China Glaze Second-Hand Silk

China Glaze Second-Hand Silk is a pastel pink color that leans towards the brighter side. I really like the color and the I wanted to create something fun with my nails so I did a simple design that is similar to a French Tip.

I used this polish as a French Tip, and then afterwards used my white stripping polish to draw a singular line right underneath. Both only required one coat and it still showed up quite well. Over top of the nail, I used my new
CND Effects Raspberry Sparkle on top to give it a bit of a sparkle.

The results turned out quite nicely, and I really enjoyed how natural it looked and how easily it worked with my outfits. This picture is taken on Day 4 after application so there might be a bit of tip wear but I hope it's not too noticeable! Now that there is some sun, there will be better pics to come!

Clockwise: White Striping Polish,
CND Effects Raspberry Sparkle, Lush Lemony Flutter
