Hey guys! Today I have some beach inspired nails to show you. It didn't turn out quite as well as it hoped, but that just gives me an excuse to paint my nails again later, right?
For the sky/base color I used Gumdrop (Orly), The sandy beach color is Savana (TokiDoki), Fly Away (Sinful Colors) was used for the water. Other colors used were Stormy (Revlon), Super Star (Pure Ice), and Super Nature (Revlon).
On another note only a little more than 2,000 views before I hit my goal for my first giveaway. I'm going to try to get some awesome prizes lined up, but what sorts of prizes would you guys like?
Hello pretty people! I present unto you red crackle over a yellow/orange gradient. The gradient was kind of lost behind the crackle, but I like the effect. My boyfriend said the looked like lava. I used L.A. Colors in Shock and Sinful Colors in Cloud 9 for the gradient and the red crackle is from Pure Ice and is called Show Stopper.
Ok, so at this point I'm feeling like I should just give up on my who no buy month. I just cant resist a good deal. I ended up getting a small haul yesterday and I figured I'd share it along with my nails today.
I picked up a couple of Pure Ice bottles and some Kiss Nail Dress from Walgreen's and some L.A. Colors Art Deco from the Family Dollar up the street. I thought the Pure Ice ones (Siren and Iced Copper) were crackle polishes but it turned out they weren't. I ended up returning Siren because I already have red cream polishes that I love but I don't wear red very much anyway. I ended up picking up Show Stopper when I went back, which isn't pictured but I'm going to redo my nails here after I'm done and plan on using it, so I'll be sure to post it tomorrow. The Nail Dress that I got was only $2.99! I'm excited to use them. Anyhow... Here are my nails for the past couple days
I used Spoiled by Wet n Wild in I'm So Jaded with a thin coat of Appletini Fizz From Revlon over top, and then put a generous coat of China Glaze in Black Mesh. Please excuse the skin around my nails. I wasn't as careful and was in a hurry and had no time to clean up.
I'm kind of proud of my mani today. I was inspired by a post on reddit that you can see here. This is really the first geometric kind of print I have done and I love it. I used China Glaze in Sea Spray for the base on all my nails. Dotting and taping was done using Pure Ice in Kiss Me Here and Super Star (white), and also China Glaze in First Mate. Hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
Hello lovelies! I've been so frickin busy the past couple days. I haven't had time to do my nails or really anything at all relaxing. So today I thought I would harness some beachiness in my mani. It didn't show up as well in the pictures but I have some beachy stamping done over a yellow/orange gradient.
Here is a closer look at a palm tree detail I put on my middle finger. The colors I used were Sinful Colors in Cloud 9 for the orange, and Finger Paints in Art Nouv-Yellow. The stamping was done with Pure Ice in Really Rio.
