I once did lip design on my nails, but I never posted that manicure on the blog. So I decided to do this lip design again, but on nude base which I really enjoy these days. I got a lot of compliments on this manicure and everyone seemed to think I stamped it on, but it's actually a free hand design.

I did two coats of nude nail polish as a base. I used Sally Hansen Color Therapy Nail Polish - 180 Chai on Life.

Then I took brighter red nail polish, which was Kiko LE Arctic Holiday Nail Lacquer - 02 Breathtaking Red and a small long brush for creating stripes. I used it to draw on design of the lips. At first I thought I'll make them all the same, but then I did some bigger and some smaller to not make it look like wallpaper. 

It's hard to draw anything on with free hand, but I think it shouldn't be too perfect. After all, it's free hand, not a stamp. Mine definitely isn't all the same, but it still looked fun once it was all done. 

I also applied thicker shiny top coat which was Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat. Make sure to wait for the design to completely dry and avoid smudging, but I was in a rush, so I had no choice. Some smeared a little, but it wasn't that noticeable. Oh and I also did it on my other hand. That was a struggle.
