Recycle Mani Monday: Belle

Hey Y'all!

Recycle Mani Monday here again!

I know this week isn't a traditional recycle mani, as I just had a swatch on, but I had to get rid of my weekend mani. I had had it on since Wednesday night and was sick of it! haha! 

But I still recycled the color so there ya go! 

First of all I love this color! It's Orly Color Blast "Enchanted Rose" from the new belle collection at walgreens! I wanted the whole collection, but mostly just for the names gol! None of the other colors were really that unique and I spose you could say this one isnt either, but to me it is! I absolutely love it! It's such a beautiful hot pink with opaly color shifty shimmer! And so of course I had to do roses on top to go with the name! 

Here's How:

I started by usin a red liner polish to make rough circle shapes down the side of my nail. They don't need to be perfect circles. The liner I used is Salon Perfect "Laser Beam."

They'll look like this.

Then I decided to do a standin rose on the ring finger. I started making small lines at the top of the nail comin in from the sides to meet eachother in the middle. Little swoops kind of. 

It'll look somethin like this. 

Then I used a light pink polish (Salon Perfect "Pocketful of Posies) and a striper brush to create the definition of the rose petals. I started with a dot in the center and then created a bunch of parenthesis like shapes around the roses. I also outlined the roses a little thicker than the inside with this color. 

It'll look like this.

Next I basically did the same thing on the standin rose, just goin from top to bottom, criss crossin the lines. 

It'll look like this. 

With a medium green liner polish I made quick little leaves. The liner is Salon Perfect "Green Stem."

I also made a stem on the standin rose

and some leaves and thorns. 

I finished it off with a lime green liner (Salon Perfect "Spring") to add definition to all the leaves. Just a quick line and some quick flicks across the leaves. 

also add some to the stem and thorns.

The finished design will look like this! 

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

And that's it!

I know this is super girly for me, but I am really lovin it! It feels so dainty and beautiful! And it's helpin me love my new nubbins, while they grow back! This color is amazin and I know I'll be usin it a lot this summer!

Fiery Watermarble

Hey Y'all! 

Today I have a little fire for ya! 

This was a random design I decided to do and I kinda like it! 

Here's how:

I started with a coat of Orly "Push The Limit" and taped my finger. You'll need a cup of room temp water. Mine is just tap water that I let out to sit while I get everythin else ready.

Then I start buildin my bullseye. I started with Orly "Fireball," Dare To Wear "Lemon Drop," and Orly "Push The Limit."

That's my full bullseye. The red wouldn't let anythin spread too far but it's big enough for one nail.

With my needle I drew from the middle to the side on both sides.

Then from the bottom of the cup to the top. just makin petal shapes in one direction. 

Next I drew back down each petal in a wiggly motion to create a flame like design.

Pick the part of the design you want and dunk your nail into it.

Use a qtip to clean up the entire surface of the water before pullin your nail out.

Remove the tape and use a small brush with acetone to cleanup the excess polish on the skin.

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 really like the way my middle nail turned out gol. I wish more of the nails had turned out like it, but overall I still like this design.

Recycle Mani Monday: Grunge

Hey Y'all!

I have a fun new series I'm startin today, called "Recycle Mani Monday!"

Basically every Monday I'm goin to recycle my weekend manicure instead of startin over with a whole new design. So by recycle I mean I'm just goin to add onto my previous mani to create a new one. I thought it would be really fun to make it a new series for my youtube and instagram! 

So speakin of that, I'm makin it a hash tag as well! 

If you'd like to join in here's all you have to do:

Post your recycled mani to instagram every Monday

And hashtag it #RecycleManiMonday

Then every Tuesday I will feature some of my favorites from the hashtag! 

Here's my recycle for this week!

I went with a grunge graffiti look.

Here's How:

I started with my previous mani from Sunday. 

Then I took black acrylic paint and dabbed it onto a scrunched up piece of saran wrap. I dabbed some of the paint onto a paper towel to remove excess amounts.

Next just sponge it onto your nail.

This is how mine looked after the black. 

Then I recycled my saran wrap by turnin it inside out, so the black was inside now and I had a clean surface on the outside.

And I repeated the spongin with a blue acrylic paint.

I used my small brush and acetone to clean up any excess paint on the skin.

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

And that's it! You have a brand new recycled mani in a matter of minutes!
