Hi guys! I stumbled across this fake sugar powder at the Japanese store here a little while back. It is supposed to be used for decorating you phone and all that but I couldn't resist trying it on my nails.
The base is Color Club Blue-Ming from the other day. To get the powder to stick I covered my nails with a thick coat of top coat and dipped them in the powder. I gave the top coat a minute to start drying then pushed the powder down into it and brushed the excess off. It worked way better than I thought it would!
It's definitely not something to wear all the time, or practical at all, but it is interesting and kind of cool to look at.
Here is a picture of the sugar powder I used.
Have you tried anything like this on your nails before?

it is soooo sweet. I envy you fake sugar, it looks great on your nails. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteKind of reminds me of caviar nails.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I didn't like the caviar nails and I've had the sugar for a while so I figured I would try it.
DeleteSo fun!!
ReplyDeleteYou're so lucky to be able to find amazing nail art stuff like that!
Yes, I really liked it! I will be so sad when we leave!
Deleteoh wow i love it!!!!!!! I just wish it lasted for a few days!!! Looks great over Blue-ming
ReplyDeleteI love this mani! It's really cool and it came out great!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteNever seen anything like it! It wouldn't last over a day on me (heavily textured things never do) but this looks SO cool!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I do wish it lasted longer.
DeleteThats awesome! *o*
ReplyDeleteHaha, that's pretty neat! It kinda looks like salt to me more then sugar! If it was colored I'd get more of a sugar vibe from it. Still neat though.
ReplyDeleteThanks! That's what I thought at first! I wish I could think of some way to dye it pink!
DeleteHmm maybe hair color or kool-aid or food coloring would work depending on how porous it is. Maybe it would retain some of the dye. I'd love to see how it turns out if you try to dye it!
DeleteI thought about it but I don't think the powder is porous enough to hold anything. It's not really like powder, more like clay or plastic. I will have to think of something to try!
DeleteThis is a really cute idea! I would wear this if I were going to an anime convention, or a manga convention. It feels really fun and cosplay!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! I could totally see it there!
DeleteUnique and cute!
ReplyDeleteI love it! It looks good enough to eat, haha!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteI want this on my nails right now!!
ReplyDeleteIt is fun, thanks!
DeleteThis is really cool! I love how the base colour shines through making the sugar look tinted. I've tried the "caviar nails" look before, but haven't tried sticking anything else to my nails... maybe I'll have to start getting creative? ;)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! Yes, give it a try, I'm always on the lookout for things to put on my nails these days!
DeleteYes, this nail art is not very practical but it looks like you dipped your nails in sugar...sweet!
ReplyDeleteWas it a pain to remove?
Actually, it wasn't that bad! No worse than removing glitter.
