Classy Lace

Hey Y'all! 
Today I've got a gorgeous classy lace design. 
It's featurin my favorite Cuccio polish "Bali Bliss!" This polish is just beyond gorgeous and it's so hard to capture it's true essence on camera. You really have to see it in person. It has so much dimension and always looks glassy and perfect!

Here's how:
Start with the perfect base of Cuccio "Bali Bliss."

I'm usin this bundle Monster plate 323 with the lace design.

Start by coverin the image with a white polish, Salon Perfect "Sugar Cube."

Then scrape the polish towards me with my creative shop scraper.

Pick up the image with a rollin motion on my creative shop stamper.

Then I line up my nail to the image and press into the stamper.

Clean your stamper with a piece of tape.

Use a small brush with acetone to clean up any excess polish on the skin. 

Finish off with your favorite top coat. I use Salon Perfect.

And That's It!




Ugh I just love this look so much! I think I might wear it all weekend because I can't bear to take it off!
I hope y'all love it just as much!

Recycle Mani Monday: Floral

Hey Y'all!
Recycle Mani Monday!
Today I changed my cotton mani into a floral mani. 


Here's How:

I started with my previous cotton bud mani:

I used a dottin tool and a burgundy polish to cover up all the cotton buds and create the base of my flowers. The polish I used was Avon "Very Berry."

Then I went in with a striper brush and lighter pink polish and filled in the middle of the flowers. I used Avon "Parfait Pink."

I went back in with the striper brush and a little more of the berry color on top of the light pink just to add a bit more definition.

Then I quickly went in with a green striper brush (Salon Perfect "Green Stem,") to add a little greenery as leaves.

Here's a closer look at the final design.

Use your favorite top coat to seal it all in. I use Salon Perfect. 

And that's It!




I hope y'all enjoyed this one! I liked this manicure both ways!

Sparkle Cotton Buds

Hey Y'all!
Today I have a different design for ya. I had no idea what to do on my nails and I knew I wanted a palette cleanser, and cotton buds just came to mind. I had already had a white back ground on and so I thought the cotton would look pretty on top. 

Here's how:
I started with a white base of Salon Perfect "Sugar Cube."

Then added a layer of Salon Perfect "Snowed In," glitter.

and sandwiched it in with one layer of Sinful Colors "Outta Space."

Next with a striper brush and a brown polish I drew a stem for the cotton. I used Elf  "Smoky Brown."

Then with a dottin tool and a grey polish I added lil grey puffs for the cotton. The grey I used was Sephora Formula X "Extraordinary."

Once that was dry I went in with the striper brush and the white polish and filled in the centers of the cotton to help give it more dimension. 

Then I went back in with the brown to create more definition in the stem around the cotton buds.

here's a closeup of the finished look.

Use your favorite top coat to seal it all in. I use Salon Perfect.

And that's it!




I know this was a different design idea but I hope y'all enjoyed it just the same!

Black and Gold Abstract

Hey Y'all!
Today I have a black and gold abstract design for ya!

Here's How:
I started with a gold base of Sinful Colors "Gold Medal."

Then with a striper brush and a matte black polish (Sinful Colors "Whipped") I painted a line down half my nail just right of the actual center. 

and paint a second line next to the first, leavin a gap of gold in between them.

Next paint a line connectin from the first line to the outer edges of the nail. 

Repeat on the other side. 

Then with the actual polish brush fill in the two sections. 

Like this. 

For the pinky I did the whole nail so just 2 stripes down the nail, leavin that gold gap.

Fill in the two sides.

Use a small brush with acetone to clean up any excess polish on the skin.

And that's it!




I love the way these turned out. The matte black looks so good against the gold.
