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!

Blue Watermarble

Hey Y'all!

After a week of hardly no nails I am back with a watermarble! 

I'm so glad I had those swatches of Polishtbh to share with y'all since I was not feelin too good all week. I am finally feelin like I might actually truly be gettin better from this crazy illness. 

I've been plannin this watermarble since my last pink one I did and I'm so excited to finally have it done! 

Here's How:

Start with a cup of room temperature water, nothin special just out of the tap. Also prepped my nail with tape and 1 coat of Salon Perfect "Cold As Ice," pastel blue.

Begin buildin your bullseye in the water. The colors I'm usin are, Salon Perfect "Cold as Ice," Avon "Vibe/Impression," and Sephora Formula X "Omni." 

This is my finished bullseye.

Then I take my needle and draw from the middle to the edge of the cup on both sides.

Then I drag from one side to the other side of the cup alternating sides in a criss cross like pattern.

It will look like this when you're done.

Pick the spot of the marble that you want and line your nail up.

Dip your nail slowly into the water

Cleanup the complete surface of the water with a qtip.

Then remove your nail slowly from the water.

Take off the tape

and cleanup any excess polish on the skin with a small brush and acetone.

My accent nail is China Glaze "Seahorsin Around," a textured polish.

Use your favorite top coat on your watermarble. I use Salon Perfect.

And that's it. 

Here's the video:

Mini Leopard Print

Hey Y'all!

Don't ask me why, but the other day I got it in my head that I needed some mini leopard print in my life. So I set out to cover all 10 fingernails in it! It took me an hour! I painted them in bed while catchin up on Youtube videos so the time passed quickly, but it did take forever! That bein said I absolutely LOVE them! 

I also painted the bottoms red to add that Louboutin look! 

Here's How:

Start with a nude base. I used Avon "Barely There."

Then with a teeny tiny dotting tool or toothpick and some black acrylic paint begin drawin tiny c's all over your nail.

Keep drawin them randomly around the nail. I like to start at the cuticle and add some dots every now and then.

Keep goin til it looks like this.

Then with a gold polish, Confetti "Debutante," and the same dotting tool, I added dots in the middle of all the open c's. 

Til it looks like this.

With a small brush and acetone cleanup any excess paint on the skin.

Then on the bottom of my nails I took a red polish and gave them that Louboutin look. I used Zoya "Haley."

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

And that's it!

Here's the video:

I hope y'all enjoyed this one! I don't know if I've ever really done a video showin a leopard print so it was fun to do that while also givin it a step up! 

I really love the way these turned out! Even though it took awhile to do these, it wasn't so bad that I wouldn't do it again! I just needed somethin different right now and this was perfect!
