Hi everyone!

It’s time for another ‘Neverending Pile’ post. Today’s prompt is Pastels and I decided to use the Essence Me & My Ice Cream polishes to create some appropriate Ice Cream nails! Ice cream nails have been done plenty of times before and I don’t know who did them first or where I first saw them, but this is my first attempt at creating them. With this mani I managed to use 4 untried pastels! I started off with the main colour of the cone as my base. I didn’t have a good shade for this so I mixed Tip Top Baby Cheeks and Essence Mister Rusty. I used my biggest dotting tool to create the shape of the ice cream using Sinful Colors Snow Me White as a base for the pastels. I then used the 4 Essence Me & My Ice Cream shades for the ice cream, with Always in my Mint on my thumb and middle finger, Ben & Cherries on my index finger, Icylicious on my ring finger, and Ice, Ice Baby on my pinkie finger. For the criss-cross pattern on the cones, I used a fine nail art brush and NYX Matte Chocolate. I used pearl rhinestones from the Born Pretty Store for the cherries and finally for the sprinkles I topped it with some Caviar beads from the Grazia Night Out Caviar Nails Kit. The kit comes with 2 bottles of caviar beads and even though I’d used the other ones, it was also the first time I tried these multicoloured beads. What do you think of this look? Remember, you can also take part in the challenge if you’d like! Just check out the Facebook Group. Here are the prompts: Take a look at the other Pastel nails for today:
