Purple Rose Ombre

Hey Y'all!

I have a flirty rose ombre for ya today! I was browsin pinterest for inspiration last night and came across this beautiful purple ombre rose cake. It was so beautiful I knew I had to make a mani out of it!

Here's the cake

and Here's my mani

Here's how:

I started with a base of Salon Perfect "Sugar Cube," white.

Then created my ombre on a makeup sponge usin Salon Perfect "Sugar Cube," "Lilacking Control," "Purple Pop," and "A Royal Affair."

Sponge it onto your nail. all around up and down to mix the colors together.

Repeat as many times as needed for full opacity. I did 3 coats.

With a qtip and acetone I cleaned up the big splotches of polish on the skin.

Then used my small brush with the acetone to cleanup the cuticle.

For the rose outlines I use Salon Perfect Nail Art Liner in "Fuchsia Sparkle." I just start with a dot and add parenthesis shapes around it, staggering them so they don't perfectly line up.

and just continue that til you fill up your whole nail.

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

and That's It!

Here's the video:

I had to take a pic with my purty purple flowers!

I hope y'all enjoyed this! I really like the way these turned out and I'm not really a purple person but for some reason this really sticks out to me. I'm also really glad I went with the purple glitter for the roses, I like the way it looks.

Ombre Lines

Hey Y'all!

Today I have an ombre line mani completely inspired by @rockyournails!

I loved it when I saw Mely post it and had to recreate it!

She did a blue one and

so I decided to do a purple one!

Here's How:

I started with a holographic purple base of Color Club "Eternal Beauty."

Then with a striper brush and dark purple polish (Sephora Formula X "Haphazard"), I begin makin lines or stripes startin at the cuticle.

Every couple of lines should be broken lines. I draw about 4 lines of the dark purple.

Then I repeat this step with a medium purple (Sephora Formula X "Indelible"). I only added 3 lines of this color because I was runnin out of nail space.
