenting on my nails… I’m no way an expert), so I took many pictures, in hopes that they’ll be enough to show you how I did it, step by step. Since I didn’t want to use the same colors, I tried something I wanted for a while now, inspired by this pin on Pinterest, which takes border mani a step further by adding a mat finish. Totally loved the result! I want to thank T. for taking once again pictures for me. I’ll put a short label under each photo to guide you step by step on the process.
