First attempt at a Drag Mani


Hello! So today I am actually really excited about my nails! I tried the "drag  method" for the first time! So if you are a nail follower on Instagram you have probably heard of Sveta_sanders.  If not you need to look her up! Her nails are just WOW! Plus her tutorials make everything look so easy and effortless! Her "drag manis" have been featured on pretty much every nails account and they are just mesmerizing to me. So I decided to try one, and however it didn't turn out 100% I really like them! 


First off I don't think they would look nearly as good with out these mega sparkly colors! ;D I feel like with out them they would look just blah and you would be able to see every little mistake! So thank you colors for being so beautiful and distracting! For this look I used Zoya Aurora and Color Club Harp on It



You do this design one nail at a time because the "art" of it is all done while wet. You put on your main color and then an arch of another color where your moon would be, and then use a small dotter and drag it up towards your cuticle. All of this is done while you polish is wet!



I know it sounds a bit confusing but that's the best way I can really put it into words. I watched her tutorial probably about 20 times just to make sure I was doing it right. ;D



I really feel like these colors worked FABULOUSLY together! Plus all of this sparkle is just perfect! Gotta love sparkle! ;)

So what do you all think of this look? It's not perfect but it's fun!! Would you try this, or have you already? Any other color combo suggestions!? I hope you all enjoyed these as much as I did! Also to any of my readers who are being affected/are in the projected path of Tropical Storm Erika I hope you all are staying safe! This next week will be interesting for all Floridians!

Happy Painting!
