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!

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!

Red & Black Watermarble

Hey Y'all!

I have a really fun, different watermarble for you today. 

I know when you look at it, it seems like a regular been done before marble, but it's different and fun for me because of the colors I used.

This was originally gonna be a red, black and silver marble but my silver did not want to cooperate in the water. So I had already had the silver painted on my nails as my base so I decided to use just the red and black. So I dunked my nails into the marble and when I pulled them out, I was in love. The red had sheered out just enough in the water that when it went onto the silver it turned a metallic red! I absolutely loved it and thought it was so fun that the colors had transformed each other! 

So Let's get into the tutorial:

I started with a silver base of Sephora Formula X "Need For Speed" and have my fingers taped for easier cleanup.

I start buildin my bullseye. I used Sephora Formula X "Dark Matter," black and Sephora Formula X "Flashy," red. 

This is my finished bullseye.

Then with a needle I draw from the center of the bullseye out to the edge of the cup on both sides (or top and bottom, however the cup is facin you)

Then I drag across the cup in a criss cross pattern to create the chevron like design.

It'll look somethin like this.

Then I line my nails up in the cup and dunk them into the design. I did two nails at a time for this one. 

With a qtip cleanup the whole surface of the water before pullin your nails out.

Slowly pull your nails out of the water and checkout your design.

Next remove your tape and cleanup any little bits of polish that may have gotten on the skin.

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

And that's it!

I really love the way these turned out because of that mix with the red and silver. 

I hope y'all enjoyed these!

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.

Finally finish it up with the lightest purple (Salon Perfect "Lilacking Control"). I also only added 3 lines of this.

It will look somethin like this.

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

And that's it!
