Valentine Twine Dry Brush

Hey Y'all! 
Valentine's Day is now only a few days away! I might have one more design before my actual Valentine's Day nails, but I'm not sure yet. These are another dry brush design, but this time they're inspired by a twine background with a heart, that I saw on Pinterest. 

Here's How:

I started with a nude base of China Glaze "Don't Honk Your Horn." 

Next I'm usin a darker nude (Island Girl "Surfing Paradise") and wiping the brush off on the bottle as much as possible.

Then I'm going to sweep the polish brush across my nail until I get the desired coverage. 

I'm repeating this with a pink color. Pure Ice "Taupe Drawer." Wipe the brush off and sweep it across the nail.

And again with a dark brown (Pure Ice "Scandal"). Wipe the brush off and sweep across the nail. Do this one more lightly so you don't cover the whole nail in darkness.

Then I went back in with a little more pink to cover some of the dark brown, so it wouldn't be too harsh.

Next I went in with more of the first nude.

And finally I topped it all off with the China glaze base color.

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

Then I went in with a detail brush and a red polish, Salon Perfect "Salsa Dance," and outlined a heart in the middle of my nail.

And filled it in completely.

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

And that's it!

Hope y'all enjoyed this! I'm really happy with how these turned out!

Incase this is the last post before Valentine's Day, I hope y'all have a wonderful weekend full of love! 

Heather Grey Dry Brush

Hey Y'all!  I am a little late in gettin this blog post up, but I'm doin it anyways! This is for my heather grey Tshirt inspired dry brush! 

Let's just get right into it!

I started with a light grey base of Sephora Formula X "Extraordinary."

Then with a darker grey, Essie "Chinchilly," I wiped the brush off on the bottle as much as possible.

Then in back and forth sweeping motions, I brushed it across the nail, leaving streaks. 

Then again with another darker grey, Sinful Colors "My Turn," I wiped the brush off as much as possible. 

And again in sweeping motions, drag it across the nail. Not completely covering the nail. 

And finally use a white, Salon Perfect "Sugar Cube." 

Wipe the brush off as much as possible. 

And sweep it across the nail. 

I continue repeating the process, alternating the colors until I get the desired look. 

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

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

And that's it!

Watermelon Dry Brush

Hey Y'all!

I'm here with another watermelon inspired mani! 

I decided to do a dry brush and wanted to use my new China Glaze "Highlight Of My Summer,' mint green and then decided it needed to be watermelon colors! So I grabbed a hot pink, white and black and went to town! 

Here's How:

I started with a base of China Glaze "Highlight Of My Summer." 

Then I used Salon Perfect "Oh Snap" as my first dry brush layer.

You wipe the brush off on the bottle as much as possible and then quickly drag it across the nail, creatin streaks. 

Next I used Salon Perfect "Sugar Cube" white.

Wipe it off and drag across the nail.

The last color I used was Fantasy Makers "Witch Black."

Wipe the brush and drag across the nail.

Then I went back with the pink and drug it horizontally across the nail this time.

again with the white, 

and black.

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

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

And that's it! 

Here's the Video:

Glows a little under the blacklight!

I love the way this turned out. I feel like I say that a lot but I really do. Sometimes I think a dry brush mani will be too simple, but they always turn out so much cooler than in my head. I love the color combo and just how bright they are.

Pastel Dry Brush

Hey Y'all!

Today I have a spring pastel dry brush usin most of the new Salon Perfect spring collection! 

I love these colors so much and just had to try a dry brush with them! 

Here's how:

I started with each nail a different color for the bases but this nail I'm workin on is Salon Perfect "Mint Julep."

Then with "Mellow Yellow" I wipe the brush off as much as possbile on the bottle

Then drag the brush along the nail to create streaks.

Repeat the process with "Georgia Peach."

and "Cold as Ice"

and finally "Lilacking Control."

Then I went back in with all the colors in vertical streaks this time to add more texture.

it will look somethin like this.

Then 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!
