Sponged Ombre Triangles

Hi there! I have had this manicure in my head for the longest time and finally decided to execute it. I tried a few things for the triangles, first i tried to make a stencil out of tape which didn't work so well. Next, I just taped off individual triangles but that took forever..

In the end, I just sponged without tape using the corner of a make up sponge and that worked much better and faster. Since I was going to be outlining with my nail art brush it worked out perfectly. 

This was a fun manicure to do, intricate and time consuming but very worth it.

I really like the way this manicure turned out, I just wish that I had made the colors a bit more bold especially since I went with black to outline them. I am going to give this one another go in a few weeks to try and perfect it! Thanks for reading friends, I hope you enjoyed this one :)

Nothing Else Metals

Hello my beautiful friends! The other day I wasn't feeling so good so to cheer me up my honey surprised me with a new nail polish. He did a great job picking because it's a polish that I've wanted for a while but didn't have and the color is so pretty. It is not easy buying nail polish for me considering I have Hundreds of bottles.

Essie Nothing Else Metals is a metallic silver/purple and it is my new favorite to stamp with. NEM stamped like a dream and I can't wait to try the other shades from this collection  

I used Mash plate Mash-49 to add the stars on a black base which is one coat of Orly Liquid Leather, the best black polish on the market.

I am obsessed with these nails, I planned on doing 4 or 5 different manicures in one sitting to get some back up posts started but I stopped at this one. Hahaha this is way too pretty to not have for a few hours! :)  GOOD JOB HONEY! You're amazing, thank you so much for one of my new favs! 

Thanks for reading, I hope you all like this one.

These nails were mostly done with different sized dotting tools, I used a nail art pen for the outline of the pink dinosaur.

Fiery Gradient Nails

Hey there! Here is a fun and fiery manicure for you all on this beautiful Friday!

I made this bright gradient using all China Glaze polishes.

 Roguish Red/ Sun Worshiper/ Happy Go Lucky

Konad plate M63 stamped with Orly Liquid Vinyl for the swirls

I have been practicing my gradients lately and I must say this is one of my best. I use triangular makeup sponges and they work really well! I  was skeptical about this color combination but I am glad that I stepped out of my comfort zone and went this way. Thanks for reading, until next time!

Candy Paint

What's up loves? I have been wanting to use this candy plate from Bundle Monster for the longest time, and thanks to some new polish I was inspired! 

Bundle Monster plate BM-306 for the cute candy. This plate transferred like a dream. I didn't have to do any second attempts, which was great since I was working with two polishes.  I got my nail plates from Amazon.com click here to buy.

China Glaze Escaping Reality for the base, a gorgeous hot pink from the Cirque Du Soleil collection. I went for Ombre purple/white for the candy. The purple is Tart-y For the Party  from the CG Avant Garden collection and the white is Sinful Colors Snow Me White

I topped this manicure with a coat of CG Fairy Dust to add some sparkle, blurry pic to capture it.

Thank you so much for reading, I hope you guys like this one! Until next time :)

Cheetahlicious!

Hi guys! Today I have a very bright and playful Cheetah  manicure...

Unfortunately, I don't know the name of the yellow polish, I got it from Ross for super cheap in a set of 6 Color Club polishes and none of them had names. Two coats of the "Mystery" yellow, then two coats of Jupiter a glow in the dark polish from American Apparel. (yes this mani glows in the dark but I could not get a good pick for the life of me..sorry)

Hot pink polka random dots, a cheetah print from Mash plate Mash 40, top coat and this manicure is all done! 

I hope you like this one, I am clearly ready for summer time! Thanks for reading :)
