The manicure is very simple, yet the effect is breathtaking. I started by applying 2 coats of black creme polish on my nails. Then a coat of Insta-Dri, in case I had to correct anything. Then I applied white on all the nails, or else the red wouldn't show up. Finally went over the white using bright red creme polish, which is very translucent. And I was done =)
Everything was done using local brand polishes, but you can easily dupe this manicure using a generic black and red =)

ReplyDeleteThank you Lady Gray =) Thanks to Mayparis' great idea which inspired me =)
ReplyDeleteooo wow! great idea! beautiful combo!! love love love!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you, serena =)))
ReplyDeleteReally beautiful! That design truely accents the nails as heels accent the legs! So feminine <3
ReplyDeleteThank you, Doo =))) I think so, too! I love this version way more than the traditional Lubu manicure idea =)
ReplyDeleteThose look really great :D Well done :) And I really love your pictures :D
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, rijah! =) Well, with some help of lightbox and paint shop pro they are more crisp and clear =)
ReplyDeleteso fun i love !!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lily nail =)
ReplyDeleteWaw!
ReplyDeleteAs the shoe freak I am: Loooove the shoes. The manicure is really something else, and stunningly cool!! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you sonidlo and laquermanic =) I also love louboutins, but I don't think I could walk on them, I'm too clumsy =DDD
ReplyDeleteWow stunning! I loved this mani, looks thousand times better than the original lubu manicure. I would try to do this if I had steady hands :( By the way Flormar should use your last photo as an ad :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Marjo =) Steady hands were an issue for me in the beginning, but I solved it by resting both my elbows on a steady place, like a desk, but apart from each other. Then I lie the brush flat on the nail, with lots of polish on it, and slowly drag it upwards. It should be very easy then =)
ReplyDeleteThanks, I feel relieved. For a moment, when I saw the title and not the pics yet, I was afraid you'd do this thing to paint under your nails with red polish (ugghhh, no offense to anyone I find that so disgusting). But.... but you're far beyond that (of course). The result is very Morticia-like. Which of course I love. (Oh and you're wearing the ring that I prefer!)
ReplyDeleteThis one kicks ass!
ReplyDeleteYEAH! =O
This is so cool - Simple and stunning!

Love this. Looks awesome. I might have to try this one. Ive seen the ones with red underneath the nail but I dont like painting the underside of my nails.
ReplyDeleteIt looks great! You did a good job. =)
ReplyDeleteThank you Nathalie =) I don't like it either, and I never thought of doing that kind of Lubu manicure =) Thanks to Mayparis I've now found a better way =) Btw, I'm always wearing the ring, it's sort of an engagement ring... I bet this mani will look wonderful on you!
ReplyDeleteThank you Thess, Tiffani and Sasha =)
Hey L, I don't like to paint outside the nails, either... Especially the underside! It's barely managable and everything gets on the skin... =/ Was never really interested in it.
I love your twist on this!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Andreia =D
ReplyDeletewow, this is such a good idea, and beautifully executed!
ReplyDeleteThanks, manicuremania =)))
ReplyDeleteWow, unexpected and so elegant. I do like it so much better than the "original" take on the Louboutin mani.
ReplyDeleteThank you Liz =) Yeah, me too! Mayparis has such original ideas =)
ReplyDeletevery weird...i like 'em!
ReplyDeleteHaha thanks Emma!
ReplyDeleteYou take such awesome pictures. That's a stunning mani.
ReplyDeletethank you mKat =))) thanks to my lightbox, the pictures have improved a bit... =)
ReplyDeleteVery cool! I wouldn't have thought of this, it's very original and creative =)

ReplyDeleteSorry I made a mess with previous comment...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful mani!! Elegant but not dull...I didn't like the idea of painting underneath my nails, too (messy and somehow I prefer my nail to "breath" a little bit)
no problem smalty, glad you liked it =)))
